Neat, very interesting.
So, the 2002 HZ Yellow LS is a Miata?
Stoked for you Ian.

Yes, it's a Miata. HZ is the paint code for the Sunburst Yellow cars made in 1992. Mazda reissued the color in 2002 as an extra cost paint color and renamed it Vivid Yellow. "LS" refers to the trim level of the car.
I'm a big fan of yellow cars in general and especially Miatas and RX7s. I had a Sunburst '92 and now have the Vivid '02. I just refer to them both at HZ Yellow.

It's on stock suspension right now. The 25-year-old shocks have 55K miles on them and could probably do with being replaced. I'm undecided on what to do with it.
These are 245/40R17 RE71Rs, which are tiny bit shorter than stock (225/50R16). The 255/40R17s would have been my first choice (a similarly tiny bit taller than stock), but they're out of stock for a month so I went with the 245s instead.
17x9 6ULs with the +48 offset.
