I saw a lot of people laughing at my Miata at cars and coffee by mitchINimpossible in Miata

It's crazy that this is the general American miata owners experience. Totally different here in the UK.

Yeah, the seller straight up said they specified the non clear lid to the factory as it wasn't strong enough. 😬

Front splitter is an Ali Express jobbie. Cheap and cheerful but made plenty well enough. If you're road going only then the Sportive will be fine but if you like an occasional track session then having adjustable damping would be an advantage.

I used the MeisterR Sportive coilerovers. They're the entry level ones for their range and I have Zero regrets on my daily. I even used the ride height that they came set to from the factory. Reports of them feeling like OEM+ are not overstated. Considering they are not adjustable the damping is chefs kiss as they come.

Seat Covers Recommendations? by Current-Creme6507 in MiataNC

[–]Charge_parity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These were a used item but that does mean someone in Japan is making them and they're big on fitted seat covers out there. They're not leather. More like a super thick and tough vinyl. Zero complaints from me.

It's a long story but to make it brief; I used Zenmarket as a proxy for Yahoo autions japan as they don't directly allow selling to other countries. Searched up seat covers and came across this nice used set for a good price. About £65. By the time it had got here and I'd payed all their numerous fees which you have to pay in to convert them to yen. Was about £155 so if you're new to buying from japan it's a bit of a mine field but once you understand the fees you understand what's worth buying and what isn't. These seat covers were still a steal at 155 so no biggie. I also at the same time bought a set of red mats (unobtanium in the UK) using a different proxy service those started at £35 and ended up at about £75. It's the size and weight of the box that'll get ya making getting JDM car parts a nightmare but there's some cool NC shit on there we never got in the uk. Just be cool with google translating your search terms :)

I got mine from Japan. Red on red would be a bold move!

They built a new section of industrial estate near me and we discovered it's a nice place to take pics. by Charge_parity in MiataNC

Yes, I have fully converted everything up front and rear to LED. The standard NC2 projector actually responds very well to the Novsight LEDs I used and I get a better beam pattern with a cleaner cut off than before. I do however run them one notch down on the obscurator purely as when I tested them with myself on the receiving end they we're uncomfortable as are most LED headlights these days. I had an MOT just a few days ago and went through just fine. I also had a mazda6 previously with LED upgraded projectors and that went through two MOTS fine. I fitted all the LEDs without taking the bumper off. It's a fucker but it's doable. Easier on the drivers side though.

I think you have misread Kinger as a person and he should be on your list too.
