    Hey from AZ

    Hey everyone. Found this website after messing around at CR for too long. Never really enjoyed that website much, this community seems much more welcoming

    I picked up my Miata at the end of last year. It's a 1991, and it had definitely seen better days. It's super high mileage, and wasn't really loved.



    After getting it one of the first things I had done was got a Hard Dog roll bar installed.



    I also removed all the crappy, half torn tint.



    And this is my favorite picture of it so far.



    It's still in rough shape, but some of that is actually changing tomorrow. I have a new black soft top in hand and I'm going to spend all of my day off swapping it out. No more duct tape rear window for me! I have a new Sparco Sprint 5 ready to replace the drivers seat, once I get off my butt and figure out how to fit it to the rails. I'm currently working on getting an NB steering wheel seeing as the current one is fairly trashed (and sticky...) and I prefer the style of the NB wheel. Future plans include a 1.8 swap, and maybe even a super charger if my income allows for it

    That's the same way a friend of mine described it. Seems about right too

    Welcome bro, a cheap buffer and some time should make that paint new again. Correct me if I'm wrong but the early miatas should have a single stage paint, which is easy to buff out. Whereas, the later miatas have the 2 stage paint, and when the clear coat is bad=new paint job.I definitely agree with you about the CR forum, this place is much more welcoming.
