OK, I broke down and bought a Miata. It is just as I expected. The first time I saw one I thought "Well Mazda started making MGBs." It has the feel of a Modern LBC. After reading posts on this list a
Hello derf, make it breath better then leave it alone.. .. k&n + headers/exhaust. .. you don't want to upset the "balance" between power and handling... i gotta say, i've never even driven one of the
So far, having owned one for about 18 hours, it is like a Spridget with A/C, cruise, IRS, injection, 5-speed, console, cupholders, power windows, power mirrors, and a glass rear window. The cupholde
Hi Derf, I was just going to say, when you started asking for more power, that from my experience in the 1.8 Miata there warp speed faster and better handling than a Spridget. I'd just leave it be an
A buddy of mine put an induction kit with a K&N on the end on his '99 Miata. I think it was a huge mistake...it's LOUD and frankly I couldn't see a speck of difference before and after. It seems that
