I was gonna post some pics of my Miata w/ the Tein SS I just installed and a small write up for anyones reference/use, but to my surprise their is no Mazda subsection of the forum..

Sad considering Mazda is GREAT!

I like the miatas. I was looking at the mazdaspeed ones for a while. then I bought my civic si instead

yeah... surprising considering all the other sections there are... I didn't notice that one.

Well if they are gonna add one I have a good/short write up on how to install shocks&struts/coilovers on NA-NB Miatas w/ some quality pics.. If not, well then ill just enjoy the SS.

great car, you'd be surprised at how roomy they are inside (even though they look small). Im 6' fit fine and drive it 50 miles a day.

The main thing is, the smile on your face from driving it will never go away, and now that I just installed these coilovers its multiplied x10. Truely a great car, oh ya, RWD>

my aunt had one and I loved it. I concidered one because they are like a rear wheel drive crx. Small and agile

or you could buy an S2K...

more powerful, RWD, Honda reliability, keep everything cool about the miata, and still keep 50/50 weight distribution.

yellowrexsi · #9 (**permalink**) March 6th, 2006, 11:03 AM

question, did they make the miata with a solid roof, or just a factory hard top. I wasn't sure about this

I've driven both s2k and miata, and even though I love the s2k and damn near everything about it, to me it just didn't compare to the miata, the engine of course it badass but I didnt buy the miata for the engine, thats why I got rid of my JDM h22 prelude.

Both great cars though.

If they make a mazda subsection let me know

Ill make sure to mention it. in the meantime we have an imports subforum that i think is still there you can post up in there in the meantime and if the demand for a mazda subforum rises we can add one.

I would love to have a miata with an s2k motor, i saw it on a car magazine, its badass (Superstreet mag i think)

Mustangeater · #14 (**permalink**) March 6th, 2006, 02:28 PM

Ive driven a miata was quite impressed it was street legal but full caged for auto-x. A doctor owned it and i always did the service work and alignments on it, was quite nice hard as hell to get into though with a cage.

Ever since I lowered it w/ the Tein SS it's like I have to sit on the floor, then get in. Cool w/ me though doesnt bother me at all, and its also fat chick proof because we all know fatties can't squat down to their knees, so now they'll prolly look and be like "f that, its too low."

Speaking of which i raised the front like 1" and god damn its a PITA to do it, you never know exactly how much higher your going until the wheel is on and the car is lowered, I wanted it to be 12" from fender wall to hub but im like 2-3cm off.. after going into a parking garage today and the side of the car scraping on the speed bump I realized it needs to be higher cause that sound of scrapage almost made me shed a tear in pain for the car.

would be a hell of a combo I must admit.

2300lb car + f20... god damn.

never made production with a solid roof(Im guessing your asking if it was ever made as a coupe? if so no). Only factory hardtop no coupes.

Like dem rappers be sayin though boyy.. "TOP DOWN, CHROMIN SPINNIN!" minus the chrome!

yellowrexsi · #19 (**permalink**) March 6th, 2006, 03:23 PM

thanks, wasn't sure. I don't like rag tops and i am not a fan of aftermarket roofs. Just wondered

Ricky · #20 (**permalink**) March 6th, 2006, 03:28 PM

we didnt beleive there was a big enough call for mazda yet so you got import forum. if you get enough mazda members to join the board we will create it
