    No, I am not a one post wonder - that was my first post to the Forum and do have a full time job and family.


    Yes, the R stands for Runner - I am sure it is generic enough - same thing as ITBs.

    Low end is strong - lightened OEM FW, stock internals and upgraded exhaust from ZOOM Japan. Top end is heaven.

    Runs with HKS F-Con Pro which means no tuning (expect when I change the internals) and never having to worry about weather or altitude.

    My Miata has been in Road&Ster in Japan and is being covered in Modified Magazine soon (with a bit of luck).

    Here she is:

    yeah i had picked up a set of the slipstreams when they were a relatively new style, and also rolled out of there with a hard dog bar stuffed upside down and behind the seats tied down with nylon rope (wasn't expecting to buy that day but they cut me a deal because a cust had ordered and never picked up). i've always thought your car to be odd looking but beautiful at the same time .

    I guess you could call it a "Ghia-ta". Very cool looking Miata.
