    Default Another new member here!

    Hi all just bought a 2002 Midnight blue Miata a few weeks ago for my daily driver. I am really happy with it. It is a lot of fun to drive. I am an old Corvette guy. I have a 1993 Corvette ZR-1 that is my weekend toy. However, I am really having a lot of fun driving this Miata everyday. It has a lot of pep for a 4 banger and handles the corners like its on rails. I am very impressed with it. My wife and daughter love it also, and take every chance they get. Its almost like having a new puppy in the family.

    It already has the Chrome Style hoop bar installed, otherwise its all stock.
    I just bought some 17" wheels to replace the 15" stockers, so those will be going on in a couple of weeks. I have no other plans for it, except I would like to put a dual black or silver strip down the middle of it. But I still haven’t made up my mind yet.

    Later,
    Mike

    Nice to have you here...... Welcome to the madness.

    Pretty soon, you and your whole family will be autocrossing with us... So keep your original tires and wheels for a while.

    IMO - The silver will look best.

    Hey Neighbor!

    Welcome to the insanity - I see you already caught the mod bug.

    I'm next door in Lewisville - you can get stripes in Carrollton at www.protapesigns.com

    I'm dropping my car off Thursday to get some Gunmetal Metallic stripes. I'll let ya know how it goes and see if I can figure out how to post a pic on this site since I don't have a web page.

    I would like to see the strips your putting on. Let me know for sure how they look, if you can't put up picks, maybe I could come by and see them.

    thanks,
    Mike

    I didn't do the stripes... Larry over at Pro Tape Signs & Graphics did them.

    I got an 8" stripe with a 1" gap and a 1 1/2" stripe on each side going down the middle of the car... Gunmetal Grey Metallic.

    It goes from the bottom of the air dam, over the hood, on the windshield header, across the trunk lid, on the spoiler, and down the back of the car to under the bumper.

    After I picked up the car, I drove over to Track Dog Racing and picked up an Air Splitter (he also threw in an extra Tack Dog Racing sticker!) which I just got done installing.

    DANG! It looks GOOD!

    I'll take some pics and get them up on the board soon under the "Meet our Members" section and on my Cardomain web page.
