Alex1647545498 Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I guess they'd be ok for autocross or winter use though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perduejt Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 +1 for stock rims...look-a-likes just aren't the same as the real deal. If you want BBS rims, get BBS rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 the wheels are mostly going to be autocross only and they will be getting painted once i get the time to clean them first. the headlights are only like that to get more airflow and more air into the bay. that is pretty much just for now im working on my turnsignal intakes and NACA headlight duct. thanks for the feedback tho haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berto Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 if you want more air to the engine, b/c im suure a stock miata needs more air.... get a headlight cover like mine and actually cut metal out. i'm not sure how miatas are designed but the "lazy eye" mod doesn't do shit. there is other stuff in the way behind the healight.

verse Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Originally posted by Car Enthusiast: you feel bad for someone when you are driving a corolla????? LOL you obviously have no idea what an AE86 is, nor the demand and respect for them. He is simply stating the well known fact that DSM's are not reliable. Yes they can be fast, but something is always broken on a DSM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
