That sticker on the bar is driving me nuts.

Does the bar interfere with the top at all?

OutToWinPAHC · 08-29-2009, 09:17 PM

I thought it was a higher offset version? Those look tits. Oh and take the roll bar out, get it powder coated super chrome or color matched please.

Nah clears the top fine.

No, no super chrome or colormatch. Not taking it out, will be a huge PITA

As far as the ABS wires, I'm not fixing them. Abs used to kick in over potholes, bumps, and divets, no more. Car feels nicer to drive with it off and actually feels like it stops better too.

Those CCWs on the blue NA miata are for sale btw.

CleanNeon98 · 08-31-2009, 10:52 AM

What I may do is hold out on mods for the time being. I let my friend drive the car (same friend who had a 97 STO back in the day and got me into Miatas, now has an 08 Elise) and he is a better driver than I am and got a lot more out of the car than I did so I may spend the money on HPDE events and/or Auto-X instead and improve as a driver because the car has a lot more in it than I can push and there's no point putting more into the car if I can't make the most of what I have now.

sick bar d00d

CleanNeon98 · 09-01-2009, 10:50 PM

Conclusion seems to be to get more seat time before further modifying the car so an SCCA membership and lots of auto-x events will be my next move.

Alex, If I do get hard what will you do? Rumor says you might be able to help.

CleanNeon98 · 09-02-2009, 01:07 AM

LOLwut????

CleanNeon98 · 09-03-2009, 12:30 AM

Had OMGJacki's dad at NE Exhaust in Levittown/Bristol put my stock resonator. Car sounds much nicer, no more loud, no more rasp, just nice and toned, pretty much like this car.

Skip to 1:15 for acceleration and fly-by, followed by parking lot drifts.

Haines and 13. Coming from 95 I get on 13, off at haines, cross 13, and make the 1st right. There's a directory thing out front that has them listed, far back building.

why do you keep calling your roll bar a cage?

I've been calling it a bar since before I got it, everyone else says cage, it's easier to say boosted and caged than boosted and barred but ok.

Found this beauty on mazda-speed.com

Fully built engine, upgraded turbo kit, tuning, monoflex coils, rollbar, 15x9 ULs, NT01 tires, Autokonexion trunk with APR wing, braces, brake/intake ducting, seats, harnesses, etc.etc. this car has it all and gets raced on a regular basis

Action!
