I aquired a Miata a while back and at present the softtop has been removed for repairs to the top and rear window. I'm currently using the optional hardtop. Since I've made a change to the original c

Yup, those are the ones. Fortunately for you the Miata Club Sport is a 2003 options package that is available with no soft top. If people are really being picky, then you'll have to wait until Januar

By the rules, you should be running D Prepared (or maybe CSP, since the '03 Club Sport does have a "soft-top delete" option). But if it otherwise meets the requirements for Stock category, it's unlik

All models on the same line in the SP class are interchangable. Since I believe that the '99 top can be installed on an earlier car, it is an equivalent part. The real "proof" is that Andy Hollis (re

All Miatas are listed on the same line in the SP classification listings, so in theory this would apply to all of them. Myself, I'll wait to see a ruling from the SEB before I pull the top out of my

I'd guess, though, he'd have to run with the hard top on to be legal though...but at roughly the same weight will stiffen the chassis up and a good upgrade for those shorter than some of us... Charle

The Club Sport's hard top is probably removable, and therefore can be removed for stock class competition. I don't think you would be required to run with the hardtop for CSP. At most, you might be r

The soft top is removable too (just takes more work)...I would think they'll look at having some sort of top on the car if it came with one as being "normal road touring equipment"...but who knows...

I meant "removable" in the sense used in the Solo2 rules. It attaches using 6 manually operated latches, and is designed to be installed and removed by the end user. It works just like a big T-top, a

John, your argument makes complete sense to me. Where is the "removable" stuff in the rules...I'd like to have a look. Seems to me, though, that if British roadsters can remove their tops, side curta
