ghehe, fear not, for i have not converted to the dark side. I think turbos are great i such cars (4wd sedans).. not so much in a lightweight racers like miata or ae86. i guess ill have to feel it, to believee it

[nmwisima]

You will...

Not much done to the car since last update. Things are rstill running ok. Torsen is fun, though I d prefere a Clutch Type if I could find one...

I still need to get new absorbers, though when I past MOT a couple of weeks ago they all were better than 60% ...

Front strut bar bolted on, still I aint got pics of it.

Though, there are some parts on the way...


Aluminum handbrake lever


Brand new Nardi Classic Sport Type A steering wheel




Boss to fit the Nardi


Another Torsen
bought it for spare but sold it as a friend wanted it for his car


Center console Cup Holder
This very usefull item I found in great price, replaces the factory ashtray, which I dont need and provides space for mobile phone and a coffee


M'S Air Filter & Air Flow Meter
I ll now be able to test if my airflow works good


Miata low lip spoiler
Found it in fantastic price and allready painted in Breetish Racing Green and couldnt resist. I ll probably sell it but its worth a test fit :wink:


And finally, if everything goes fine with that strange seller...


That black center will go but not sure its gonna be just sandblasting to original color or painted gold/copper.

Feell free to tell me which color goes better with my car

heey cool! you found your nardi!!

nice parts you got there!

[nmwisima]

Yeap, and its here and it looks great

Most important is that i found the Minilite style rims, eventhough they aint go no deep dish...

[banpei]

Great stuff!
About the color: definetly gold.

[nmwisima]

If gold, then it shouldnt be very bright, but something between bronze and gold.

[Apolan]

Yo Achilleas, rice stuff looks good Its a real shame those rims dont have a bigger dish.. they would give your girly miata a more agressive stance. black has to go sure, and gold/bronze seems to be the obvious choice.. but try playing with photoshop abit, maybe youll come up with a more unsusual but cooler color. however i would prefer a lighter color and try to keep the saturation low..

[Apolan]

i've just thought of a really kool color scheeme:

paint the center of the rims in something like:

001 White Spica

or

041 Ivory

so basically white with a yellowish/beigeish hue with a polished lip.. that would look fresh on your dark green miata. gold is to obvious and boring

gunmetal looks cool
