NC checking in... Click for gigantic I absolutely love this car. I had a really hard time driving an NB. My knees were hitting the wheel at every turn. I'm only 6'1" and 185lbs, and I found it to be quite cramped. Great car though. Also, if anyone is looking to buy an NC, mine is for sale

Moritastic posted:Where are you at? And why are you selling it? I'm in Phoenix, AZ I'm selling it because I could use the extra money I would save on payments. I've been on the fence about it for a little while, but I realized that I can buy another one when I'm ready.

IOwnCalculus posted:On the topic of tires: Our '99 needs new shoes. I would go get the super-sticky Azenis without a second thought, except for two facts: You are buying tires for the same EXACT reasons I bought tires. Daily use, mostly highway, and occasionally attacking the poo poo out of 89A  .I have had Goodyear Eagle F1 DS-G3s on the NC for a little over 20k, and they still have quite a bit of tread left. Awesome tire, especially for our weather.

IOwnCalculus posted:89A is seriously the best day-trip in this goddamn state if you want to actually drive. I've heard 191 is even better but it would make for one LONG day and that wouldn't even have you stopping anywhere other than gas and food. There is a stretch of road between Apache Junction and Tortilla Flat. That should be pretty close to your place right? Hit that sometime, amazing road.

Looks like 195/60-14 is the smallest size they come in, I'm guessing that fits in the Miata just fine. Probably going to order them from Vulcan unless someone else has them signficantly cheaper.

A little while ago, my top got slashed. I took the car to Unique Auto Upholstery in Scottsdale, AZ, and they ordered a new top from Mazda. It finally came in on Tuesday. I took the car in in the morning, and then I noticed that there was a detailing place right next door. I had them do a full detail after the top was put on. I took a few shots while it was parked outside the detail shop. This is what it looks like now...        There was also a fully race prepped STi and a black Murcielago that I managed to snap a few pics of, if anyone is interested.

I have a problem with my car. In the mornings, I start up my car, let it run for about a minute, then go on my way. As soon as I get going, the car jerks. It doesn't matter what gear I'm in, but it kinda stutters, and jerks, and the tach needle bounces a little. Now, this happens a little more when it's cold outside, but it goes away after 2-3 minutes. It's an NC with a 6spd if that matters. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is that just the way it is when it's cold?

grover posted:The side mirrors are too small- they're fine when the top is down, but really need to be bigger for better visibility with the top up. Not a showstopper, but one of the few things I didn't like about the Miata. While sitting in the drivers seat, put your head against the left window, and move the mirror to where you can only see a small amount of the car. Now put your head in the center of the car, facing forward, and move the right mirror to only see a little bit of the car. It takes a little while to get used to, but you can actually trust your mirrors. If a car is coming up in the next lane, you will see it in your rear-view mirror, and as soon as it starts to disappear, it pops up in your side mirror, and as soon as it leaves that, you start to see it outside.
