Thanks. Ya, the way sunlight hits the car makes a huge difference. Like in those shots in post #19 the sun is high overhead so that creates I guess you could say shadows on the lower parts of the car. Good luck with your trip and with your new car. I look forward to seeing some pics.

Mille Migs are 16x7 45mm offset. Tires are Kumho SPT 205/50/16. I'd like to do 17s but New England roads aren't kind to low profile tires.

Here are a couple of shots that show the varying color and color depth of the emerald green mica in sunlight. Also just added the Racing Beat cat-back - looks and sounds sweet. 129,000 miles on my baby and counting.

sexy emerald green mica Pro My 2001 ES has 127,000 miles on it in fact these are my most recent pics. The mica paint is just awesome. The car changes color and look depending on the amount of light and/or sun angle. Mods include Racing Beat springs, Tok blues, Mille Miglia HT3 wheels, Wagner...

very slick vehicle. me likey :-)

Okay everyone here it is...in it's FULL glory. The LAWN you all have waiting to see. Freshly detailed and also a good view of the "stonework". And, NO cars to spoil the view!!! Sorry Vik, your thread has morphed into a gardening discussion ;-)

I think I'll go ahead and post pics of the LAWN. It was just cut the other day and looks fab. I was gonna clay and wax each blade of grass but seems you guys like it enough already (sun).

damn I had to look hard to find pics without my LAWN!!! Anyway here are a few more shots. At least my car is green ;-)

If you can't hear the car you have hearing damage! I was in fact going to remix the audio so RAGE was a little bit louder. That song just goes perfectly with Tyusha and his black P5. I'll TESTIFY to that.

Holy Crap! Glad to hear you came out fine. No doubt it's the morons who drive so SLOW (i.e "safely") that cause these nightmare situations. Proteges are rock solid. Take care dude.

above pic... is with 205/50 rubber

There is no 10mm HR spacer for Mazda :-(. I calculated the thread engagement of our stock bolts if they were to be used with a 5mm spacer and stock wheel. We have about 21 turns of engagement with no spacer. My estimate is that we will have approximateky 7 turns of engagement using a 5mm spacer...

I'm in...weather permitting of course. Llet's hope there's no stupid nor'easter sitting on us that day. (hump)
