I might know someone who can do an inexpensive custom interior if you're really interested

I'll keep that in mind.

I was thinking about sending it off to CF Element after seeing some of the stuff they have done with the Z wheels.

I'm planning on having the car out at the meet next weekend. The only thing that I need to do soon is fix the steering wheel; the top part has worn through in a place (don't worry -- this was deducted from the purchase price!) so it needs to be reupholstered or replaced. Thankfully I can buy a used wheel in good condition for $75.

With the old wheel I am going to cut the bottom and weld in a flat bar, so it's one of those flat-bottomed D shaped steering wheels. I'll probably have it upholstered in alcantara or something. But that will probably be a $300-500 project so it can wait.

Do you plan on modding it? When u say next weekend do you mean ffx?

Yeah, FFX.

I don't think we're going to mod it. At least not mechanically. There is a front lip and carbon fiber splitter that my gf wants to get for it, but I think that might be about it save for fixing up the steering wheel. At least that's the plan... I can't afford to mod three cars at once.

If my wife wants anything, she knows she wont get it from my broke a$$, so she just gets everything herself....

Sorry, I'm just used to it on this site. Anyone mentions the little roadster, and people start with the ghey jokes and call it slow.

More Miatas are raced on actual circuits in this country than any other sports car. While much of that is due to cost, the fact remains.

Bang/buck sports car par excellance.

But sure, opinions are opinions. I don't mind.

Why do you forget to include the rave reviews the miata gets for its superb door quality on this forum? You sir are a racist!
