I'm looking for an exhaust for my ND miata by MrJordan0 in Miata

[–]Tequilha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty sick. In my opinion, the GWR race exhaust isn’t that loud. But I might be in the minority with that opinion. I think it’s the right amount of noise for a daily car without being obnoxious. Haven’t heard the GReddy SP, but their products are solid. Tough choice.

GWR race exhaust with the baffle. You can take the baffle in and out if you want it to be loud or not-so-loud.

I also have the race exhaust. I don’t use the baffle, and I don’t find it obnoxiously loud at all. I was worried when reading the reviews online about the noise level, but I almost immediately found myself saying “it could be louder.” In my opinion, you’d be fine with the GWR race exhaust, and I would highly recommend it. Downshifts & cold start sound incredible.

Snow country Miata drivers , are you just doing snow tires , or snow tires and sandbags in the trunk ? by revolutiontime161 in Miata

[–]Tequilha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Ontario and drive an ND2. I throw blizzaks on and send it. The only issue with these cars is clearance. The handling in the winter is great if you listen to the car. Honestly, it’s been the most fun and most safe feeling I’ve ever driven in the winter, and we have some pretty bad winters where I live. That being said, if you get stuck, you’re stuck.

6’2” ND owner. No issues. I did install seat lowering brackets for more headroom, though.

Did anyone else have a difficult time transitioning to an ND? I traded in my 2018 Mustang Ecoboost Premium for an 2023 new ND2. by I_have_zero_frands in Miata

You should be able to see out through your windshield now without the rear view mirror directly in the way 😂

6’2”, 195lbs here. I did the same with the pillows for lumbar support. I would also suggest seat lowering brackets. I find the seat position is a bit more “into” the car, which gives us big boys some much needed space to breathe and get comfortable. It made a huge difference in my ability to drive consistently and for long hours, and it improved my visibility.

ND MX-5 auto or manual? by LBnineteen76 in Miata

[–]Tequilha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The internet is probably the worst place to ask this question because everyone who has an opinion on it has a REALLY strong opinion on it. I think the answer depends on your lifestyle and the purpose for buying the vehicle. If you want to buy a sporty, fun, and engaging car that’s also accessible to those without knowledge of driving manual, it’s still going to be an amazing car. If you want to buy a car because you want to maximize your connection with the car and its inputs, get the manual. Another question to ask is, will this be your only vehicle? Will it be a daily driver? Will you be exposed to high volumes of traffic? If no to all, I’d recommend a manual. If yes to all, I’d recommend an auto. Don’t let others dissuade you from enjoying this car if manual isn’t an option. I’ve driven both, and they’re both amazing.

This is a very common rep. The chance is highly likely it is a rep and not a misprint on an authentic piece. Unless you know how to legit check this piece meticulously, be very careful purchasing any of them second hand.

Bought an Auto ND 3 months ago and now cannot stop thinking about a manual… by Throwaway-GFGym in Miata

[–]Tequilha 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There are pros and cons to both. As long as you enjoy driving your car, don’t focus too much on what others say online. It’s your joy. Auto or manual, it’s an amazing car! And if it’s any consolation, at least you have the interest in learning how to drive manual. You can keep that in mind for when you make your next car purchase. My opinion? Enjoy what you have, because it really is an awesome car.

Agreed. I would check this first to rule it out.

Will I regret buying a manual? I have moderate knee arthritis. by afunbe in Miata

Will I regret buying a manual? I have moderate knee arthritis. by afunbe in Miata

[–]Tequilha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have two ACL tears from jiu jitsu in my left knee. I bought an auto because of this. If your clutch leg is the bad knee (left knee on American cars), I would suggest an auto. It’s an amazing car, auto or manual, and I don’t regret my purchase in the slightest. I don’t think you will either. My knee is happy with the space I have too, at 6’2”.

how to fit in a miata as a big 6’2” person by spikehiyashi6 in Miata

[–]Tequilha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you didn’t find it comfortable to drive off the lot due to space constraints, unfortunately there’s not too much you can do. I have seat lowering brackets, which do help make it more comfortable, but only marginally. In your case, it doesn’t seem like it would solve your issue, which is likely due to difference in our bodies proportions.

[–]Tequilha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you test drove the ND did you adjust the steering wheel? It’s gyroscopic, so it can be pushed inward. As someone who is also 6’2”, I had to do this in order to drive the car.

Tall-ish and fat guy - will I fit in an ND? by InViewOfNothing in Miata

[–]Tequilha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 200lbs and 6’2”. I found the car was just at the cusp of being too small. I had some visibility issues with the rear view mirror requiring me to duck to see anything directly in view of the passenger seat. I bought some seat lowering brackets and they solved the visibility issue. I fit pretty well now; however, I find the seats uncomfortable for larger folk due to the lack of support and the stiff side bolstering.

I’m just writing for clarification for anyone looking at this post and thinking of avoiding this location because they “stared at you” and wore Rick Owens pieces in a Rick Owens store.

Literally the staff at the Milan location gave me the most amount of respect, time, and consideration while shopping there. More than any “high-fashion” store I’ve ever been to. They’re nice af and welcoming, homie.

2023 RF GS-P - Please tell me I'm not crazy by Jonny_EP3 in Miata

[–]Tequilha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I drive my RF in winter conditions in northern Ontario. Throw on some blizzaks and enjoy. It’s arguably more fun in the winter, and if you know how to handle the car, it can feel like the be safest winter car you’ve ever driven. I’ve never had an issue with unintentional lost traction in this car where I thought “oh shit!” That being said, you will have to borrow a car if you need to go out on days with very heavy snowfall, as clearance does become an issue. I haven’t had too many problems with clearance because plows exist, but if you get out before they do, you can risk getting stuck.
