    Hi! New Miata owner from Northern California (Bay Area)

    Hi! I'm a new miata owner residing in Northern California (Bay Area). I just recently purchased a 1990 'A Package' miata in hopes to build a track car. Looking forward to learning a lot from you guys since this is my first miata coming off of a long span of Mustang ownership.

    Cheers!
    Ian

    Welcome Ian, Wow, that's a great color! How's the interior and engine bay? Any other modifications?

    Thanks Jim! It looks a lot better in the pictures. The paint is decent, but it's a cheap paint job and definitely not a show car. The black interior is decent (not missing anything) but again, not show quality. It came with a bunch of suspension mods, roll bar, team dynamics wheels, etc. engine is completely stock with the original 1.6L. Just a run of the mill miata that I plan to beat up on at the track

    Right click, save image as...
    Love the color scheme. Subtle but hot. I can see why you chose that Miata. Well done.

    Thanks everyone! The color is definitely unique and looks great on the car, but unfortunately it wasn't a top notch paint job so it has its flaws. Needless to say, it does the job, especially for a car that will eventually become a track car.
