After having many NA's, and NB's it was time to go with the MSM, Mazdas first boosted factory car, I had read many threads so I knew what I was getting into. I knew what mods that I wanted to do to keep the little 1.8 running for a good long while. After looking at many MSM's and color choices, VIN history I decided to get a Black Mica, all stock unmolested car. I found a car that fit the bill in Ohio, I had a friend in the area go take the car for a test drive and give me the low down, and additional pictures, it was perfect for me at this time in my MX-5 life.
The MSM as I received it from its northern home:
After a test drive, I knew that the heavy 17" Hart wheels had to go, I had kept the wheels from my 10th AE and they had brand new tires, a great improvement, what a differecne 15" wheels made.
Next was to fix the broken power antenna, and replace the factory fuel lid with a shiny one.
