    the fact that it shows "Function > Form" is the first thing that comes to mind?

    Sooooo why not call this thread function > form? You could have just "responded" to the miata thread with this and achieved the same result.

    I thought this was Function > Form.

    So shouldn't your roof be bare metal and have your roof card and atrocious headliner removed?

    PS: A cotton ball on the top and bottom of your GoPro will eliminated that rattle sound whilst inside the housing.

    I like plaid in small quantities, like on seat centers. A whole headliner is too much for me. But I'm just ribbing you because clearly not all mods for for function. I'd like to see pics of the whole car and specs on the turbo build.

    Half of my post was a joke, and the other half was serious.

    I'm glad to see you saw the latter as advice, although you misinterpreted the former as an attack.

    thanks, camber is -1.5, although the suspension was the same at the time of the video, i then had Style 5s on the car with a different approach of tire fitment to say the least. Car handles great.

    Learn how to change your GoPro to expose properly. all I saw was a plaid headliner, and someone coming at you with drop in HIDs, and now I'm blind.

    Nope and since he wanted to make such a big deal of it by calling out the Miata kid, I feel he deserves the full force of the "CL Rage Cannon".

    Your car looks very well setup for driving like an ass in residential areas on public roads.

    Do you rest your foot on the clutch like you rest your arm on the shifter?
