Got my Sera back from the paint shop today. I'm very happy with the new colour (Squeeze Metallic from the Ford Fiesta). They also re-worked the front and rear bumpers, as the originals were designed to hold narrow Japanese plates.
On the to do list:
Replace fading old tail lights, fix the interior, and fix (or possibly replace) the rims. 👍

That sera looks great, though if going with green I would have prefered something more like desert sage, which i sure love, but still it looks great 👍

Thanks for all of the comments... I really appreciate it! I was afraid that everyone except me would hate the colour selection, so Im really glad to read your positive comments. Green can be a real tricky colour... it can look good, just depending on what type of car you are painting. It can be a bit of a Vegemite colour (Love it or hate it). 
Sound interesting. It might be worth looking into. I guess as long as it isnt really noticeable on the front of the car.
I remember seeing a Colour like this while strolling through the Lexus dealership. It looked real nice... I considered it!
Lol, yeah. One thing good about this state is that you can choose any style of number plates for your car. You can write anything up to 9 characters , and choose between 10 different background colours, including hot pink, purple, light blue and bright orange. You can also choose between Aluminium or Acrylic fiber. Pretty cool.Is your plate your username? Also very awesome

I want your cars.
Yes,I did'nt want a gutted out car. The interior does'nt weigh anything significant. There is only a dash,but there is no HVAC in the car. Basicaly everything was gutted than just the shell of the dash was re-installed. I like having a car that can dip into the 8's and still be driven comfortably on the street. Besides,I race in the NHRA Sport RWD class. This is a class full of 8 and 9 sec cars that actually look like street cars. The class does'nt allow certain mods. Has to have a full exhaust that exits out the rear,2 power adders max w/weight penalty, and it must retain the factory fuel tank. The car must weight 3,000lbs with the way I have it setup in order to meet compliance with the class. So sorry to say that 2F2F **** does'nt don't fly with me. I'm not going to gut a car with perfect interior just to say "I took the interior out to save 25lbs. Actually,the car was lightened quite a bit. I actually had to add weight back to meet class regulations. So theres your answer.

My car is AWD. Sport RWD is open to AWD and RWD vehicles.
It has to be re-dynoed. But I'll estimate atleast 950. I don't care how much it makes as long as it's enough to run sub-9 sec passes.

Aw.
The V10 is awesome, but the diesel Excursions can do some pretty interesting things in the fuel economy department.
Edit: @Dougboy: MORE Miatas? Holy crap. EVERYONE IS BUYING THEM NOW.

EDIT:
Righto, is that a once off payment? Here is SA you can get anything up to 6 characters for a yearly payment of $200 something, and 7 characters for $255 I think. I wouldn't mind making a larger once off payment but on top of rego a yearly payment is hard to afford. We can get "personalised" plates but I don't like the look of them, at $180 per year though I might go with that or even premium.
www.ezyplates.sa.gov.au has all the information about custom plates here.
Anyway here's my (first) ride, a 1991 Accord. Picked her up cheap and done some work and quite a nice car, 5 speed manual etc.
