Heldenzeit's Garage (Endless Maintenance)

[Heldenzeit]

Ah, I didn't realize you could still order it. The guy that runs that site is a friend of mine. I'll have to look into it. Hehe.

I reckon your car would look awesome with all that, but you'd probably need more tire.

 

[Heldenzeit]

For sure. Even my -6 offset wheels would be sunk under that flare.

Looking at getting a set of Gen4 949 Racing 6ULs inn 15x10 +25 towards the end of the year. Car works best on a square setup instead of staggered.

You know you want some of these as well http://www.miataroadster.com/nopro/nopro-front-bumper-canards/nopgtspeccanardna/i-581135.aspx

$430.00 wuuuuttt?! That better include the entire front bumper.

I agree they would look sick on there and might even help a little with his under steer. But not for that price.

I imagine they're made to order? Aero/body/exterior is so expensive these days...

Eh, I can make them for 1/10th the cost lol.

Definitely made to order. Japan tax and shipping make the price so high. Exchange rate isn't bad, I'd have him requote it if I was serious.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I might order these seats with the carbon back. I have a friend that works there, so I think I can get a deal.

That looks pretty good. And they're really buckets, that looks tight too.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I sat in a set a few months ago and liked it. I'll have to get brackets too, but no worries there.

Found this beautiful Jaguar Vanden Plas Super V8 on craigslist today. 56k miles. Same color as the Miata. I reaaaaaly want it. If you don't already know, the Super V8 uses the engine from the XJR, but in the long wheelbase Vanden Plas. Also known as the Daimler Super Eight overseas. These were all special order, so there were only 700 estimated being built.

Or I can do something really dumb.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

(Says the guy who just bought his third car a couple of hours ago. I've never owned more than one before this.)

A rare car owned by someone who knows how and is able to maintain / love the car the way it deserves is a beautiful thing.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I'll try haha.

 

[SVX]

What a terrible idea.

Do it.

 

[Turtle]

What a terrible idea.

Do it.

Now that's the kind of thinking I can get behind.

Unless it's my money, that is.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I think I've sold my other Miata, so I may go take a look at this soon. More affordable than the VDP and less V12 issues than the XJ12. My first job was at a Jag shop, so I feel like I know these cars pretty well. Hope it all works out.

What the hell. Well, change the wheels, please.

Most likely will. I can't just leave it alone hehe.

 

[Cano]

Ooooooo OZ Futuras. I absolutely aprove.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Awesome Car Make Corns exhaust has been reinstalled. Sounds great!

 

[Heldenzeit]

This might need to be my next car.

Coincidentally, I saw one of those today. On those rims too, albeit lower, and with a lovely burbly exhaust.

 

[motortrend]

I like those a lot more than the SLC, and with those wheels and euro headlights it looks very cool. You can probably handle any work and maintenance. Go for it!

 

[Heldenzeit]

I'd like to. Still waiting for my tax refund and the Laguna Miata to be picked up.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I like anime and stickers. Both? Yes please.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I think I need this.

I've often wondered whether open-gated shifters were available for MX-5s. Now I know.

Edit: Also, damn you. I didn't know that site existed and now I'm hunting down some Recaros...

 

[Downhill Dino]

Not knowing about Yahoo Auctions?! Prepare to spend hours on there.

Tell me about it. Now saved in my browser. Ordinarily I'd not be that bothered but since my car is an import it might make getting hold of a few rare bits a little easier.

You have to have a Japanese IP address to bid though. I have a buyer I go through. For small stuff you can use jauce.com.
