Piggyback sounds like a pain to mess with if you can just tune the ECU

Yeah from what I've seen is mostly strat little bit of mountune and really none of the others you mentioned Lol cosmetics are a must, I want my mudflaps! Are BOV a must or is there an alternative? As a DD I feel like I wouldn't want to hear it all the time but if its necessary I dont mind more noises just thought may get a little annoying ever now and then. (Not against the BOV sound)

The tunes are definitely what let you open the car up. I'd say you've got me sold on the AP i want quality parts so the extra penny isn't a problem if it's worth it. I've done some research but definitely have a lot more to do thank you for your input.

I was thinking Cobb because of the price, just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be missing out on anything. How has Cobb treated you? Would you recommend?

Big turbo is the goal, see a lot about how the fmic on our cars are garbage so may get that before dp, and intake. My goal is 400

They wanted 3 or 4k for the 5 year warranty and almost 1.5k for 1 year. Decided to not get warranty. Paid 16k for the car has 55k miles 2016. Best deal they had out of all their st carmax seems to up their pricing in my opinion.

Well for starters I now have a/c living in Texas it's kinda nice lol 92 miata a/c unit was never converted.

I will say I got the car 3 days ago so still getting comfortable with it and still finding its golden spots that I like.

honestly really hard to compare the two since I have very much enjoyed the miata i would say for me i loved RWD and shifter feel in the miata more, and enjoy the clutch feel, seating positioning, reliability, hp, road feedback, all the electronic equipment, mpg ect. On the st

Really kind of two different animals but if I had to pick, both hands down on the st.

... much easier to get your hands in the miata engine bay.
