As I said in my introduction I won the Miata lottery. I paid $600 for a NA with hardtop. So far I have done the standard lube and filter and today completed the 1.8l brake upgrade. I am reading like crazy and trying to figure out the best path for upgrades. I love the simplicity of the Miata compared with anything else I have owned. My goal is to create a daily driver that can trounce an e46 M3 - bastard at work needs to be taught a lesson.....
This is my wishlist as of today - I would love to hear your opinions.
Thanks
So I bought my first Miata and fell in love. I got a great deal and am going through the car replacing and upgrading what I can to make it what I want.
