Uh....Duh.,..Greg, I get the "message"...Remember the "play" I eluded to in New Orleans!!!...Carl LOL

 

Speaking of LED's, Miata have you noticed the newer COB LED's being available in canbus? hahahah :]

 

Greg" BTW. When that oil rig , in your avatar, hits black gold, be sure to call me...rims could be an option..LOL..Carl

 

I'm through looking at LED's.. LOL. Just waiting on a good deal on clear markers for the rear.. them and glove box and everything is LED at that point..

And here I was playing nice instead of telling you that is the first indication of the Skreem module going out and having you tear your car apart..

That was a response to 180 at one point (yep smartass response).. your a little late to the party.. what's your number?

 

What else would it be but 6?.... better late than never?...I guess...and BTW, if that module goes out, I will Skreem ( another "pinch" time)....Seeriously Thanks for all your help/advice...I really appreciate it loads...Carl

 

I think that Skreem module ranks top of the list of "Don't go out".. LOL. Sherri is looking at wheels.. just hasn't found anything she really likes.. Looked yours up online.. She didn't like the price tag.. LOL.

She may throw in the towel and just say order them when she gets tired of looking..

 

Hey Miata, did you guys check this out before by any chance? Plenty of awesome looking styles to choose from for the rims. Those black and red lined ones look epic!

Will pass the link on to her.. Thanks! REALLY want to steer clear of adapters and spacers..

 

Hard to stay away from spacers with our cars

 

I tried for over a week to get someone from USARim to respond to my emails to no avail... I tend to avoid places where I get poor before-the-sale service. Ended up hitting up Vassilli at Power Wheels Pro :: WHEELS for your PREMIER car. I'm going to try the wheels without the spacers first, but it's still going to be a few weeks before they have stock.

 

To bad they do not have any 19x10.

 

Yeah, no love there. I wanted to keep the rolling weight down, and keep the OEM tire size, so I went with the 19 x 9.5 ET35s. Now if only they'd hurry up and get here so I can get them mounted and take some pictures.


I de-baffled the elbow and removed the MAF screen today on a whim. (That sounds better than "shattered the brittle plastic trying to pop the screen out just to test" right? :P ) In any case, I wasn't expecting anything, but feels like an increase in low-end torque. At least it reliably breaks traction from a roll on dry pavement now. It didn't do that before...

 

Hmm.. you just made me realize something. Wife was in my car at one point for some reason.. don't remember why.. but she commented that mine "jumps out" more than hers.. she was shooting across traffic and barked the tires. I blew it off since she's got the tune and TB and intakes "just like mine"..
EXCEPT.. I de-baffled my elbow.. Guess we'll be going back in when I have a slow day..

 

Yeah I just passed on that link because I saw they had a lot of Mercedes rims that looked good. Never ordered from them though.

 

Maybe they blew me off because I mentioned it was for a Crossfire?

 

Just tell them it's a SLK

 

Yeah technically the 2004 slk is what we drive so might as well ask them hahah

 

Haha, yeah i hear ya Had plans of driving it today, now it's snowing again......I need to move somewhere warmer








2004 SSB 6spd Coupe. Annnnd....loving it!

 

Dang. You must be in Canada, time to put tire chains back on for you.

 

Mrmiata: Greg, this is the area that referred to....Carl
