I used the green conector at first but I am changing it to use the black conector. I am going to get a miata temp gauge sensor and put it in my toyota cooling system somewhere and run a wire to the factory connector.

Is there a specific name for the temp sensor I need to run the gauge so I don't go buy the wrong one? Also is one of the sensors single wire and the other two wire or are the both the same.

Ok I think I have all my wiring straight but the car is going to slow down for a little while because they have asked me to work 7 days a week for the next 2 months. This is good and bad. Bad news is I won't have lots of time to work on the car. Good news is the extra $700 a paycheck gives me the money to buy some wheels. I need your guys opinion on this set of wheel I really like them but I am going to try and fit them without flares is it possible. I do not mind streatching a tire a little bit but not a whole lot. They are 15X8 0 Offset in the back and 15X7 15 offset in the front do you think I can get them to fit with a fender roll and a minor pull. Here is the link to the wheels.

I was kinda thinking the same thing weight is not going to hurt me I will most likely end up putting 150# or so of lead in the back anyway. Question is more can I make them fit with out flares with a minor pull and roll.

If I get some flares I will run 15X8 all the way around. I really like the way staggared wheels look and I do not see my self getting any great leaps in traction with a half inch of tire I could gain with a +35 offset. I am thinking more along the lines of they look good and get a decent size tire on them.
Leatherface24 - I plan on keep the car for a long time and I also see myself changing it alot along the way. I do plan to beat on it a little but for the most part it will be a street car so I do not see the beatings being that bad but I could be wrong.

Yea I am trying to to get as wide a stance as I possibly can. I want to run a low offset my car is low and I plan on keeping it that way I have always wanted the stance to be wider and would like to do it without flares but I see myself needing them.

You are the man I am pretty sure I am going to need to borrow it in a few weeks this is the look I am going for give or take a little. I think I am going to go with 15 or 16X8 0 offset in the rear and 15 or 16X7 + 10 or +15 in the front.
These are 16X8 0 offset all the way around with 205/40R16 I no this is a NB but you get the idea.
I am positive I can get a 15X8 0 offset on the back of an NA I just need to make the car belive I can. With a fender roller and some effort they will look nasty.

I think I just answered my own question here is a set of 15X8 0 offset on a NA all the way around with a fender roll and light pull I know what wheels I am going to buy.
