Put the XXR's on just to see how 15x7 et15 would fit. Tires are 195.50 (and backwards)Don't worry I didn't drive it like that, it was just a test fit.

Not technically mine, but a local forum member's project car that I've been wrenching on for a while. We got it running and driving over the weekend:
I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.
These photos are so good. I've been using another shot of this car as my desktop for the past week.
I'm curious about the vent? looking thing on the top of the roof. I have seen that in a a few photos of other cars but nothing close up. What is it? What does it do?

Thanks so much! And as for the vent on the roof it's a Subaru Spec-C Roof vent. It just allows cool air to rush into the cab no matter the temp outside, it feels great when you don't have a/c!

I did a write up on the install
Is this Old Grey Frog's car? If so, where is the Simpson hood? Any video?Not technically mine, but a local forum member's project car that I've been wrenching on for a while. We got it running and driving over the weekend:
It is! The hood is now back on the car. I am in the midst of road tuning the Hydra, reinstalling the last bits of the Nakamae interior, and fabbing up the NA6 crash pad with the gauge pods he found, the result will be basically the KG Works offerings of days past. Other odds and ends include installing a subtle rear diffuser, fender rolling, and fabbing up an undertray to seal up and direct air through the heat exchangers.
I do plan on taking some videos soon though. And pictures as soon as we wrap up all the rest of the exterior items and this thing visits a paint booth.

Thanks for the link. Very good work. I figured it was a vent but I wasn't positive. I've probably seen the Mazdaspeed top in some photos of Japanese cars. I don't know how the Mazdaspeed version would work but at least I satisfied my curiosity as to what it is.
^^one of my favorite miata's ever! I need to get my wheels finished already these are making me jealous lol
Last picture of my roadster with my new toy next to it.
you sold your miata for a MINIVAN?!?
