Miata Owners?

[dghii]

Good for you! I had a great 1990 Miata A package, purchased slightly used in spring of '91 for $13.4K. I owned the car for six years and enjoyed it as much the day I sold it as the day I purchased it.

I still look at used Miatas everyday on CL. As I currently have two Boxsters, 84 Alfa Spider and '04 350Z Roadster, I don't know what I'd do if I found great deal on a Miata. Kind of hope I don't have your luck!

What kind of roll bar are you going to put in it? I am surprised to see that a car with all those extra race tires and rims and suspension upgrades didn't have one?

The hard dog hard core bar seems to be very popular and recommended to me as the bar to get for my son's Miata.

PS the Motive European adapter for bleeding Porsche brakes is the same size as the clutch hydraulic fluid on the Miata (at least my son's 95 Miata) so we used that to flush his clutch fluid this weekend.

When I had my 99 Miata I had the Hard Dog installed. What prompted me was that my daughter and I were nearly rearended (well you know a regular car sits higher than a Miata) . So this prompted me to get it installed immediately. It made the Miata look much more rugged especially with the top down and felt a lot safer....

My 350Z is what pushed me to the boxster eventually (although mine was a Grand Touring Coupe and originally wanted a Cayman over a vert). The Boxster is 10x more fun to drive but the 350Z was fast and had 6 speed with a bit more grip (275 rear, 245 front x18), but I find the ability to slide the Boxster around quite enjoyable

I almost had a Miata. My coworker was going to give me his to build a track car, but he gave dibs to his brother who finally picked it up on the last day of the ultimatum to do so...but I probably wouldn't have purchased the Boxster if I had gotten the Miata along with my DD BMW. So, it worked out...
