so does this post make you feel cooler?.....little manlier?.....unlike you i am secure enough in my manhood to know that the mx-5 is a very decent sports car and with the right mods can whoop all over your car.....and i can guarantee you with the way i am going to set mine up i will out drive you any day of the week....so lets not get into this pissing contest and stay the f00k out my thread if you dont like it.....its my car, and my choice...you are obviously an insecure tool who has to try and make yourself feel better by trying to belittle others.....apparently you didnt know how much in common the 8 is to the mx-5....lets see how many parts they share.....transmission, platform, suspension, just to name a few......now back to the new car

Looking good Chris! Love that color and the hardtop. Enjoy! I know you will.
Is there a Supercharger in it's future?

Yet it's hard to reconcile the Miata's "chick car'' reputation with the fact that it's the most popular car among racers in the Sports Car Club of America.
sounds like its one of the favs in SCCofA there cornholio... and your statement only goes to show you drive the 8 perhaps to make up for other shortcomings in life? need a manly car to cover up your feminist self?

What kind of rims are you getting? RPF1's, RP03's, or even the JS+M's look sick and they are all light.

havent decided on rims yet because if i go with the rx-8 calipers (which might happen soon) and rotors i need to get 18's at minimum for clearance...and i need to stay less than 17lbs per wheel (stock) because i am not trying to throw off the balance......i have only had the car a few days but there seems to be a ton of mods that i can do, stay in a good budget and make it a monster

RPF1's in 18x9.5 are 17.4 pounds each. Don't know if these are too wide though.

RX8 is hardly called a manly car though. Manly car would be a mustang or a dodge charger with chrome wheels which I hate with passion...

Don't get me wrong. I do not think RX8 as a "chick car" either. So don't go putting words in my mouth.

aside that...

Chris....great choice in color.....congrats! You gotta put up some topless pictures.....I wanna see the interior....those seats look cool...

Stay with silver. Please. Oh wait, it's your car, I forgot.

Cosworth is super cool. That would be a great power to weight ratio in a light-weight car that's still fantastic in the corners. I wouldn't worry about voiding the warranty on a Miata ... but recall that was part of the reason you got rid of the 8. Less confident in the 8's reliability?

That wheel gap has gotta go!
