ROFL I was about to comment on that street name too.
Nope, not I or my bro or my buddy who also has a ton of miata's.
Don't think I even know who that is.

*EDIT: actually it is my buddy. lol.
I'll ask him right now

 

If that's a factory aluminum hood then I will absolutely find a way to make this work.

 

Probably not all of them at the same time. The Subaru ones were ultracheap so I ordered them to see what's up, they are smaller than I thought they would be.

I considered putting them in the fenders and using them to pull air out from under the hood, kinda like how the british roadster guys do it:





Obviously not my pics but they get the point across. My concern is that while they would probably be functional, they would also require me to cut up my fenders AND engine compartment sheet metal, and they might look a little too 'rice' for me. Hood I can deal with swapping out, fenders are not something I want to tackle regularly.

 

Just asked him: says its' OEM and it's super clean.

 

Its exactly what I've been looking for but problem is I'm absolutely not free this weekend. Wanna play middleman? I was serious about sending money.

 

that's fine

you know I gotchu, boo

 

I'm using the Subaru vents in my hood. They definitely made a difference.

I did a bit of a hackjob putting them in but they are good. I ended up leaving the screens out of them for better flow. I haven't had the problem with leaves I thought I would.







Note the peeling clearcoat is merely camouflage hiding how awesome the car really is.

 

Woo! I am excite!

Shoot me PM, email, text, smoke signal, whatever and we can get it all arranged. I can paypal you now if that's more convenient or bring cash when I come git it. Completely up to you, whatever makes your life easier.

 

That's what I love about this place!

 

Since you are ignoring me on the Facebook I'm going to publicly shame you into coming to thunderhill September 9th and 10th. Vlad. Don't give G that hood until he has signed up.

 

Aww, wuuut?

Lol, I have no facebook notifications turned on and I check it like MAYBE once every could weeks. I'm sure its lost in the giant swath of other notifications I regularly ignore.

 

Well i have your attention now. So what do you say? 2 days with NCRC?

 

Replied, will detail on FB

 

The hood was a bust, but mad props (not that he needs them) to @18psi for hooking a brother up and going to check it out. I cannot thank you enough kind sir

 

haha yeah I had a feeling.

99.9% of the bro'z on CL list everything in "MINT" condition, then when you drive 25 miles to their place and waste an hour of your time, they casually mention the "MINOR INPERFECTIONS, HARDLY NOTICEABLE". What that actually means is: a corner of the hood is missing, there is a crack/hole in the actual metal right next to the latch, and the driver side is buckled from it being in a front end impact.

I'm so very glad you didn't make the drive all the way out here for that junk. He was dead set on the price too, even after I pointed out that it's seriously damaged.

 

Srs, I owe you lunch. Or many beers. Or both.

 

We need to set some meet up when I get back to Sac.

Early November...

 

Make it late September and come to miatas@mrls

 

If I finish my car by then, sure! I'll have the slowest NB there lol 3000 pounds with driver

 

You will be faster than the 90 year old wine and cheesers
