    There are little things to do on an NB interior that can compliment it, but it is sooo good looking even from the factory. I already have a set of custom Revlimiter gauges, I am half-way through a full LED conversion (have still to do the HVAC and switches). I plan to re-upholster my seats in leather, as well as the door card inserts and handles. I love my wooden Nardi wheel/knob/handbrake, so they won't be going anywhere, and I also plan to do a permanent Nexus 7 install. Last item will be a DIY KG Works gauge cluster, as well as some aluminum vent rings.

    With regards to emblems, a friend of mine has painted his with flat black plastidip spray, and they look awesome (NC not NB though)

    I love those red/black seats. Would love them more if they had a little more bolstering.

    I really want NB2 door cards. CarbonMiata's flat cards are nice, but I'm not too big into the look for Carbon Fiber. After messing around with the passenger door lock mechanism, it does look like I would need the NB2 lock rods for it to fit without cutting, or to just swap the entire doors.

    Speaking of interiors, maybe I can get my hands on some Elise S1 seats (non-Probax, with the inflatable lumbar support). Since my driver seat has a slight tear on the leather, they need upholstering, so I was thinking biting the bullet, buy the Elise ones, add some gel foam and heated pads from my current ones and reupholster them as well. Asking price is 400EUR, which I believe is a bit steep though. Adding foam and re-upholstery gets me around 750... Any suggestions?

    This race car builder is local to me, he rebuilds a lot of classic vintage race cars, he had rebuild both of the 1990 Escort World Challenge Miatas originally built by Rod Millen.


    Here is his latest creation (for sale in the FS section).

    Nothing but the best of the best parts on this dream car.

    Nice blue NB there.

    Check out this thread. Can anyone in this forum Photoshop a NB with Alterna Trunk lid?

    Got stuck in some brutal traffic this evening. It was around 100* outside. Noticed the temp on my Obdlink telling me that the car was reaching 235*. A few minutes later, traffic opened up, magically, and I'm on my way. Temp status high, the engine stutters then dies. Check the codes and I've got p1345 and p0339. Cam sensor must have overheated. Sit on the side of the highway, then c crank it back up and it runs fine. Guess to need to source a new sensor.
    Question though... Isn't 135 a little too high. I've noticed on normal driving in usually around 118-125.
    Is this normal, or should I be looking into my cooking system

    I have been wanting to make my headliner for some time now. Can't decide if I want to do leather or a suede. Will also be looking at a shorty console.

    This is weird, I have been looking into exact the same thing, since the hardtop is out of the car, and face the same exact dilemma..

    Not hard at all, if you have a Miata service manual take a look, I believe there are less than 10 bolts needed to be undone.

    As difficult as any NA dash(I think). One bolt top center, 2 at each side near the doors, and 2 each side near the center console, over the transmission tunnel. Of course you have to drop the steering column, too, which is an extra 4 bolts, and unplug the harness, there are 4-5 points you must disconnect to remove it completely.
