  • Yes sir! It's been far overdue. I'm kind of going back and forth between an 8.5" or 8" for the front with a 165/45, though. They just don't make the 8s in exactly as low of an offset as I'd like, but I'm not sure how that stretch would look with an 8.5. There's couple of pics on tyrestretch, but that only goes so far. Haha

    Oh! And the car RUNS (normally)!!! Finally. That was really annoying and stressful to deal with. It turns out that it's something in the ECU, so I put the original on it (which is when it ran like a champ) until I can send the other ECU out to Hondata to get fixed up.

    And for a bit more info to add to my usual wall of text, the hardtop is making progress. I picked up the glass and some more hardware for it, and last night at around 2:00 a.m., I had the urge to buy a meaner ring and pinion gear for the ol' Miata. So...I've got a 4.44 setup on the way. Don't fret, however, as this will not delay the wheels. I'm still looking at late Nov/early Dec to order!

              • Stunning.

                IMO the perfect example of how an EG should look.

                Hats off to you sir!

                  Up front, I can lay the fenders on the lips of the wheels, but the rear is pretty much maxxed out. The passenger side can go a bit lower, though, for some reason. Long story short, they go low. Haha

                  Yep, running strong! Just not quite as quick as with the other ECU.
                  The silver NB2? I saw that as I was leaving. Not stock tires! Haha It was definitely headed in the right direction. Just needed help in the tire size/XXR department.

                  I agree 100%! I'm ordering them this winter. But I'm only using one, because the single mirror setup is super gangster. But seriously.

                      And wait...you're saying that a 185/55-15 came from a 16" wheel?
