Well heres another neat idea I had....not for the car, but car related non the less. My buddy at work had our paint department powder coat some pistons for trophies he's making for his schools car club...I snagged one of the rejects figuring it'd make a good hook for hanging cords and **** on in the garage....not bad eh?

I work with Long Reach fork lift attachments, do you use anything like that or Cascade's products for moving those rolls of sheet metal around? Nice looking shop you have there, lots of inventory though, hope you get to use it all!
Oh and my opinion is that a piston powder coated silver or anything reflective would look much nicer for a trophy, and that's coming from someone that has an all black bike!

I would have liked silver, but we're limited on color choices so he did'nt have much to choose from (just the basics, red, blue, black, tan, white)....pickers can't be choosers, lol!

If you started making these along wit the other panels, I would buy a set for both of my Miatas immediately. Damn that would be awesome.

I just got mine in yesterday. They arent THAT expensive. its $200 from go-miata and it has kept my water temps 15* cooler and the car is alittle more stable. They delivered it surprisingly fast too. Just as my own opinion, its well worth it

Yeah I'm from Meriden. I would go to the show, but trying to get a friend of a friend of a friend who is supposed to be a MS guru out to check on the tune to make sure its legit before I go romping on it. I'm new to this turbo deal, so don't know much about it yet, although I am very mechanically inclined. Also, the car isn't registered yet since I just bought it from MXV in South Carolina, had to finish the exhaust and was hoping to get a "lean" tune for emissions....anyone know if they still do inspections in CT besides just the vin verification / emissions....like checkin headlights/wipers/blinkers/ etc. If they do, it'll be a while before I'm on the road.
Ya, definitly made extras, figured I might share the wealth lol!

Being a bit of a perfectionist, I think I'm going to remake the radiator cover (Then the air dam and headlight scoop)....figured if I was redoing it, might as well do one plain and then try one with some miataturbo.net lovin....what design do you guys like the most??

******* sick dude! I like the second one best personally. The projectors are gonna look sick too man. Really awesome stuff your working on. Hopefully if you do end up making some extra pieces, your down to make a under cover for a local.
