Well, I thought it might be good to remind folks that not only is the underneath of his car cool, the top side is really cool too. Of course, the other two cars help complete the image - the good old blue, white and red. I love this picture - though I'm admittedly biased.

Jay am i right in saying you are the only rootes motor in that lineup?
How do those tires/ wheels fit?
The 205 50 15 or 205 45 16 is the size I want to run because of that is the size on the miata. That way if I match the rear end gearing then the computer will produce the right speedo signal. and it will keep the mazda shift points/feel of the miata. What are you running up front for back spacing? Thank you I feel like I will be stealing a lot of your ideas.

Steal away, glad to help.
I am running Yokohama S-drive 185/55-15 on 15x6 25mm off-set rims in front and 205/50-15 on 15x7 20mm off-set in the rear. With this combo the sidewall size is the same front and rear. Remember mine is a Series II with a different front end then the later series, so am not sure if 25mm off-set will work up front. My rear wheel wells are rolled and my rear axle is 51.75" flange to flange.
