Wish they carried the regular ones on eBay. $4 cheaper from their site, once figure in shipping. Of course have OBO on Ebay though, could probably get cheaper that way.
Scratch that, just found them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/94-95-96-97-98-Toy...#ht_3431wt_1344 -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Yep, they're Sokie Tech. Such a great mod. Welp, in other news, looks like my starter felt left out of the part-replacing frenzy and went out today with no warning. Just fantastic... -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Here's the pretty much finished product for now until I finishing paying off the bit that I owe for the rebuild. Then it's back to modding!

I was in the process of rebuilding the motor, so I didn't have much money for better-quality wheels. Eventually, I'll end up with a set of RPF1s or Varrstoen ES wheels. Eventually. But for now, these are plenty wide and not nearly as sunken-in as my old ones were. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

I was wanting an Exedy OEM, but no one had one in stock and they were all back-ordered, so I went for a SACHS OEM clutch, instead. I felt like my old clutch still felt totally fine, but after driving on a new clutch and resurfaced flywheel, I can definitely tell the difference. On another note, 500 miles to go! I put on 200 miles just today. Country roads are fantastic for breaking engines in, I've realized. There's no one around to be bothered by your erratic driving speeds.
