Rich, did you put one in the rear too? Rule of thumb for Miatas is always put it in the rear

I put it in the rear whenever I can.

NC's are easily balanced with rear sway adjustments....I have the fronts at mid with the rears set to soft. I want to minimize oversteer when my son starts tracking this. Handles fan-fuckingtastic right now. It's dialed in/aligned well.

Speaking of putting it in the rear, 35 grand for a fucking Miata? Holy shit.

Yup........I think I'll just stick to mine. Just had it tuned yesterday after the new header/midpipe combination was added. New LSD installed and now we are ready to roll to VIR again.

Pic of my son @ VIR a couple weeks ago:



Getting tuned:

Fixed this post since I got off on a wrong foot. New to the forum and looking to very soon join the ranks of Miata ownership. Currently drive a speed 3 but I've been drooling over Miatas for years!

Saw the original post, didn't appreciate it. Thanks for editing it to be worthwhile.

So, if there was one piece of advice anyone would offer to someone getting ready to jump in to Miata ownership, what would it be?
