Just got her back from Leif's today and she's looking good. Had to pick up a new battery on the way home becauae the old ome went flat while they had it. Was bummed when I got home and noticed a decent sized chip in the hardtop due to the grit on the roads from the snow. But for the most part I'm really glad to have my car back.

What wheels are those? Is there a model code stamped on the wheel under the centre cap?
 
Kinda boring compared to other cars on here. But she does have some pep. Automatic, non-VTEC, JDM K20Z Civic. Current mods are: TSX K24 intake manifold and throttle body, Type-R OEM catback, BBS CS-5's and tuned ECU.

Next will be camshafts, valve springs and retune to 8K for top end. Hopefully I'll be up and above 200 soon :)

Might not look as exciting as some cars here but it has tasteful wheels that fit properly and sure makes more power than my car. Probably sounds better too. 3SGEs sound like a bee farting... :embarrassed: Well the exhaust does. Intake sound is nice.
 
Those are the factory 15x6 bbs wheels that come with the 95 m edition miatas. I'm not sure about the part number though
The reason I ask is they look very similar to the ones I have which are from an early 90s Mazda Capella lightweight edition. I think only 200 cars built. Although they were on my SW20 MR2.
BBS RG097. 15x6.5+45.

Looks like they are the same wheel, except mine are only 4 lug for the miata

Went drifting before my Biology midterm :D There wasn't a lot of snow but enough to break the tyres loose
I'll post some later, don't wanna spam :embarrassed:


Took him for a nice shower today, back to his usual self, although the brake dust has kinda stained my rims. It shouldn't be too hard to get out with a proper hand wash.
Dirty :sly:

I found that brake dust will mostly polish out using a compound if it's on paint. I spent about 2 hours per wheel doing mine but that's 32 spokes per wheel...
