You're doing it right. Thank you. If the Miata had the power I'd reciprocate...

I'll be happy to see Autocross puctures.

I second that, I haven't gone since October. I've been lazy fixing a ball joint...and the DS axle on the Celica is clicking...

Get crackin!

The one thing I don't miss about my '89 was the leak top. Then again I'm sure someone makes new seals these days.

Ugh all these supra posts make me want one.

Could get a MKIII if you hadn't bought the Subaru and all of those Celica parts.

I like mkIIIs but I really want a MKIV, and I like my Subie and celica Heck Id take an NA stick mkiv at this point though.

Could always get a SC300, fundamentally it's the coupe version of the MKIV for a fraction of the price. Sure the SC weighs more, but there's a lot of things that can be changed without effecting the car's comfort. I.E. get some Supra front seats, remove the full size spare, replace the stock exhaust and rims, etc... It was possible to save like 150-200 pounds just doing stuff like that, ridiculous. If I could ever find one with the 5-speed I'd like to give them a try.

I need to toss up a photo of the Mazda with it's new wheels/tires.

That's a nice shade of bluish-grey.

Thanks, called 'slate blue pearl'. I don't think it looks as nice in person but it does in pictures oddly. Even more oddly the wheels make the color of the car look nicer, I can't figure that one out at all. This summer it's getting a good buff down and detail so it's easier to maintain the gloss and shine over the summer and next winter. I need to touch up some things on it too, like the paint on the leading edge of the hood before rust sets in there, on the inside of edge of the trunk too, re-line the wheel wells with undercoating and re-under coat the bottom of the car as well.

Now it needs more low.

Nooo no no. We get snow, this is the winter car. Celica is for low, 626 (Stitch) is for winter/foul weather and as such keeps stock ride height and stock suspension parts only. No lowering, no upgrading the sway bars. Brakes and wheels are strictly safety enhancements, the stock suspension is just fine. Mazda did well enough there for a sedan with predictable stable handling. My only desire are those rear disc brakes I know just won't happen. I will replace the worn original front struts this summer I think though and the lower control arms due to worn out hydro bushings.

Fair enough.

I traded in my daily (2007 G35s sedan) and picked up this 2015 IS250 F-Sport.
