    lovely, but they don't look good with that carpet color. Maybe a light grey, or that biscuit tan from the NB...

    In the pic that Demon posted? I think the floor mats are faded.

    Now that I have been paying attention to it even in other tan interior posts they all look similarly in lighter tan shade. It's the plush carpet tan carpet that actually resembles the OEM "Camel" tan carpet. Or may they were also faded lol.

    I kinda want to print another NA Miata tee-shirt for the forum, what about a widebody Miata on the front of the shirt, probably going to run 1 color this time as printing with more than 3 colors its crazy expensive in screen printing.

    I just had an agreement with the dude that was braking a brg NA8. He decided to keep the BRG intact for track purposes, and he is braking a USDM NA6 '91. So I got the black dash, black floor carpet, black door cards, both doors (manual windows converted to auto) and rear trunk woth third stop light.

    My project is taking shape finally!

    I'd love to find a nice-designed NB shirt, of course... but the NA ones are usually good.

    I've had the Mazdaspeed engine mounts in for a while now and man it's just rattling the shit out of my car. Everything is vibrating - my headlight, my hood latch, my steering column cover, stuff i don't even now is vibrating lol. But upshifts at high rpm are rock solid, no engine movement there buddy, none.
    Door bushes in for a week now and I can say the difference was quite noticeable on my car. Door section feels much more solid and less flexing over bumps.

    engine bay shot 'coz why not

    Would you suggest them for a daily? The engine mounts, I mean.

    Something else I wanted to ask. I read somewhere here, that in NA6 the 6 stands for 1.6l engines, and NA8 for 1.8l engines (89-93 and 94-97) for USDM and JDM models. What about EUDM models. The 94-97 with the detuned 1.6l are considered NA8?
