Finally got some new wheels(Borbet Type XL, 18") + tires(225/45ZR18 General Exclaim UHP) to replace my OEM hub caps, and I swapped out the factory radio for something my ipod would get a long with (Pioneer FH-P8000BT):

Wamsutta posted:Your car is desperately asking to be lowered. Yeah -- Nissan made these things comically high - it's on my wish list. But from what I've seen, there isn't much available aftermarket. Just a couple of spring kits, but don't those trash the suspension over time?

Took it to it's first (of many) autocrosses... needs heavy suspension work. Shocks are for women

Beach Bum posted:If you think you have body roll, you need to check out my old E30. Oh god, that sig is brilliant. Must have been fun trying to transfer weight in the slaloms with that. How is she sitting these days? I was jealous of all the other kids on the playground who's rear didn't raise up 1' in the hard braking zone for the turn around.

rotarybob posted:I think this should get its own thread for being so unique, with autocross videos and dyno numbers! A turbo Yaris at an autox terrifies me. This was at the last autox completely stock, running r-comps on some aftermarket wheels. He placed 9th/53 in PAX times, and 20th/53 overall in raw times... completely stock. Godbless that man.

Gave the girls a good Spring bath: FYI -- this Armor All Wheel Protectant: http://www.armorall.com/products/view_product.php?product_id=33 ...is amazing on the TT's wheels (not so amazing on the Miata's BBSs).

DogDodger posted:Nice. Details on your TT? I actually wish I could list all these exciting things I've done to it, but the truth is that it's a bone stock 2008 FWD 2.0L. In fact it still has these HORRIBLE Nexen brand tires on it that the dealer put on to save money, and they make me curse the heavens almost every day. I've been putting all my money into the Miata as it's my track toy. In fact, the Miata still needs new shocks, alignment, maybe front sways, and a harness + harness bar. After those items I *might* direct some attention to the TT. I do love looking at the TT, but for now it's just a glorified commuter vehicle. Tragic. Re: size - I need to take a picture of the entire stable, actually. My GF has a MINI Cooper S. The MINI is the largest looking car of the group (and the most practical). It looks big next to that 95 Miata. The width of the TT takes a bit of getting used to, but the length is really great, and so is the height. Wouldn't mind losing a few inches off the height overall, but it's a smaller car than the 335i it replaced.

Have a shot of it closer to the Miata? Dimensionally, the Mk.2 isn't much bigger than mine, but it appears big in pictures.

Coasterphreak posted:You have a supermodel girlfriend, but you leave her cold, alone, and neglected while you take your craigslist whore shopping at the mall, with dancing afterwards. Harsh. She might be beautiful to look at and sit in, but she's high maintenance and always runs my CC bill up whenever I take her out. ...besides, the other girl handles better (there, I said it).
