That fastback hardtop is awful.

The bikini top looks like the bimini top for my boat. If all you want is shade on a sunny day I suppose it would work just fine.

Don’t know why people are hating on that fastback top, I think it looks way better than the normal hard top. It reminds me of the Spoon s2k roof. Basically It looks like a Miata coupe, which Mazda should have started making in like 1992.

I agree. I like that hardtop. It’s different.

Probably because the spoon top looks fantastic on the S2k and this looks like someone tried to replicate it for a miata and got the entire car too close to a heat gun.

I def. liked the Miata coupe concepts…not sure if they ever made production models though…maybe just for the JDM market?

I love slammed miata’s with a stock hardtop. Looks soooo good. Just do that.

New steering rack / hub / swaybar should all be in next week.  
New Nose bushing for the diff in the coming weeks.  
To do list isn’t too long.  
Had to bleed my slave yesterday - I think its getting air in and is going to need replacing.

Also. Still attempting to devise an air intake.  
Recently a few people have done this.

AirRaid Intake

 ![http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/orion4096/4502db8e.jpg?t=1331434461](http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/orion4096/4502db8e.jpg?t=1331434461)

LS7 Intake (removes the front bumper support)

 ![http://www.flyinmiata.com/projects/targa/images/img_0415.jpg](http://www.flyinmiata.com/projects/targa/images/img_0415.jpg)

 ![http://www.flyinmiata.com/projects/targa/images/img_0424.jpg](http://www.flyinmiata.com/projects/targa/images/img_0424.jpg)

Would have to replace my latch with aerocatch latches and for some options make my bumper look like this

 ![http://www.flyinmiata.com/V8/CF-55/images/img_0477.jpg](http://www.flyinmiata.com/V8/CF-55/images/img_0477.jpg)

Currently wondering if I can hack up and LS7 intake and use a filter like the AirRaid filter to make it short enough. Might not get enough air/fit.

Other than that.  
Only other plans are paint/bikini top and rollbar. Maybe some fancy exhaust tips and interior bits.
