Happy Friday, people! After 10+ years, I'm STILL going back and forth with myself on a lightweight crank pulley from either Perrin or NST or even Tomioka Racing. We all know the arguments for both...

I've owned 5 NA Miatas and I'm so used to needing to replace those with the timing belt. I know this isn't that, but I figured since it was so accessible, why not? Is there nowhere in the manual...

A fixed bucket seat with the proper safety ratings alone and the 3 point belt working as it should is as safe as the stock seat. Sure you don't get the side air bags but you're in an FIA SFI seat.

Sard CF wing in addition to OEM Toyota spoiler?

I've been throwing this idea around of using a Sard spoiler but leaving my Toyota spoiler on. I think they both look great and would complement each other. Anyone think I'd have fitment issues?
