Nice, welcome! Is that your first Miata?
Thank you! It’s my second miata and 3rd convertible. I was a modded NC owner previously and have a bunch of seat time in all the generations. After I added the racing seat and wider wheels/tires it became apparent that I would need a new daily driver. Here’s a pic of the ND when it’s clean. A4DC2B9D-8F2F-467C-876B-2796ADC3C6F6.jpeg

Sweet. I'm still absent a drive in an ND but I love them all. I'm going to look into picking up another NB1 or maybe an MSM in a year or two. I'll get around to driving an ND at that point, I suppose.

Looks good though!

Definitely drive one. A modded MSM is actually what got me into Miata’s. I saw an ND for 12k the other day with sub 30k Miles. They are getting cheaper!

Whoosh RMM, Short shifter, Shift knob and some winter wheels
installed! Damond OCC to be installed next week. Can’t wait for the RMM to break in. I had fun with a full bolt on 500 Abarth tonight and put some lengths on him. Loving the new car.

15k mile update! Sold the winter tires off my ND to another ND owner and he gave me his 205/45/17 summer tires for free. Will these fit on the stock wheels without rubbing even when lowered? I plan on going Koni Orange and Swift Springs for suspension. Also installed the Damond OCC today. Install was a breeze. 0FBF7317-928E-4CB2-9C0E-D53214DB043E.jpeg

16k mile update. Suspension is on! Waiting for everything to settle to get an alignment. I’ll have to wait until I have the summer wheel/tire setup back on to give a proper review. Happy holidays!

What is the new wheel/tire setup??
Tires are S001 in 205/45/17 I had sitting from my other car. As for the wheels I picked them up in a junkyard off of a focus so I don’t know. They are 17x7.5. Here’s a pic from test fitting

31k Mile update.

S280 and supporting mods installed. I should have done this a long time ago. Currently getting tuned on 93.

33k mile update.
Car is running great. Race durometer mounts installed and 2k miles of reliable fun. I should be installing some tein coilovers whenever I get the chance. Also, went to the dyno this past weekend.
