extra bogy wheels (no hyfax wear at all)
polished tunnel (even under seat)

very nice! little too much windshield for me but a great sled!

 

[stomper]

Very nice sled. Exact same as mine, but mine isn't quite that shiny. YET! A solid black apex seat would look awsome on that. How do you polish the aluminum.

 

[Indy]

thanks.

I used mothers this time around. I always finish with a coat of mothers carnuba, seems to stay clean longer.

200.00 bucks is nothing if you want it gone. Save that in insurance....

Sweet looking sled.And a fun car for the summer(The yamaha engineer Masao Furusawa who design the first mono RA has his own miata that he drives and tests his chassis design to make it better).

 

[Sasquatch]

Nice!

I used to run the clear light with led bulbs but the guys complained that the snow would build up on the lens due to the led's not making enough heat to melt the snow off. Now I have an Apex seat and tail light with no problems.

I run the same shield and love it. My knees stay warm as well as the rest of me. The Venture mirrors are the best. To lazy to do that much polishing though! Good Job!

 

[BIG BLACK WARRIOR]

Indy, Is that the same RX-1 you brought to central NY back in 2005 for our TY NY ride that year?

 

[Indy]

Yes Gordon, it is still my old girl. Cant wait to bring her back out and ride with you again.

Gordon, with the warmer weather being so early this year, what is the forcast for the summer in the midwest?

Sasquatch, I used to run the LED tailights, the ones that go in circles, drove the people behind me nuts, now I just use red bulbs, not LED. No snow build up problems.

Lowslung, thanks. The Miata is a fun car to drive, year round here. It is like my 4 wheel sled. Mine is a 94 R, R versions are built for racing from the factory. The 94 R version is the most sought after Miata to purchase, I got lucky and the seller didnt know.
