Real name is Hai. It means ocean in Vietnamese. That or #2. I much prefer girls to call me their ocean instead of their number two.

Anyways.... I'm back in a Miata! I owned a 2004 MSM for almost a decade. Loved that thing to pieces. Drove it over 100K miles then it was "stolen." Basically got hustled out of it. haven't heard of it or seen it since.





Owned a few other cars before that. The most memorable being my first Civic. LS Vtec, full GSR interior, Mugen wing, etc...



Had a Porsche for a couple years.





That thing got me a lot of ass. A LOT.



Damn thing needed a new DMF among other things, and became a gross polluter when I went to smog it, so I ended up letting it go. You guys know the new owner.

Put on some NS Div.2 wheels today. 15x9.5 + 25 wrapped with 205/50/15 Falken Azenis RT615K.

I'm diggin the look. A little more retro IMO. The tires stick like CRAZY. Hoping they hold up well. I don't do too much freeway driving, so they should last a while. No track days planned, but I'm definitely going canyon carving with them soon.

Haha thanks... I really liked the Direzzas, but the 0 offset on the Rotas wasn't doing it for me.

I had the choice of these or the Rays 57DR, but the Rays were "Honda offset" so the baby flares would look totally out of place.

205/50 is a good size for a 9" wheel. I like the slight stretch. I could've gone with the 225/45 RS3, but I'm at 100HP with a good back wind, so no need lol.

Haha yup. It worked! Only a little flexing, but nothing out of the ordinary.



Thanks guys. I'm diggin the undertray too. If it actually does anything other than make oil changes a PITA, I'll never know haha.

As for cleaning the wheels... I haven't thought that far lol. Probably going to sell them before I need to :p

Oh you're the one on IG!! Haha. Just drove 800 miles with them and had some brake dust and road grime. They cleaned up really easy.

Whoever makes those wheels needs to make some fucking 14x8" versions.
But there aren't any good 14" tires sizes for an 8" :?

Ly, do you think that undertray is thick enough to protect from rocks and other debris?
Definitely. I've already hit a stupid big dip that had a manhole cover at the crest. You can sort of see the scratch in the picture I posted. Didn't dent it, just left a ,mark.

What do you guys think of this bus' headlight? Next time I'm out, I'm going to get measurements. I wont be able to get depth, but if the width and height work, I'll look more into it. It really looks like it'd work for a low pro headlight.



The new buses here have LED and HID housings in the same lights. Would be sick.
