yeah 15's will be top of the list. was only looking at those 16x7's because it's a crazy good price for forged rims (those are in the same ballpark weightwise as TE37's as far as i can tell)

Doesn't rub. I have +41 with 7 inch rims and it's fine. I'm assuming the wheel will be approx the same with a lower profile tyre

ive got 16x7 et35 on my NA, i reckon they could use 5mm less and make them et30.

Pairs are going to be my new addiction, those Equip 02s can be had for under 200nz shipped from Rod @_@, maybe less if you are willing to wait for Alex's next container!

Great price for the milage. Even if the car needs work I'd say it's worth checking out. If I didn't just buy an NA I might be calling, lol.

Cheers,

Not an auction but still: http://www.flyinmiata.com/groupbuy/index.php

$30 off FM butterfly brace = ~$285NZD.

Wonder if there were enough NZ people keen if we could get a good deal on shipping a bunch together together. Or maybe get them sent on a container from the US like a NZ parts places offer...

Unless you already have a set of frame rails, you'll need the full brace package which is USD $399 - $30 + shipping

Hmm, never seen this colour '5 before and usually I'd just say it's been resprayed....but then all the factory spec stickers seem to be in place? (i.e. in the door jam, under the bonnet etc?)

sorry timmo but the auction had expired...
what colour was it?

Timmo · Post by **Timmo** » Tue Feb 18, 2014 10:11 pm

Im sure it will be back-it was a vivid purple colour?

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Tue Feb 18, 2014 10:30 pm

definitely sounds like a custom repaint. from what I have seen of the various colours MX5's were available in OEM, I am pretty sure purple or shade thereof where not a factory option.

Here you go...

Not my choice of colour personally, I feel gender challenged enough in a red one.

Furai · Post by **Furai** » Wed Feb 19, 2014 8:14 am

To my understanding there is 2 purples, one only released in Japan which was a proper purple and the other more a red colour but Ill try find more info on it

it is factory painted it is what they call a test colour ,they normaly paint about 10 cars to see what the intrest is in it and if it is high enough they put it into production. problem with these cars is that the paint code is usually something like xxxx so getting the colour wright is a pain .they are JDM only

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Wed Feb 19, 2014 8:34 am

Thanks for the pic and info guys! interesting stuff

I could not have summed it up better myself....

I guess it's like the coupes/other variations that came through in very small numbers? The more I look at the coupe, the more they grow on me

I saw the white one with red stripes and its size reminded me of this shortened mini..... I acknowledge that its not a Trademe find mearly a thread interruption reffering to the comment of cars not being small enough

This isn't necessarily any of the specified finds, but I thought it was seriously cool.
Hand built dress up bits, made to last, for NA's and NB's. All very retro and the attention to detail is stunning.

I think it's fucking cool.

yeah he does great work, he's one of the vendors on the mx5nutz forum

I plan on getting some custom gauge faces done with a black base and red text using an Asian style font.

Fooesboy has a set of his gauges in his roadster and they look great!

Its all good mate, it's just another cool mod you could consider later on down the track for your roadster.

It will be a fair way off before I look at doing this as I still have something else to pay for first and then I still have a few other bits I need to acquire first but I am now looking at getting a lot of upgrade bits and doing it all in one big hit due to certification requirements.

For the price rev limiter charges, his custom gauge faces seem like a reasonably priced deal.
