I finally did it too!!

looks good, i've been debating both the upper and lower spoilers, plus some other stuff, but I think I will have to wait for things to improve a little. I do like your style lip over the other more pronounced ones out there
 
Nice. I like the Laile cut out.

Me too. Kinda classes it up a bit

Looking good Bruce!

Thank you

you must be sick! (not driving it much)

looks great!

Get to drive to Marlboro for work once every 2 weeks but that's rush hour. Did a long haul last weekend to ski with my brother. Good run then. On the way home Sunday, got pulled over twice for speeding. No tickets, just warnings. I think I've used up all my brownie points

Looks Great Bruce. Can't wait to see it in person.

Thanks Luke. Looking forward to seeing you again in the spring.

Lookin' good Bruce! The lip adds a very nice touch. Have you hit the back roads yet to try out that front strut bar?

Hey Jeff, not yet, just put it in last night, and i did have the stock one before.

Hi John, Thanks. I wanted something small and stylish. It was hard to find anything for the PRHT models. There was a canadian version but it was too big. Found this on the Miata Forum from a US supplier.
 
She rolled over 30,000 miles today on the way to work in Marlboro. I figure I'm doing about half to 2/3 les miles than I used to living in MA. Tank lasts about 10 days compared to 5 before.
 
Man I love having a garage. Since winter is over, hopefully, I dropped the suspension and put on the new used wheels and tires I got over the winter. Have not painted them yet, little too cold up here. Will get the MS bodykit back on soon, next few days I hope.

Car goes in Tuesday for an alignment and corner balancing. Will paint the wheels once I get back from a little vacation.

I don't know if you guys remember but last fall I helped my friend sail his boat from MA to Bermuda. Well he is coming home and I am flying to San Juan next Saturday to meet him and sail his boat to Turks and Caicos. Should be a blast. Need some sun. Will be flying back from Turks and Caicos Mar 29.
 
Been a busy day. Got the MS front on and redid the coilver settings. Met some more new neighbours, very nice. Also did some work on a shelf unit for my wife. Her are some quick pics of the car.

The tires are a little noisy but man do they grab. Was having some fun on the exit and entrance ramps.

Will go to the pre-meet tomorrow morning but can't stay for the meet. Back home, finish the shelfs and get the rear MS piece on the car.

Sure looks stealth with the black tims but will be painting them.

bruce, the black wheels look so cool with the red car..very mean looking! car looks great too!
 
Car is looking good Bruce! Are those the SPT's? And what size are you running? There is much more meat there than the stockers.
 
Ok Come on, like what??

well I have to get new tires for starters, then i'm thinking about a set of hella round fogs in the mouth in front of a stainless steel(black)mesh grill, might put in a new stereo, get a rear lower spoiler(factory 'r' model version)already have the front and there is a group buy at rspeed for either version so i might pick up the rear. Also thinking about a spoiler like you have, subtle. Also might be getting a buffing wheel and kit so i can get the swirl marks out. If needed will be replacing the brakes(not sure if slotted rotors or leaving them blank), oh also a front sway bar, but from my research it isn't high on the list. Lastly paint the valve cover, bump the timing and get a header. I think that about does it.

Thanks Jeff. Kumho MX's, 225 50 16's. They came with the rims I bought used. They are a blast.

Nice John. Sounds like a great list. I'm not a fan of slotted rotors. Tried them and for the money I will stick with blanks. I would upgrade the pads if I was tracking the car.
 
Got the car aligned today and corner balanced at Apex. Had a nice chat with Lester.

Car is a blast to drive in the corners. Love exit and entrance ramps. No squeal, car just hangs.
 
I've been doing a lot of research with the list and it seems one can go either way, i found Brembo blanks for about 30.00 a piece where as a decent slotted is around 60.00-70.00. I was looking at either EBC or Hawk HP pads. Tires will either be Falken ze-912 or Yokohama s-drives.
Also will have to price everything out and see about finances, thought about a roll bar so I can do track days, but have read negative comments about whacking ones head, plus i would have to either lower or replace my seats to get a 2" clearance between my head and the top of the bar(at least for scca track days)I don't know how many I would do so I think the bar is quite low on my list, easier to autox
