I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

I think you should get some aftermarket wheels. Those look better than stock but... considering what stock look like :roll:

I like it.

I haven't heard much about the miata lately. What's been going on with it?

Not a lot, daily driving it mostly.

The top has sprung a huge leak, there's a six-inch gash in the vinyl, I have to keep it taped up from the inside. With any luck I'll get a hardtop for christmas.

So, so far, the Miata has recieved:

Spec Miata suspension
corner weighting
competition alingment
K+N and snorkel duct away from exhaust
timing advance to 14 degrees
turn-signal air ducts
Hard Dog "deuce" rollbar
painted wheels w/ kyokugens
Kenwood headunit and pioneer 6.5" and 4 fosgate 3.5"s in headrests
XM
airhorns
pivot headlamp controller


and has lost:

Interior armrests
all tow/tie down hooks
most of the seat foam
the floormats
spare and jack

::thinks really hard::

I think that's about it. Not a lot to look at but man, the thing is an absolute GO_KART!

I was really, really pleased with the paint. It is actually Rustoleum Metallic " black midnight metallic" IIRC. Thanks!
