How common are the AK hard tops over in the states?

Import tax and postage makes them as rare as rocking horse 🤬 over here.

Looks good though, loving the arches too.

They are only common here in Southern California. And by common I mean I know of 5 others locally. It helps that the manufacturer is here too.

Arches are also by AK.

Timing belt fixed. I also changed the tensioners so the car runs really nice right now.

Added stainless lines for the rear. (All they had in stock was orange)

Wilwood brake bias adjuster.

Added some titanium bolts to the steering wheel. It's complete!

 

[Heldenzeit]

Went to Buttonwillow again. Best time was a 2:11.8 on 13CW. Not bad for only my second time there.

Until I managed to have a bit of an off haha.

Car needs new tires and a racing seat. I keep sliding around haha.

I would recommend at least a 4 or 5 point harness too. I never realized you are not set up with a harness yet. I don't even see a should strap. Are you using just a lap belt?

 

[Cano]

Aw, goodbye lip. Well, now you can start on that extreme aero package and LS7 swap you wanted (:

Once I install a seat, harnesses will be installed as well. I'm just using the OEM belts now (Shoulder and lap).

Aero package yes! No LS haha.

Aero package yes! No LS haha.

I don't really like Mx5s as I've said many times before but every shot of your car I see it just looks more and more awesome. The wheels, arches and roof give it the perfect mini race car look. 👍

 

[Cano]

^
word. Freaking thing looks awesome.

Thanks! It's really becoming into the vision I had when I first started working on it.

 

[Heldenzeit]

$310. All the JDM. Should I?

 

[Downhill Dino]

I don't know, sure? Consider colour balance though.

What do you mean it doesn't match with my tan interior and white steering wheel? Hahaha

 

[Downhill Dino]

Yes. Maybe that's just me that likes a colour scheme and some accents? You don't want some rainbow mess going on. But what am I saying, I'd probably have bought those gauges by now. They're so ridiculous so jdm it's awesome.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I agree, color balance is important. But these are just soooooo coooool!

I'll regret not buying it...

 

[Downhill Dino]

Hey man I'm basically saying buy it.

I PM'd the seller.

 

[Cano]

lol, the gauges. The sakuras are worth it.

Haha they are shipping out today. Produced by AWD (Art Works Dewa), no longer available.

I dig it but it bothers me that the numbers don't switch sides with the script once on the other side, it's like the km/h and mph switched over 80, just less confusing of course

Huh, I didn't notice that lol. Something to get used to.

Gauges installed. I cut the back part of the needle and painted them gold.

Night mode is amazing.

Installed a carbon fiber timing cover from Maruha Motors.

and painted the valve cover gold as well as the exhaust heat shield in black. ARP bolts used on the VC.

Windows get foggy when it rains....guess I should seal them.

Aaaaaaaaaah duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude the sakuras light up in pink! That is the most awesome thing I've ever seen a Miata do!

I know! I was super stoked when I saw it light the first time. My friend's gauges are equally as cool too. Same company made them.

 

[Cano]

Not. They're just generic stars. YOURS ARE SAKURAS DUDE, SAKURASSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Heldenzeit]

Sakuras are a good thing.

 

[Downhill Dino]

I didn't know they lit up either. Best thing ever. 👍
