Dorito ofcourse, miata is great. Its so well built you can go racing w/ it on touges and trackdays, or just put the top down, go cruise on some beach or mountain road and enjoy its true roadster nature. If hachi didn't existed, i'd probably be driing around in one of those.

oh cmoon man; i was just teasing some..
 i wrote an essay before on how great the car really is. Its not a girly car at all; there is perhaps a few girls that can bring out the true potential of an MX5. And if girls like the car, the better for you no? :wink:

Indeed Art, the engine is purring.
This quite 1.6 DOCH is in very good condition, underpowered but easy-reving! And it has a nice sound for stock  Now, I have a confecion to make: Drove around a bit today with the 17'' and I was surprised! Not that bad! Car looks really great, and steering wheell is now better. And its not as hard as I thought. Still driving my favourite "S" the car stood steady as a rock... Too much grip for my taste, and I see no reason why the chassis should take that abuse. They re still for sale :wink: danielvanderwoude Wrote:looks like the nmwisima joke saved you in the end http://www.jdmbits.com

AAAAAARRGGHHH nooooooo! Those are horrible! Stick to stock or classic rims imho..here are some suggestions:
![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - nmwisima's '96 Miata]](http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/users_photo/watana1.jpg "AEU86 AE86 - nmwisima's '96 Miata") ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - nmwisima's '96 Miata]](http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/users_photo/aiba-na.jpg "AEU86 AE86 - nmwisima's '96 Miata") ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - nmwisima's '96 Miata]](http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/users_photo/fuzihi4.jpg "AEU86 AE86 - nmwisima's '96 Miata") ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - nmwisima's '96 Miata]](http://www.charlescharlescharles.com/ken/01.JPG "AEU86 AE86 - nmwisima's '96 Miata") More on that last one: http://www.charlescharlescharles.com/ken/index.htm God I just love that car..very nice parts, escpecially suspension, completely stripped except for one bride seat...I really like those bride seats as well..shame that they don't like me (too big). Personally I would stick with the stock rims. Try and find either these(9lbs!): ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - nmwisima's '96 Miata]](http://www.wheels-and-rims.com/images/ALY64786U.jpg "AEU86 AE86 - nmwisima's '96 Miata") or these with wider rubber (looks much better)(11lbs): ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - nmwisima's '96 Miata]](http://marvin.ibest.uidaho.edu/~heckendo/Pictures/miata.jpg "AEU86 AE86 - nmwisima's '96 Miata") The reduced grip of heavier wheels is noticeable..at least it was to me. The car seems to skip more over bumpy surfaces then grip. On asfalt it doesn't really matter..Forget the wheels..take a look at miata.net (best automotive forum in the world..period) and some gold painted stock daisy rims..put the money you save from rims into the tein basic suspension. Looks classy in stead of cheap, is faster etc etc A wheel to steer the front of the car A pedal to steer the rear |
