Nice score, Warrior. A rear R-Package is on the wishlist.
Speaking of wishlist my number 1 wished for part has now been crossed off thanks to MattBRG.

Alright so my Carbon Miata Hardtop Spoiler arrived today! It looks sweet as and it only took about 3 weeks for it to get to my door.
I went for the carbon fibre one because even though it cost a lot more, it looks soo much better and I didn't have to finish it off.

Nice! Good to see another car with a genuine carbon one not a wrapped fibreglass one.
Have they fixed the issue where the middle of the spoiler goes a little out of shape in the middle in cold weather?

I have no idea if they fixed it or not, the spoiler was really rigid (being the first piece of carbon I had held in my hand

) when I picked it up so I don't know, I've still got a few cold, early mornings ahead of me so I'll keep an eye out for it happening and let ya know

Is it a known problem for carbonmiata spoilers to do that?

I bought mine as soon as they were first available and it goes a little rippled in cold weather, I let them know about it and he said that they would make some revisions.

Installed the mounts over the weekend then entered into a gymkhana on sunday to test them out.
So much better than the stock worn ones, gearstick doesnt move around a heap during acceleration anymore.

I'm hoping to get better shifting with my own ones, great to hear the overly positive feedback on them.

Yeah might have to get some myself, got a short shifter in the car and sometimes shifting is a bit notchy compared to my last two MX5's, mind you I haven't done the gearbox oil.
That made a huge difference on my last blue one, it wouldn't shift to 2nd when cold unless you double clutched, after changing the oil it was smooth as butter even when cold.

Picked up my new Radiator Panel from REDBEN today....... Thanks alot Ben!!!!
Also returned my Fusiom head deck to Hyper. I have had some issues with it so swapped it over for a better unit from Sony. Now i can also play my CD collection as well as having 'MODERN' input options.
