Hello, from Kentucky!

[Batmans]

Those are 99' Base seats. I'm trying to locate some nice MSM seats, but they sell quick. I've recently purchased a MSM Steering Wheel and door sills. I've decided to make my car a MSM clone. So I'll be selling my 03' interior. Here's my MSM door sills and steering wheel that just arrived yesterday.

Hi Tiffany, welcome (I know, I'm a little slow). Nice to see you fit some Recaros in your old Miata (although I can't see the pictures, probably due to this dumb connection we have), I keep meaning to measure a set I have for my RX-7 to see if they will fit in mine.

With all you are posting about the work you are doing, you should start a build thread in that subforum.

Red/Black much better!

I never had recaros in any of my Miata's. Are you referring to the Ws6 seats in my 1st gen?

If you want a Mazdaspeed clone, you're going to be looking for an NB2 front bumper along with smoked NB2 headlights and Mazdaspeed front spoiler and rear bumper. Then there's the Harts Racing wheels, big brakes, suspension parts and so on. I'm assuming you're not even talking turbo even. Might as well sell your '99 and buy a Mazdaspeed considering the cost.

Yes I was, I thought that was one of the Firebirds that had Recaros. Looks like I was mistaken.

I used to own a 04' MSM. I'm very familiar with Mazdaspeeds. If you read my posts then you would know I am not selling this car. If I wanted another MSM I would buy one. This is my 8th Miata and I bought this car for $2500. I have barely and money into this car and my progress so far is going great with only having it a few months, and barely spending any money. I have friends that are Mazda Dealers and buy wrecked Miata's including MSM at auctions. I get parts for nothing compared to others paying full price.

What do MSM's go for now? Let's say; $7,500-$14,000 depending on the Seller and mileage. I have $3,000 in my car (including already purchased MSM parts) and I could have a nice MSM clone for about $7,000 when it's all said and done.
