no problem. my friend had a miata and is a member. i think they have a meet somewhere around here. i just know general stuff about miatas : they're reliable, engines and drivetrain can take a beating, and they're extremely fun cars, atleast my friend's was.

for aftermarket parts, look up racing beat and flyin miata.

Yea I know about racing beat, my buddie stuart has a first gen rx7 so that all I hear from his mouth. Can anyone go to these meets I would like to see what the mazda/miata scene is all about. Comming from vw no one welcomed anyone.
