Here's The Parts Group info: http://www.partsgroup.com/store.aspx...gSystem&Page=0. If nothing else it will give you a point of reference for cost.

Thanks! I'll probably keep that link handy.
Because it wasn't the radiator, I'm going to try and fix the cosmetic stuff.
More or so because some of the cosmetics actually protect other parts like oil coolers and the radiator.
I'm hoping I can mock something up like this:

Just not as fancy obviously, but a friend of mine has aluminum sheets laying around and well, we both need one but do not want to pay for an undertray lol
RotaryFreak26 is helping me out with the bumper/lip, I am ordering the inner wheel well liner.
So looks like I will be okay in a few weeks
Thanks to everyone that has helped me!

I just bought some stuff for the Miata today (they have one like mine they just got in), talked to Tom the owner, really nice guy and good to talk to. I'm not sure how many 8s they break compared to Miatas, but they always have some parts showing on the site.

That car is going to handle like it's on rails. Just picked up a Toyo T1R, now I just need to find 3 more!

Good luck. They were discontinued a few months ago, so finding new ones might be difficult.

brilliantblackrx8

you know me, always buying stuff that's discontinued... I bought the tire for $65 locally and it's in as good as shape as my Hankooks, so I figured why not? I am having my buddy Steve look into getting three more. Lucky for me I got an oddball size, so there may be a few left, 255/40zr18. There is a guy on ebay selling these but only as a matched set for an M3. He won't break them up, oh well.

Here is Shifty's car which has the same tire, but on a 9.5 Work wheel. Good ride height for a body kit, I think.

You might be able to find that size. I can see if Jason's wife can find any through Tire Discounters if you'd like.

It's a great tire. Hopefully it's replacement is just as good. S1R i believe. 255/40 should put dead on what the stock rolling diameter is.

My R1R's are supposedly exactly 26" not that i really care. They're wider than the current 245's i have by a good bit. If i think of it, i'll measure before i move the 8 back to the barn this weekend.

Nice wheels. Do you know the manf.?

Thanks, those tires look like they run a little wider and taller, which is good if you ever plan on putting on that bumper. I'll be glad to run my wheels with more height, the car is just too low for this Cincy environment.

Yeah, it's nice to have a little sidewall around town. Potholes and expansion joints aren't kind.

Mazdax3

Uh, $427 per wheel at Vivid Racing. Not in this years or next three years budget.

Nice though, but momma would have my gonads in a vise if I did something like this. To her, a car is an appliance, although she does like driving the Miata.

You back now Kytten? Kings find the noise yet?

Check with some of our vendors. They may be able to get you a better price. They show up used from time to time here, nasioc (subie forums), and evolutionm (evo forums).

Anyone going to Fuel tomorrow?

brilliantblackrx8

Not CR-Kai's but not bad. slightly narrower than what we have stock, but throw on your stock tires and some spacers and your good to go!

Keep your eyes on Work Outlet website, you may find a deal from time to time.

brilliantblackrx8

Are they open every week now?

Mazdax3

Nice, but narrow. 7.5". Still $250/wheel. Not bad, but I'd want to stick with 8" rims min.

I found out this week that the company is on the verge of Chap 11. So bloodletting probably will happen the end of the month. Do I feel secure? Not really. I might have to shlep carts at Costco to make a living, which is probably more rewarding overall. Painting the stockers are kind of iffy right now too.
