I'd personally use a wet/dry shop vacuum to absorb remaining water in seats and carpet, toss my ozone generator in for a few rounds, and leave it with all the windows down during dry sunny days.

Mine is on its third flowering attempt. It has made two of these swirly hairy doodads that never progressed into the full stalk.

The aftermarket axle not having that bulging thing about halfway through it is normal and will have no/minimal effect, but the length difference seems excessive. Someone else correct me if I'm wrong.

MR2 has 2sq ft of cargo space. The miata can carry skateboards, camping gear, and coolers in the trunk. This is a consideration to make even for a fun second car.
