nice bruce "spirit of the miata" i like it!

i like it...never ever thought of a nick name for my car...suggestions? little red?

Lol, it would be if I was the only one to get one, a few others did as well.

Never been big on naming my cars, Mary is though eh Jeff? I haven't told her you chose another name.
 
Malaysia and Singapore were two places I wanted to visit but didn't get to. Instead, central Vietnam and South Korea, and several cities in China. Seoul was badass tho.
 
Hi everyone and a BIG HI to Ash! Nice to hear everything is going well over there. You need to check back in more often.

Had to make a quick run to the off-site storage space to pull some drawings for an engineer over lunch. It's all good as I dropped the top before heading over. :)
 
Ordered new rubber today, Dunlop Direzza ZII's. Should be delivered tomorrow.

Can't remember, did you have these before? I'm eying up new wheels/rubber for summer, just trying to determine what I want. Not sure if you have seen them but I keep looking at the Advanti Storms and Konig Dial-Ins that Good-win is now selling. Or do I hold out for a new batch of 6ULs?
 
I had the Star Spec Direzzas before, liked them alot. The Conti's I never liked except when it was raining. Wears well and it is quiet, but the shoulder is too soft.

I like the Advanti's, what width are you looking at? Can't go wrong with 6ul's either.

Just got a call the tires are here!!
 
Ah the Star Specs, ok. I liked the Conti's when I had them on the P5. Shoulder was soft but they did what I wanted them to.

Was looking at 15x7 or 15x8. Need to find out more about what size tire I can run on either as well as ensuring they'll clear the bigger brakes on the 03. I know some 15's will not. Looking at the grey and wish they came in a bronze. Only thing wrong with 6UL's is they are not in stock!
 
Try for 15x8's if you can. I hear you on the 6uls.

Tires are loaded in the rig. Will install them in May when I can get access to a lift and tire changer.

15x8 6UL's fit fine. 225/45-15 is the tire size. If you want to keep tire selection and cost down, 195/50-15 is a common size for 15x7. All depends on what you want to do with it, of course.

I have 15x7" RPF1's and they come sooo close to clearing. A spacer would help that, but the car is going to be gone soon anyway. I've researched a lot of this, and you have my number. Feel free to hit me up any time buddy!
