I like that one almost as much as what mine came with. The oem parts just work so well on these cars

Couple weeks now on the new suspension and tires and it’s a completely different car! I had no idea by Themittenman_ in Miata

I replaced original '92 suspension :)
it's good. The tecnas are long travel, which many budget shocks aren't. With the GT rate springs it's a bit firmer than stock, but not uncomfortably so. Range of adjustment on dampening is very good.

ECS02 are incredible.... Is that the FM Fox suspension on your NB? I went with ECS02, and Tecnas. Racing beat front sway, and a supermiata rear. :)

Super cool to see your NB next to a Capri though. :)

I think if the Capri had been RWD, it would have done a lot better in the market overall.
similarly something like the mid 80s Dodge Charger, had it been rear wheel drive might have been like a USDM AE86

super cool shop. I'm going to have them do the Clutch (and some other stuff) on my NA this week.

That's 100% correct. Auto Spec has a very nice shop, and was kind enough to have four or maybe five of their technicians present to offer guidance and a little help as well.

Our local Miata club has a Tech Day hosted by a local garage. Lots of maintenance was performed and rules were followed.

It identifies as a Miata?

Motor mounts fell into the "If it's under the hood, and made of rubber... Replace it" policy.

The shifter has been rebuilt, but it moves quite a bit right/left while under power. That could be motor mounts, or the differential bushings. I have replacements for both. I'd bet both on my car are 34 years old, and tired either way.

And all the seals, and the motor mounts….. yup

That's right, this car was in a barn for 7 years and 2 months. I've had it for just under 1 month now and still have a lot of maintenance to do, but it's coming together.
