    So, i did some things last week

    First thing was to remove my old KGworks Gauge rings from my cluster and replace them by the AWD thick ones... adn the result is... that... i'm speechless.
    I knew that those rings were kind of a graal, pretty rare... and many more superlatives... but this feeling ... i remember myself staring at the full assembly in the car some long minutes with an idiot smile upon my face ...
    The complete cluster is a real masterpiece ! I'm in love again !
    Arigatou gozaimasu Ryoichi-san


    Then i received my order from Davefab in UK
    Washer tank , oil catch-up tank and expansion tank, with braided hoses .
    All anodized in gold to try to match to mazdaspeed gold color, not bad , don't you think ? Installation still in progress, i'm a bit lazy these dayzzzzzz....


    A quick pic of the ARC titanium radiator cover. well taking care of by my little bwwwabit

    I also clean a bit the radiators (sweating under first sun of the year here in France ^^) and took care of the ARC one .
    First impression the ARC is so heavy compared to the KOYORAD, the number of fins is no way near to the koyo one. weight near doubled


    And last but not least, i also clean a bit my last stupid compulsive auction...

    Thick rings..... you’ll never understand how crazy cool they are until you see them in person. Even better when they are on your personal miata.

    Beautiful additions! This thread always makes me feel better about my impulsive shopping sprees! Did you color the needles or were they always orange/ red?

    This is what my Google search got me when searching for "jdmff" fender flares.

    Thanks Paulo! To be fair I think we already had this discussion but I tried going through your post history to find the answer and couldn't find it.

    You have any feedback/complaints with the flares? For the money they seem hard to beat and from the pics you have posted the fitment seems pretty good, just as good as many fiberglass flares made specifically for the miata.

    Any updates on BlueStar?

    Pretty much any complaint regarding the fenders, very flexible, very easy to follow the car curves. I suggest you to buy the flare rubber to properly "seal" the flares.



    Regarding Bluestar, i'm trying really hard to bring all the parts together for the next step.... still missing the MS3 mini and some agressive cams...

    Here is a little tease ;) MIKUNI itb's
