That would be Max's car... I met him when I got my first Miata.

It's been fun to watch his car get slow and "diseased" while my Miata gets around the track faster and faster every time we meet.

Concealer, if I end up buying the 99 SE near me, then I will have an 01 SE and the 99 SE. I will immediately post a thread titled "Gross Two" and join you for the Mnet whinefest when I decide which car to turn into a track ***** and ruin its specialness, lol.

I'd have to change my thread title over on M.net haha.

Anyways, i drove to and from sunny Chicago yesterday in their blizzard. **** was kindof fun.

Felt bad for the dude that bought my old turbo Miata, as he apparently drove it across town on bald T1Rs... with no top. In a blizzard.

Anyways, picked up the last parts from the turbo car.

My old Corbeau A4s (will probably sell to get some Sparco Sprints)
Boss Frog harness bar
Autopower 5pt cam-lock
Momo Competition wheel and Momo hub
And Frankenstein bolts!

Fun question: What wattage is the stock headlight harness expecting, and can it take a 100w bulb without going up in flames?

I'm gonna say no, but I'm not sure. I did a HID retrofit when I got my car (also '00 SE), and actually installed the correct projectors inside the housing.

Poop. That sounds like money.

I did a harness/relay upgrade on the red Cherokee and installed some 100w bulbs in some E-codes and **** is rad.

The MSM was good because... NB2 headlights.
The 95 was fine because e-codes and decent bulbs.

NB1 lighting? Limp boner.

I need to decide if i want to figure out the fog lights or just remove for ducting.
