My new Miata...
So I finally got my miata a few weeks ago
It's an 02 LS with 28,000 miles.
I already put on rims and tein flex.
I also just got in my ACT heavy duty clutch and FM lightweight fly.
Also a cannon rear brace and mazda competition motor and diff mounts.
Supercharger or turbo later.
Sorry for the crappy camera phone pics.

black on gold is always beautiful. Congrats on the new ride!

Hey Steve!
I have some questions as I am thinking about getting a Miata soon too (same year range as well).
How is the ride with those Teins? I mean at the softest setting is it almost ok to drive it daily? The miata will be my daily driver as well as auto-x car so I need performance but also some civility.
All I remember about Miatas and their suspensions is that of my friend's 96 miata which rode like a skateboard and killed my back...but I think his shocks were blown by then.

The NA's I test drove all rode like crap, rattletraps. BUT I'm sure that the shocks were blown by then. The NB's are much better, but are still harsh. The tein's make a big difference, stiffer in many ways but a much better ride, keeps you off the bumpstops. The ride is similar to a wrx on coilovers.

unfortunatley it's tan, part of the reason I went gold on the rims was to compliment the tan interior and top. If the car was black/black I might have gone red or white with the rims.
