You're making me miss my car now...

I feel so jipped that my frog arms never came powdercoated. Can i asked what you paid landed here in NZ ? Wouldn't have a clue. Bought them from Flyin Miata. Hmm. My car hasn't had much love lately but she's got stuff coming. Autokonexion are super slow but the fastback is finally coming! It's the ...

Carbon Miata so it's CAM (Chinese After Market)

Also autokonexion are only making the shell for the foreseeable future due to the massive backlog. I was lucky because I've been in that queue forever

It's got everything I'd want. Abs, vvt, no modifications, tidy, 6 speed and not many owners.

Nooooo don't do the fastback. I just received confirmation that mine is ready and being boxed up at the moment :-P Thought you were getting rid of your car and associated bits and pieces? I am but the car is still getting upgraded by the new "owner" :-P plus all the parts are pretty much there and ...

Nooooo don't do the fastback. I just received confirmation that mine is ready and being boxed up at the moment

Also congrats and come to Tuvalu and make them empty the boat faster since they're so slow!

Wow

doesnt matter what the price is... if they dont do something about the god awful shyte useless colour options (one red 3 whites 3 greys and a mum jeans blah blue) and lack of power (its now being compared to a honda jazz WTF!!!!!!) they wont sell many. mazda have dropped the ball BIG TIME on this r...

Ah yeah, I ignore up north when I think of nz roads (and Christchurch now). Definitely have the right idea to get it all done in one hit

Don't know why people rubbish nz roads. Far better than English ones and certainly better than any third world country I've spent time in (no tongue biting potholes in nz )

Can't add anything of value to the question though...

I'd call it more of a plus pattern on the NA

marcellarius wrote:$29,000 USD for the sports package... that's about $38k NZD.

I'm going to guess Mazda NZ will want $60k ...

Hmmm I'll have to give the nzpost youshop a go then to see if they can forward on one for cheap

Unless you have the tune-ability, power and aggression of a V8 Supercar (they run full spool diffs), like marcellarius said avoid it. Torsens come up from time to time or maybe look at getting an aftermarket clutch pack diff instead. Had no idea what a spool diff was so I did a quick Google and fou...

Hmmm our cars seem suspiciously similar at times Excess number of RPF1s, same mid-pipe, red... Must mean I'm doing something right sometimes...

Interesting to see the -15x8 on a stock car. The wheels I have are 15x8.5-15 and should be pretty much the same. Interesting to see how much it'll change the car...

For one reason or another I had my butterfly brace removed... Didn't notice any change in the way the car handled

I'd have to guess that reducing the preload would allow further suspension travel which should at the very least improve the ride. Once you've done that make sure you get another wheel alignment done though.

949 racing. I think flyin miata have less aggressive specs on their website. Lowering springs would've changed the alignment and I think it's worthwhile spending $60 to get more grip and even tyre wear

Is youpost easy? I've ordered some non-car stuff and got it sent there... I'm guessing they email me how much I owe them to forward it onto NZ and then voila?

the 1800 torsens are the way to go, and then one day you can score a KAAZ or OS Giken 2 way from the States. The OS is default 1.5 way (yep... I may or may not have one...) but you can make it 1 or 2 way. Would recommend though, no shudder unless you stall the car (it makes lots of noise if you do,...

...at Least 500hp LS2... :( Sad face to 500hp or ls? =p What he means is 600hp or nothing (my car is the nothing option)! :lol: With that much power I think your car should have more of this type of look but htat's mainly because they've been showing it on repeat here and it's one of the few englis...

15x8 only came out last year so you'll be extremely hard pressed to find any secondhand Stateside, let alone any 15x8 RPF1s in NZ.

No idea what mine are worth, probably similar price to Ian
