Well, here goes. Looking forward to being part of this community! More a racer than a drifter, but I'm sure I can learn Smile

Here is the Roadster in the condition I bought it in...

He said 'a few small scratches'... It'll need a bit of love, but I'm willing to give it some time.

Here she is after some panel beating and a little bit of paint (and some new wheels Smile

). Added a Vary body kit all around (except the wing).

Hi im from gswd

Cut Springs Posts : 167 Join date : 2012-09-23

Hi yello, good to meet you!

I spend most of my time in the main GSW. Just did the Lopi S14 with Mooove and fretless, and I think I'll spend a lot of my time here painting and doing time attack.

Looking forward to it! Smile

Welcome Railplanner, theres plenty of time attack and autocross events going on weekly, hopefully if a big enough group of racers start showing up there can be some actual wheel to wheel racing.

Good to see a racer on BNB, post some pictures!

Wheels And A Drop Posts : 346 Join date : 2012-08-30

I loved that pic you sent me.
Pushed back a tune for you. Been using it for the Rival AutoX.

Looking forward to seeing you put some stickers on that thing too.

Subject: Re: Rails' Garage - VTEC love Tue Sep 25, 2012 1:53 pm

Yea RP! Make that Miata Mooooove!

Retro/b2b, we have a non-aero tester! Plus he's good with the brush Wink

Thanks, guys. Will be sure to check it out, B2B, and I may have already put a few stickers on her! Wink

BTW, have you been telling Mooove how rubbish my tunes are?! Wink

Cut Springs Posts : 167 Join date : 2012-09-23

I plan on making my MX5 Roadster Coupe a Mini-RX7! Wink

Oh wait.

Wheels And A Drop Posts : 346 Join date : 2012-08-30

Lol, no Rails - that was driving I said Razz

I still rock that 135i from time to time. I accidentally found myself invited into a lobby last week and surrounded by NSX and other LB bumf. Smoked them all out going sideways through the first three corners of Silverstone GP - didn't win, but that's a different storry!

Ignore the crazy fool.
Hey Rails - good to see you around.

Cut Springs Posts : 167 Join date : 2012-09-23

Just quietly, I love that car, B2B! Could be my 2nd car on BNB Smile

Nice to meet you, Kev. Amazed it's been this long, tbh...

Subject: Re: Rails' Garage - VTEC love Wed Sep 26, 2012 1:01 pm

Get that pick up yo!

Cut Springs Posts : 167 Join date : 2012-09-23

Pic up in OP, Mooove Wink

Cut Springs Posts : 167 Join date : 2012-09-23

Oh wait, did you mean this one?!?!

This is where I'd like to get my mini-RX7 to in the coming weeks:

hmm. I think you have the model name wrong for your car sir.

the 2007 MX5 Coupe is the 3rd gen hardtop. (15,000 cost)

Yours is the 2001 Mazdaspeed Roadster. (13,000 cost)

Either way a good first choice! Just make sure you get what you paid for!

Cut Springs Posts : 167 Join date : 2012-09-23

Oh wow... Well spotted.

I'll take my $2k back and buy some body kit and wheels!

Are the rims/rim size and all in one, $1.5k package? I'm not sure exactly how to read that on the parts list...

Rails

Subject: Re: Rails' Garage - VTEC love Wed Sep 26, 2012 1:42 pm

Yea, rims/width/size are all packaged up @ 1.5. Then compound is another fee

Event Organizer Posts : 2543 Join date : 2012-07-31

Yeah i misinterpreted the wheel/tire stuff too. What Mooove said is right and should save you money in the long run if you are running a few different combinations.

Cut Springs Posts : 167 Join date : 2012-09-23

Here she is at the moment.

Rails' Garage - VTEC love 8032909039_14c391673a_z

Just waiting on next week's payday, where she can get herself a new engine!

Subject: Re: Rails' Garage - VTEC love Fri Sep 28, 2012 3:09 pm

look at her... Aint she purdy.. Wink

Wheels And A Drop Posts : 346 Join date : 2012-08-30

Good choice of rims..... Very Happy

Cut Springs Posts : 167 Join date : 2012-09-23

Hmmm. Cant edit original post properly on my phone as it's too long...

Will add 3,750 credits + one sport part to my budget for 2nd in the Green Hell time attack when I get a chance.

Methinks that the Mazda could use a body kit...

Congrats on doing so well with the BRZ on the P2P, great times - B did an amazing job with it.

Cut Springs Posts : 167 Join date : 2012-09-23

Thanks, Kev. She's a very, very nice car to drive. I tweaked the standard version a little based on his suggestions (tune only) for Stage D and ran the pure B2B tune on Stage B.

Trying to put a paint together for it. Will shoot you a copy somehow once I get it done.
