seems like you have the hottest roadster in norway! add a roll bar (not style bar please!) and itll look killer!

Kolbotn · 07-10-2009, 11:28 AM

Thanks for the first comment man!
A rollbar is on its way from Japan as we speek

flat black Mazdaspeed w tuckin'99 harnessbar

I could go lower, but then i'd probably need coilovers instead of the setup as is, and i am thrilled about the way the car handles now...
Although i'd love to drop it even more thou'

Vegard · 07-10-2009, 12:49 PM

Looks good, it's come along way in a short time period!

Kolbotn · 08-14-2009, 06:59 PM

Haigog · 08-14-2009, 07:15 PM

Lt. Dan · 08-15-2009, 02:56 PM

I like the little monster guy

darkdrifter · 08-15-2009, 10:33 PM

that is a great start. I'm loving it.
key!s wheel is not common in miatas, good choice.

jnshk · 08-15-2009, 11:48 PM

lookin' good, man!

Kolbotn · 08-16-2009, 06:24 AM

Thanks for the comments guys

Appreciated!

Kolbotn · 09-01-2009, 11:16 AM

Well, here is som more photos from lately, no big changes to the car exept new cd player and rollbar padding.
Got my new steeringwheel, but still waiting on the Wb stuff.

Local Burger Meet a couple of days ago:

We ended up skipping the burgers and going for a drive instead.

Thats all folks! At least for now

LostSoulMiata · 09-02-2009, 01:23 AM

Looks good and clean

I daily my car as low as it is and I'm going lower

iRoadster · 09-02-2009, 02:14 AM

This gets my "Seal of Approval."

Kolbotn · 09-02-2009, 06:47 AM

Well Andrew, you probably have'nt been driving around Oslo Much

Then again, if i had money for coilovers i'd probably slam my car too;P

iRoadster: ^^lol, Seal of aproval

Thanks Thou

Kolbotn · 09-22-2009, 11:50 AM

RHDjapan sendt this:

Bill@Miataroadster sendt this:

Vegard · 09-23-2009, 10:16 PM

That's pretty! I'll steal your hub and QR, looking forward to checking it out! Post the length from the plastic to the back of the s-wheel sometime.

Kolbotn · 09-30-2009, 06:14 PM

WB QR, Short Hub & KeyS! wheel

Vegard, The original length is around 6-7 cm now it's 12... so noticeably closer...

93 S-Edition · 10-01-2009, 10:58 PM

Looks sweet, Ive always wanted a silverstone.

Kolbotn · 10-02-2009, 03:22 PM

Well, winter is coming i a month or two so i won't be getting coilovers this year, and i'll be going to Japan Next year, so i might have to save some money for the trip too...
Will probably be buying her some parts when i'm over there thou'

freedomgli · 04-14-2010, 09:12 AM

Those Rota RB look great on your car in black. I'm really digging the white roundels on your doors and the Japanese sticker next to it. Where is that sticker from?

Kolbotn · 04-14-2010, 09:25 AM

Thanks, glad you like it

The sticker is a memorial sticker for River side founder and drifter Atsushi Kuroi that died earlyer this year, bought it from www.Itsproper.com

Vegard · 04-14-2010, 06:00 PM

Looking good, the trap, zoom lid and new mirrors work very well together!

the blue potato · 04-14-2010, 08:57 PM

Props to trap and zoom touches. Your balance is perfect - do not over do it

Kolbotn · 04-15-2010, 09:36 AM

Thanks guys!! I think the exterior is done for now exept maby a K.G Works trunk lid spoiler.
Picture taken last night at the first local Mx-5 springmeet:

JC-MX5 · 04-15-2010, 09:41 AM

Lookin great!

Kolbotn · 04-25-2010, 06:51 AM

Thanks JC-MX5

Looks like i'll be going a little lower in a week or so, can't wait!

philrob37 · 04-25-2010, 09:05 AM

Very cool man.

Before I got the RSA bumper I was planning on a trap front lip. It looks great on your car.

Aint the Works Bell QR the shit? I love mine!

Kolbotn · 04-25-2010, 09:55 AM

Yeah, The WB is really nice, couldn't be more happy with it!
I Think The TRAP lip is the best looking lip for the OEM type bumper
