Very good looking Miata. Glad you didn't make it look shitty like a lot of folks do.

One thing, though. How'd you buy a 15 year old car new? Later, QD.

I've heard seafoam can be bad for older engines from a lot of people. Something that it clears out tiny little cracks that are filled with deposits and kind of breaks the seal between the pistons and cylinder walls.......idk. Real nice Miata though.

Its looks good for sure but I liked it better white, and it matched your STi.

wow looks really nice. And does that so called lil roll cage really help, or is it just for the look?

lol It was 'new to me' in October ;) My bad.
And yes, the Hard Dog Rollbars are VERY strong in rollovers. The way its mounted, I'm pretty sure you could pick the car up by it.

And thanks for all the compliments. I had the image in my head for a while, and finally had a chance to do it. I know its not going to please everyone, but I like it :)
