i saw these and fell in love with the konig daylite's.
research has found they are 10lb a wheel.

im thinking 16" wrapped in some delicious nitto envos (max camber)

i think the yellow on black will accent the interiors momo atomic theme.

the interior starts after the roll bar which will be accented with yellow pin stripe.

hate it or not... i think it will be very clean looking when its all in place :)

I think it'll look pretty cool. I like the wheels, although I would stick to a 15 for cheaper tyres and because I think 16's only really work on the NB's.



oh yeah... brand ***** :lol:

its a series by momo... the steering wheel matches the rest... so what if it says drifting.

its got class... its pay for the product when it comes to cars skimp on the price you get **** parts.

i know my stuff will also be guaranteed for LIFE, i only gott buy it once if it breaks they replace it...

quality over quantity.

so its worth it.

now on the other hand... yes i relize the cheezyness of the "drifting" written on the wheel but really after all this is put in... that will be the least eye catching... i picked the wheel out because i like its sceam not because it says drifting.... that like compairing me to a honda guy who buys anything that says JDM and slaps it on there car LOL![hr]
oh yeah... and **** you Kurt... go play shuffleboard and let the kids play with the toy cars!

Well as long as the interior parts are labeled "drifting", I guess you won't need any performance parts for the rest of the car. You know...suspension/wheels/tires/brakes/boost/all motor. Interior comes first, that's my mantra. :whistle:

Just ****in' with ya. Don't have a cow. :P

The seat looks badass, just curious though, is it a unique design for drifting at all?

I saw those at a dealer parts show that I went to with my dad earlier this year. I was looking at the gold ones for my car, in 15".

I looked around for weights and couldn't find them at the time. Hearing that the weight might be that lite makes me more interested...

in response... to calling me the MOST offensive name in the book.... i must kill you now...

but seriously? im working on the car as a whole THESE ARE IDEAS NOT EXECUTED IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER!

i take what everyone says into consideration.. in this case the good... everyone so far seems to like it... so your words are like my vote... useless

KTHNXBI :P

if the drifting thing bothers everyone ill chance the wheel.... no... wait.... its MY car.. sooo bite me :)


In response to the second question yes thy are specifically designed to not allow body movement and keep your arms clear for any quick arm movements and to allow you to have more knee space for various driving methods.

plus the design wouldn't be to OVER THE TOP for daily seats :)

however, it should look cute, eventhough your car is white lol

but yes get SUSPENSION FIRST! then harddog, then everything else lol

I think a couple of those items would look ok, but if you were to get all of them my head would explode from all the black and yellow..

Sometimes things can match TOO well.

jesseealexander
10-16-2008, 01:48 AM
why not just get all APC stuff? it will all match just like the momo stuff...

im sorry, but all that yellow is a little too over the top IMO. i think it will look ricey and not "clean" at all.

and the pedals are 100% rice. im sorry. screw on pedals will feel like **** and make it harder to heel-toe than it already is in a miata. make sure you wear NARROW shoes if you do get them.


but in the end, its your car so do what you want. im just adding my opinion. if you dont want other peoples opinions, then why post it on a public forum?

The seats are a little over the top for me, not to mention i'd bet they won't fit in a Miata. Finding a seat that fits in a Miata isn't very easy. I think it's the logos all over the place that make it rough on the eyes. Honestly, i'm not feeling it.... but that's just my opinion and im not going to not talk to you because of what you want to do to your car :lol:

make it harder to heel-toe than it already is in a miata.

Wait, you just said that heel-toe is hard in a Miata? No wonder you bought a BMW :rolleyes::lol:

theres not alot of room inder the dash for feet in a miata, and the gas pedal is really close to the tranny tunnel. it was easier in my ford aspire and easiest SO FAR in the e30, i had to sorta re-learn going from the aspire to the miata.

Uhm... Isn't this car an oil burning pig (from previous posts)? Why don't you not spend money on crap and instead start saving for an engine refresh.

Setting all my domo/homo jokes aside...:D...I think it could work...if you went back to stock white. Just keep it simple, white, black, & yellow. If you retain the artwork I think another color accent that picks up a color in your graffiti might work even better. Thats just my .02 opinion. Your results may vary. :)

i posted it on a public forum for opinions from people that matter :P
^_________________________________________________ ____^ - Jesse


V--------------------------------------------------------------V -EVERYONE

New people on here giving the .02 kinda makes me laugh considering the knowledgeable ones know me in person and know that i ask questions for answers not some johnny come lately with a beat *** Miata that just got the car :)

plus to hate a car is to hate the driver and well, not may people that know me and the story of my car hate me or my car. :cool:

its confusing to many why i choose to stand out. its because im a leader not a follower... and guess what... people are copying the graffiti now so now, with that being done, im switching it up... 1 step ahead of the game, my style is my style i create not copy :)

my car runs great it handles to my liking (with what little its has been done to the suspension)

its never died its never given me problem (concerns yes but not problems)

and ill be god damned if everywhere i go theres not 1 person that comments, complements, or just all out thinks its THE MOST unique one they have ever seen.


this is a forum for discussion, help, trouble shooting, etc. etc. not bashing and name calling, leave that to I.A. or elementary school.

now I'm not from a motor head family OR had grown up with any motor head friends
IM still learning, and pardon me for asking opinions, questions and options....
If questions were stupid then there would be no knowledge, no progression, no advancement; and if i want to be taken seriously i have to learn from those around me, and build my knowledge through mistakes and dumb ****.... im not afraid to ask "stupid questions" because the next time someone brings it up i can help further that new guys knowledge....

when you see a "stupid post" (I.A. not counting because thats %100 of the topics)
think about where you started.. you weren't born with the knowledge and god damn it don't try and bring someone down in there search for answers... lend a hand walk them through... who knows the guy you help out could be the next F1 driver and i know if i ever go somewhere with this lifestyle ill die before i let everyone that helped me go un-thanked.

theres my $300 worth... now think about that.

(this isn't wasn't and never will be directed towards any one person THIS IS FOR EVERYONE)

will be reposting in another thread for people to discuss

I personally have nothing against you or your car or what've you done to it. I have to honestly say, the artwork is very well done. :)

I know you said you were not posting that directly towards anyone but I just had to clarify.

This was pretty much my thinking as well. Multiple themes just seemed like they'd be a little busy all on the same car. But hey I've never seen anything like it before so it might look great when actually done.

And pay no attention to my ricer jabs. I'm as much of a sarcastic jackass as the next guy. :P
