Vegard is a friend and moderator on ClubRoadster.net. Although Norway has very strict laws regarding vehicle modifications, Vegard pushes the envelope to create his cool MX-5. He is fortunate to have many twisty roads and picturesque settings in which to enjoy his car but the harsh winter weather means he only gets to enjoy top down motoring in spring, summer and fall seasons. The car is currently garaged while Vegard is working on swapping in a Torsen LSD and 6-speed transmission from a NB8C.

I'm happy I decided to stay with green illumination. But if you prefer, revlimiter offers amber illumination color. The pictures were taken using my new iPhone 4S. Quality is pretty good, right?



My only complaint (minor) is that a small portion of the left
corner of the 8 on the tachometer is not illuminated. I suspect this is due to it being x100 rpm versus x1000 for the original gauge face. This puts the 8 a little closer to the center where illumination may be blocked. I believe there is a way to open this up but I didn't want to make any permanent, irreversible modifications to my gauge cluster.

Fabel is very enthusiastic but he seems to receive a lot of criticism for his Miata being so low. He is definitely pushing the envelope and the car must be very difficult to drive on the street. But he is having fun. And that is what Roadster passion is all about.

ClubRoadster.net member mk2tmr2 started with a standard Chaste White 1996 Mazda Miata NA8C and has built his own R2-Limited replica. White paint with red interior is such a classic color combination.
