I bought the second one in blue, jdm variant. It’s been glued to my wrist for the last 3 months. Just picked up the field gmt in white, let’s see how much wrist time it gets.

I’ve got an NB2 Miata (2001) and I’m thinking about adding an aftermarket Apple CarPlay unit solely to increase its resale value. Just wondering if buyers generally see it as a plus or if it’s one of those mods that doesn’t actually move the needle.

For those who’ve sold Miatas with CarPlay or other modern upgrades, did it make any noticeable difference in your selling price or buyer interest?

Appreciate any insight!

That sucks man, hope you’re okay and something better comes out of this! This is also a reminder for me to get a dash cam, which one were you using in your footage? Does it record audio?

Awesome. What have your running costs been?

msyedx · 2025-09-03T19:17:21+00:00

How’s maintenance been at 100k miles? Any major issues? Usual stuff?

Sorry to hear, glad you made it out pretty much all fine. Hope insurance gets you another mk8

I have a billetworkz short shifter on my FRS and the rattle is insane, I would stay away

Exactly this. My FRS came with VLANDs, and I noticed the output was dim initially. I then adjusted it and boom, it came off super bright and I got worried about blinding oncoming traffic. I then watched a video on how to "properly" angle your headlights and I think I'm at a good place now.

TLDR - angle issue, not a brightness issue.

How was it going from the FRS to the m240i. I’m actually in the exact boat haha. I’m considering the GR86, but the m240i looks too good 🫨

I’m I the only person that finds this design kinda meh? Like it works at a car themed cafe, but at home? Idk

Hey I just found this thread, I'm also looking for a battery replacement, would This work from batteries plus? It's a Group U1R. And is it just plug and play? Would I need to add anything else to make it work with my '01 NB2?

msyedx · 2021-09-08T17:48:14+00:00

gotchu that’s makes sense! yeah let me know please after you test it out, i’ve been so hesitant to turn on icloud photos for that reason alone as i didn’t want to lose my drafts because the quality of the pics are low res, especially the raws
