PTuning, where else?

Damn, this is gonna be legit. You're still going to get teh J-Lines eventually correct?

Correct sir. The cheap-o XXR's are just temp wheels to get the car sitting pretty while I tie up some other odds and ends (roll bar, under hood goodies and beefier brakes), and once I do that i'll begin saving for the custom J-Line's. Eventually I will be getting some green chrome J-Line 6SL2's measuring 16"x8" +0 in the front and 16"x9" +13 in the rear.

Stay tuned for complete pics later this weekend!

how much did ptuning charge a tire? i didnt even know they mounted tires.

[OSSHWA]

I believe I paid $120 for all for mounted and balanced.

Cool Miata dude looks great
keep up the good work

Ok, so here's a few snaps of how it sits currently. I wasn't able to install the extended studs and spacers because it turns out that the knurl diamaters on the wheels studs are different on the front and back, and thus I need to order some new front studs through ARP (the rear studs provided with my Ichiba spacers are the correct size so I just have to re-order the fronts). So once I get the new studs i'm going to throw the spacers on and bring it up .25"-.5" or so. Right now it bottoms out on even the slightest bump/divet on the highway, so i'd much rather roll flush than how it is now tucking with the frame an inch from the ground.

yummy, looks great

man oh man .. real gangsta!!

[OSSHWA]

Thanks.

Here's how low the undercarriage currently sits. About an inch or less at it's lowest point. Sure it looks cool, but it's taken alot of the "fun" out of the car, so when I mount the 20mm spacers i'm bringing it up a half inch or so. It'll still be slammed, but it will be alot more flush and i'll have enough ground clearance to do aggressive driving once again.



I'm also ordering a Proper+ shift knob and an Enthuza XR lightweight exhaust this Friday

Thanks man! I don't know about all that......there's much nicer Miatas IMO over on ClubRoadster.net. Mines slowly but surely coming along. It'll be sitting flush here verrrrry shortly and then an exhaust and a roll bar is soon to follow so stay tuned!

Hopefully ordering those or 522's in the next month or so. That gives me a reference to what 521's look like on an NB. noice work
