Re: Update, Mazda Miata MX-5
Rims came in today, heres a few pictures of them, they are 17" Drag DR11 Rims. Wrap with Kumho Ecsta MX tires.
![]() ![]() ![]() Car is now outa the body shop and looks great, only imperfection is the rear bumper is a tad to big resulting in minor gaps on the edges of the rear bumper, i'll seek professional help from a few companys and locals on what the best thing to do. Pictures should be up tomorrow, i wanna clean her up some. =) `Gerry

Re: Update, Mazda Miata MX-5
Those are gonna look good on that car.
I must say, I like miata's, but I cant drive one. The upper edge of the windshield is RIGHT at eye level for me, even on the newer ones.

Re: Update, Mazda Miata MX-5
How tall are you? I had a friend in highschool who was about 6 5 or 6 6 and he had no problems with driving his.

Re: Update, Mazda Miata MX-5
I had a 6'8" friend who liked to borrow my old MGB. He look hilarious in it, sort of like a clown car. His entire head was above the windshield when he drove.

Re: Update, Mazda Miata MX-5
My dad used to have an old 72 FIAT Spider. I remember that if I let my left arm hang out the window I would have to be careful not to touch the ground while driving. Felt like a go kart. Was a fun little car to cruise around on the island. Too bad it didnt hold up to salt air that well and the engine had all sorts of problems.
