From GSR hatches to E36 M3's lol, just picked up a '99 Miata, and I gotta say, this thing is the most funnest thing I've ever driven!







Next mods will be full suspension, gloss black hard top, and new wheels.

very nice, the wheel gap was always horrible on the nb miata but as you said the tein basics will fix that. add in a rollbar(not style bar) and it will give the chassis much less flex. looks good though, keep us posted on your progress

Excellent choice.

Have you joined tampabaymiatas.net? You will find lots of local Miata enthusiasts there.

Kenny is that you? Everytime I turn around it seems there's a new car.

A turbo miata would be fun, but you should ride in my friend's SC miata (the one w/ the hard top)...its a beast!

Yes it's me, I'm in Tally for the weekend too.

This is my 10th car, and the 5th white one I've owned...

My stepdad has a s/c'ed 94R, yeah it's a 170whp beast too.


UPDATED PIX: New mods include GC coilovers, Bilstein shocks, hard top (will paint soon), hid's/yellow fogs, and S2K antenna lol.

Cool, Chris said he was gonna be in Tally this weekend too, I haven't quite made it up there yet.

My butt dyno tells me Todds is around 200, and he still hasn't gotten it tuned yet!

Love the mods, the car looks 10x better now that its lowered and the lights and antenna are a nice touch. Don't bother painting the hard top, it looks like the cherry on top of an ice cream sunday lol
