    Question What was the FIRST aftermarket part you bought for your Miata?

    What was the FIRST aftermarket part you bought for your Miata? For me it was an intake kit.

    Post some pictures too!

    Are you referring to the first part we bought for our current Miata, or first part we bought for the first Miata we owned?
    I think the first bits I got were the tan leather Brainstorm Eng. shift and handbrake boots...which I'm still using.
    Or it might have been some of those cheesy eBay Altezza tail lights, which I thankfully never used.

    it's been a long time and I don't have any pictures as we had to use films back then, remember those! It was PIAA 1000 driving/fog lights.

    I'll have to sift thru about 10 pages of eBay feedback history to get my first purchase, but, I'm pretty sure it was a set of used stock Bilstein shocks and springs.

    I bought a Voodoo shift knob BEFORE I bought a Miata for it. And about a month later, I bought a rollbar. HDHCDD, which was new to the market at the time.

    The first thing I bought for my turbo '95 R was a DDMWorks 3-gauge panel.

    The first purchase for my '99 was the 6ULs.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.
