Italia vs. LE

Would you replace an LE with a turbo, for a silver w/red interior Italia miata? It looks a lot like this one.

Sure why not!

I like it!

Can you add a turbo to the Italia?

Were you offered a trade?

I would, but I like Italias. How many LEs are still around? 1250 or so, maybe? How many silver/red Italias? 2? You can always turbo the Italia later.

I'll take it. I like it. Doesn't the nose (the overhang) just a little long?

Having seen an Italia in person....hell no.

ugly

Not a fan. Stick with what ya got.

I would rather do something like what mk2tmr2 did to his NA than go with the Italia, although the Italia is not terrible.

Just put a Pitcrew nose and Garage Vary tails on your LE. Possibly some small flares to compliment it. It'll give you a similar nostalgic effect with much better proportions and a whole lot less fugly.

Ignore the insane wheel fitment:

^^^What he said.

That being said, I've always liked Dwight's car. If it was a straight up trade, I'd consider it. Does he want Checker instead? lol

You would regret that, and your dad would disown you. ;)

And I like X-wangs Itallia

Dad seems okay with it. I just know the car is available, haven't talked amounts or anything.

Isn't time for a change heck you have had the LE for forever. ;-)

I'm not a fan of the Italia... it's trying too hard and looks a little off. If you're looking for a change, just accessorize a little. IMO it's hard to beat the looks of a nice, clean NA.

Since 9/99......I know it very well.

Dwight is thinking about selling the Itallia? Love that car.

No, you'll get a bunch of people asking you questions about if you are driving a kit car. Don't ask me how I know...

I prefer the NB pitcrew,

The headlight placemnet reminds me more of the Cobras/MGBs, and the hood flows better IMO. The NA pitcrew gives off more of a VW vibe, and seams to low. I'd take either tho.

PitCrew = $$$$$$$ which is why I don't have one. Can you even get a new one anymore?

I don't know, the company still exists...and if I could read japanese I'd contact them, but all of the US distributers seam to have stopped carrying the conversions. If I could get my hands on one I would do it in a heartbeat; three grand isn't that expensive for all that you get.
