I havent seen much of anyone around since I moved to Hickory. But in the last week I have seen a couple MX5s running around, and even three other MS3s on HWY 70. So, lets get some people interested and I will set up a meet. I would love to do a Sonic Drive In night meet. Its warm out so some ice...

So I am getting close to my 30k mile marker on the MS3. So I am thinking with all the abuse the car has taken by my shinanigans, its getting close to a clutch change. Now I am covered I know. So all I have to do is go burn it a bit and take it to the stealership and have then replace it for...

Hey everyone, I recently went on a road trip and for some reason my exhaust is boucing all around now. I got under the car today but didnt see anything wrong. Everything is bolted correctly, and it just wacks into the undercarriage on the slightest bump. Its so weird. I am gonna look again...

So I installed HIDs. But they had plastic tabs instead of metal tabs to hold them in place. The roads got really rough during the ice storm and the tabs snapped. SO, now the bulb has fallen out of its socket and burned throught the plastic securing plate. Tell me if you think this is the right...

So I am dying to get some wider wheels and I want them before next AutoX season. So i am willing to compromise away from Enkies and Rays. I am looking at some Rota P-45R 17x9+30 wrapped in some Nitto NT05 wheels 255/40ZR17s. My question is, Has anyone autocrossed on Rotas before? Will they fold...

So I got the Racing Hart wheels refurbished and painted. They look amazing. I also dropped some money on some Sumitomo HTR Z III tires for them. BUt they are too low of an offset to fit on the car properly. So I either need wheel spacers. Or I need to sell them. They are pretty much useless to...
