Haha, I'll send you an invoice shortly..
Been out of town for a few days and had office work piling up, working as fast as humanly possible to get back to everyone's emails and messages.

On a separate note, this was posted on another forum, but I don't think Andrew would mind if I quoted this here -
Thanks man, this means a lot coming from you

 

Emilio, just noticed the spring rates supplied with ND XIDAs. Wondering why they are so much less than NA/NB? Is it just a matter of where the spring is relative the fulcrum in the ND suspension (i.e., rate at the wheel ends up similar)? Or is there something else fundamental going on?

 

Entirely different suspension but yes the motion ratios are different.

 

Not a huge fan of the red powder coat, but it is striking for sure.

Great setup, such a clean installation. Beautiful work.

I think my ND has the worst wind noise out of all my miatas so far. I really liked my hardtop-only NC, so I might be tempted to go with Moti's GT3 bar and that new Goodwin top...

 

The OVTune guy is promising flex fuel by the end of the weekend on a thread on mnet.

 

 

I know it is only 4 psi and on a stock exhaust but... apparently just opening up the exhaust with the GWR long-tube on these engines makes the same power as a turbo

 

okay? so open up the exhaust on the turbo setup and guess what happens...

 

Transmission goes boom.

 

I fully realize that is the absolute worst the system will ever perform. I am saying it is impressive that the Skyactiv can basically match a choked-off turbo kit for power with just an exhaust. As in, the miata finally has a well-engineered engine.

 

I can just see the m.net discussions about this now

 

In the last few days I've taken a number of orders for roll bars powder coated in our Pearl Gunmetal Gray, all for the same exact reason, ^ this color finish on the new 6ULs
I've only seen it in photos, but it looks like a VERY close match to the third bar -

 

I finally got to sit in a 124 today.
I don't know if the seats are different than the NDs, but I was almost at eye level of the top of windshield frame.
Overall, I really like it, but it could do with some less Chryslery wheels.
No two-tone goofyness on this one either, which was nice.

 

Why on earth would a manufacturer paint such a beautiful car in such an awful color?


**** it. God is dead. Nuke everything.

 

Uh, Joe, pretty sure that's black.

 

Yeah, it's black.
I'm down with nuking everything though.

 

black isnt even a color!

 

thats racist.
