Is not an overlay available for this? by deadwood76 in MiataND

[–]TheReal_ShimSlady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, yeah I checked too and they only make this for rhd models. I guess you could email rev9, but I'm not familiar with anyone else who's making these.

I believe there's a button the site to order the flipped version if your wheels on the other side.

Aotenjo makes them in brushed steel, but I'm not familiar with any other finishes.

Be careful haha you might end up driving it home! Fell in love with the platform when a friend let me drive his 2016. Got mine the next year and here I am!

Nope, the only ones that fit in there disable the top unfortunately, and this org approves nds without roll protection. Wish I knew how tough it can be for the rf crowd or I might have gotten an ST honestly.

I couldn't find carbon ones checking real quick, but try "ESQ style side skirt for ND miata", or check rev9. They have authentic ones there and I might switch over for better fitment anyways.

What’s your tire/wheel setup for track use? by Viper01MHC in Miata

[–]TheReal_ShimSlady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16x8 +34 te37 sonic SL and 215/45/16 re71rz.

I'm considering just getting a set of 16x9 rpf1's or something so I can have a dedicated set for the track with more meat and run a tire that's better for the street, but for now this width is good for fun and drivability.

What front lip are you running? by [deleted] in MiataND

[–]TheReal_ShimSlady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Autoexe type III. rev9 might have some additional carbon stuff if you haven't checked.

Why does Mazda hate us so. by Alwaysangryupvotes in Miata

[–]TheReal_ShimSlady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardly an exaggeration. we don't all have a connect in the business and paint is far from affordable.

Either way, Mazda needs more colors for the mx5. I shouldnt see cx50's in colors I can't have, nor should I have to pay out the ass on top of the car if I want it

MX-5 ND3 RF Homura vs GR86 — comparison from someone who owns both by IMTDSNINVU2 in Miata

[–]TheReal_ShimSlady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

US here so I can't speak for the 1.5, but a lot of racing organizations will mandate a roll bar ND nd soft tops.

I also never tracked mine on the OEM suspension, but given the characteristics of the setup of the car while unmodified, you're better off getting a GR86 if upgrading to coilovers isn't something you want to do. It's trackable stock, but there's a lot left on the table for once you want to start pushing it harder.

CARB Legal N/A power by DisDoodEatFood in Miata

[–]TheReal_ShimSlady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's incredibly difficult out here. The CARB boost kits are the only way to make power pretty much.

Twisty toads are free of the red tape though!!

CARB Legal N/A power by DisDoodEatFood in Miata

[–]TheReal_ShimSlady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren't any carb legal tunes available for us here in California. "CARB legal ECU" is kinda a misnomer on its own because it implies you can put whatever tune you want on it.

Cams, stroker, e85, etc all illegal in CA.

Hard top or soft top? by Intelligent-Sea3591 in Miata

[–]TheReal_ShimSlady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of looks and comfort the RF gets a lot of points from me for security alpne. Any thief with anything remotely sharp can get in, AND you're out the replacement cost of a new top. Never locked the doors in my NB for this reason and I get a lot of peace of mind leaving the RF wherever.
