that is what I was leaning towards at first....cause we all know in shows an important factor is wheels, and the miata has a excellent stance with aggressive wheels.

I dunno where everybody else is...


but I'm at the Anime Expo in downtown. It's day 3 of 4.

I will be hitting Trader Vic's at 1:00 with my sorority sister Mary, then the pool at the hotel.

BTW the pool is rockstar, reminds me of a vegas setup

and you know me Mike I dont track cars...I am not a very experienced driver...and I dont really have the time or tire resources to track....I cant handle that kinda maintenence.
Don't by a miata, spend the money tracking your car/further modding the 8!

That's what I plan on doing at least

edit:

Just read this, nevermind that earlier idea :P

dont care so much about power as to how good it looks...mostly because you never really get to experience the power on the streets...and I am not going to fund a habit like tracking

I was playing Ys and I noticed that there's a place called Tigray Quarry and it made me imagine a quarry full of TiGray RX-8's. (This is the seventh installment of the Ys series called The Oath in Felghana if you guys are wondering which one I'm playing and no, it is not available in America. /nerd)

I say don't get the autokonexion kit! The kit hangs too low and juts out quite a bit so you can't really considerably lower the car.

Show car is going to have to be pretty extreme to make it work, honestly more expensive than tracking your car. Regardless, if you want to do it start with some expensive wheels and a wicked drop and go from there.

I am planning on some SSr SP1-R's since they make em small....I was also looking at how much gap is left so I was thinking I could go like 16" or something
