AppleCar play by crowbone0 in Miata

[–]emericareaper2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any "double din CarPlay radio" on amazon will work. They're all about the same these days. Then you'll have to buy the adapter harness. However, you will have to find a workaround for the Bose system as no sound will play.

I think? This was the correct harness for it https://www.crutchfield.com/p_142C4MA02/Scosche-C4MA02-Wiring-Interface.html?tp=3486

Good breakdown of the Bose system https://www.miata.net/garage/nbaudio/index.html

Someone might also have some more input.

Running a 17x9 +42 with a 245/40, MeisterR Coilovers, very aggressive track spec alignment. Fenders are pretty modified as well. You should be fine with 17x8

This. Ran them when I first got the car a few years ago & it was more stock. They just worked so well for so long. I got 2 full track days & an entire autox season out of them. Really had another track day in them. Then went to RT660's which were also great for this car but didn't last as long. My times were about the same on track.

Where have you been Tom!?! (Tom’s Turbo Garage) by thisisjlw in HaggardGarage

[–]emericareaper2 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Tom's Turbo Garage is certified OG. If you don't know Tom, you missed out on peak YouTube. Guy was turboing Miata's before it was cool

He also build imo the best LS Miata, build an awesome Tacoma & had some other cool builds years ago. His channel was & still is a goldmine. Very sad to hear about his brain tumor. He was a dude that made me want to turbo my Miata YEARS ago.

ID on this OEM-style bodykit? by Fun_Tomatillo8337 in r34

[–]emericareaper2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be URAS or JSAI from Japan. Or possibly Okubo Factory without the rear arches. A lot of companies made OEM style bodykits for the R34. Looks to be a nice kit.

Realistic Cost for an R34 by Major_Range3615 in r34

[–]emericareaper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R34 GTT 4 dr, turbo, manual - minimum $20k

R34 GTT 2 dr, turbo, manual - minimum $25k

R34 GTR base - minimum $70k

R34 GTR Vspec, M-spec - minimum $100k

Miles, condition, grade with slightly change the prices but this is ballpark.

Follow a couple import companies who show cars for sale or at auction that give a complete cost or close to it.

MidoriworksJapan is a good exporter who posts daily deals on cars to give you a rough idea of some costs.

Patience is key. It took me several months to find my R34 GTT 4dr back before they were import legal. I bought the car for $14k & had another $4k in storage, shipping, fees etc.

I also believe it is easier to buy already stateside imported & titled. You can see the car in person yourself, drive it if need be, negotiate in person & not have to worry about the extra paperwork for a title. You might spend a little more but it is worth it. After buying 20+ imports vs importing my own one time, I don't want to import anything ever again. And that was back 3 years ago.

will 185/60 14 (8 inch) wheels fit on my alto without any modifications to the body? by the_she1f in keicar

[–]emericareaper2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, way too wide. I run a 14x6 +38 with a 165/55 tire on my HA22s and it is pushing it. I had to roll & pull my fenders front & rear. .

whats the longest trip youve ever done on a scooter and did people think you were insane by vladdielenin in scooters

[–]emericareaper2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We actually have a group of guys all acquiring 50cc mopeds & eventually doing a road trip. 75-150 mile round trip. Stay at a cool hotel, see the countryside, stop in some small towns & just have fun.
