And ended up buying him this… ![http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/JeremyTabak/50F3EA2B-9FAD-4EF1-BF8E-AAD0056CF09C.jpg](http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/JeremyTabak/50F3EA2B-9FAD-4EF1-BF8E-AAD0056CF09C.jpg) Ok, so I’m a little excited to use it myself. 95 Miata 5 speed black cloth ugly 14" wheels new tires new top 61k miles storage until spring Bought it off my mother in law. I looked at it for her 5 or 6 years ago when she picked it up. She has put 3k miles on it haha. She got an awesome deal on this car then so it cost me less than what most miatas go for with way more miles. I paid for it and my parents will pay the insurance and we both enjoy. ---

Still have the cobra. Not sure what I’m doing with that. Been putting money into the gti I just got and now that needs a clutch from getting a tune. More handling for that car and definitely coilovers for the miata and I’m thinking team dynamics pro race 1.2 wheels. I have to say, I’ve never seen a car enthusiast group discuss spring rates and shock lengths the way miata people do. I’ve looked into it before I bought this and I need to figure out a plan. ---

I really figured this would go towards incest seeing as I will be sharing this with my dad. Been reading like crazy about coilover setups. I think it’s cool how many guys mod parts and do some solid diy set ups, but I’m the kind of guy that doesn’t mind paying for a well engineered product. Support the guys that support our scene. That said I’ve been looking at Fat Cat Motorsports, ISC, and Flying Miata parts and if anyone has real input on what works well I’m open to suggestions. I’d like it to be a nice flush(not slammed/stanced) look but don’t want to lose all travel. Been thinking Koni sports with Ground Control coilovers but wondering what bump stops and upper mounts to use. If a set of tein coilovers is worth it I’m open to them as well. ---
