The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[princess peach]

alright people,

I've decided to stick to a compromise between paying off my s*** and keep moving through HPDE so my ENKEIs are up for sale, should any of you want them let me know. I'll post them on the for sale section by the end of the week if nobody is interested.

ENKEI RPF-1, 17x8 +35mm offset - silver
Continental Extreme Contact DR, 225/45/17 (From the Continental Challenge Series, used by Sahlen's last year) - tires have more than 50% thread left
one of the stem valves is not right so it leaks a bit, I've had to put air back in that tire twice in a track day (lost 3 lbs)

looking for $800 - yes it's more than what I paid for them BUT these tires are in great shape! If you don't want the tires you can sell them for at least $300

I wish those were Miata wheels

they'll fit an NC...

 

[WillD]

Hmm...Is that enough of a reason to buy an NC?

No. No. No

 

[WillD]

Haha I'm just kidding. Although I've thought seriously about trading my MS3 in for an NC as a daily driver before.

I thought about it, that's why I checked to make sure they would fit

I almost traded my DD 3 in on an MSM. Probably would have if the price would have been more reasonable.

 

[THE Phen]

No. No. No

What, pray tell, is wrong with an NC?

 

[darkcambria]

Nothing really. Just letting my own lust for a NB cloud my judgement.

 

[THE Phen]

Haha. Several NC owners that I know will swear that it's a better driving platform, and is much more livable than the NB's.

 

[darkcambria]

On a good note, ordered tires from Tire Rack yesterday at 3pm. They just arrived. I can't complain about that.

 

[thejeans]

not to mention just as fast as an msm

msm- 0-60 in 6.4 and NC 0-60 in 6.5 when both are stock haha

 

[THE Phen]

Yeah... there is that aspect too. Damn things are lighter than an MSM.

 

[thejeans]

if i could afford an NC miata id rock one... but money is going towards other things right now so not much money for another car haha

Just make sure you have a DOT approved skull, and you'll have no issues.

I would just pretend I'm autocrossing and wear my helmet everywhere I go. Slap my magnetic numbers on her and good to go. Makes it look faster too!

GRRRRR!!! I would totally jump on these, but I have to pay for school instead

Too bad you weren't selling these a month ago when I got my new wheels! O well...Good luck with the sale

Lol!!!

Indeed. And if the rumors of the next miata being even lighter that bodes well. I gotta be honest though, I don't like how the NCs look as much. It's petty but I've only ever seen a few that I liked and those were modified. I'm interested to see how they evolve the style for the next one.

 

[PrinceValorum]

I forget who owns it, but easily the best NC I've seen is the red one with the flat black wheels and PRHT with the yellow accents. He was at The Mitty and drove from Canada, but can't for the life of me remember his name.
