This sort of flare up is usually a sign of stress and the person usually doesn't even know they are suffering from it. So don't take it to heart Chris.
Bahahahah. Thanks for your concern. You're obviously still precious about me disagreeing with your rant about businesses trying to make a dollar. Good to see your English skills have come along nicely.
And I'm absolutely thilled to see you are still Mr Prefect. But do remember their is still hope out their.
I didn't make a mistake. I gave you a observation test and you JUST passed.

The fact is, your rebuttal makes no sense and has no reference to anything else that was said. You should've just called me nasty names... It would've been more effective than your fail hard attempt at a comeback.

I have spent the last few days polishing the car and giving it a general clean up.
I also managed to fit the CarbonMiata rainrails and vented headlight cover. I'm reasonably happy with the result.
Now I am realizing that some nice side skirts would complete the look.....
does any one have any suggestions for some that would suit a 1990 NA6?

Er, that was me, you have a silver one with a white hardtop. I wouldn't call mine sweet looking, it's covered in dust, cause I am on tank water, so don't have enough to wash it, and the clear coat is all peeling off.
The only thing sweet about the car is the running gear crammed into it, but thanks, will take the compliment.
The darth sticker is from the cannonball run, didn't have the heart to pull it off, which sort of add's to the unsweetness of the car, cause taking off the stickers took some of the clear coat off in places.
Could you hear the engine in the drive thru?

yeah that'd be me :p had a feeling it would be somebodys from here as i had seen mention of darth vader somewhere :p
you couldnt really hear the car at all to be honest, the exhaust is super quiet! or maybe because my car is too loud
don't be so harsh on the beast, being an mx5 its naturally sweet, just think of it all as extra character haha.

Snow tyres?! Glad you're using them for skids cos that's all they're good for. I drove one car on snow tyres once and it was pretty hairy!
Donnovan a lick of paint and some less ricer rims and your car would look as good as it goes! I'm on tank as well and both of my cars are FILTHY. Occasionally hit up wash world but that place is frikken expensive.
Cool sunroof bro...

Make sure you take all four to any drift day. Problem one of mates found drifting his MX5 with them is they delaminate real quick being used like that and handle really funny because of the compund!

Yeah I thought they were snow tires too... I tried them once when I lived in Wanaka and drove the TC road daily, and lots of other snowy roads generally looking for fun or needing to go somewhere (like across the Crown Range for a party in QT) - they offer low traction levels, high noise levels plus very poor wear characteristics... all in possibly 100% perfect for the desired usage in this instance!

Holy Crap Yes - I kept seeing nice clean cars, often the same ricer cars down on Wairau Road, so once I got back from collecting my H/T from down the bottom of the Mainland & needed to sell the Nissan transporter we thought Wash World would be a good place to go to blast mud & diesel form its nooks & crannys - it worked yes, the slots in the wall took about $65 of coins from me! Defo for lazy wealthy peoples
