NA w/soft top
6'2" 220lbs
Never had a problem with the size. I have a mini van if I ever need to haul stuff. Can fit $100 of groceries in trunk no problem. 5-speed sits at 4k at interstate speed but always feels healthy.
94 NA. Been daliying a miata for 4 years. This is my second one. Ive got the hardtop, dynoed megasquirt, breather mods, and a bucket bolted to the floor. My morning commute is so early no one else is out and if i wake up early enough, i can take backroads the whole way. Ive tightened up and lubed most of the squeaks and rattles so the highway is p tolerable as well. Always get looks when im putting around town, and fags trying to race. We get a solid 4 seasons so ive got dedicated winter and summer wheels and tires. Wouldnt trade it for anything else i can afford
Care to eloborate on what breather mods? What type of power do you make with the megasquirt and no boost? I was told upgrading the ecu was useless unless you're going to forced induction. Seeing a lot of people doing it though so that's probably bs.
No
can you share your tune id love to compare it to mine as its also a 94
Bump
NA here.
If you dont fuck with the suspension its comfy.
If you have a hardtop its nice and cozy in the winter.
Returning from work in a nice warm day with the top down - priceless.
Headlight limit your ability to spot potholes.
Its super boring to drive on straight roads unless you are cruising with good tunes on.
Fun to slide around in the snow, hyper predictable.
Gearbox is fun to use and its not a hassle to play with the gears in traffic.
Trunk is good enough for two people unless you have a slut of a girlfriend that packs too much.
Good visibility with hardtop, not so much with the soft.
You will get attention, its up to you if its a positive or a negative.
Gas station people will ask you about the car.
Kinda bad on the highway.
Friends will ask you to get a ride and will be amazed at how low they are sitting.
Super fast to wash and clean since its a tiny car.
Car wash employees are delighted to clean it since they clean taxis all day long.
Arm rest is super comfy.
If you are short enough to have the seat a bit forward you can stash water bottles or whatever else.
Traffic driving in the summer is hell, its tolerable if you are constantly moving.
Get sunscreen and a hat for the hot days.
Somewhat easy to work on.
NB1 owner here, most of this is true for that model as well except:
It's great on the highway and in summer heat and traffic. You get just a little more power but it's enough to keep up with speeding traffic and overtake other cars effortlessly.
The interior of the NB is slightly tighter but more luxurious.
The extra reinforcement of the NB chassis gives the car more substance with which to soak up bumps so it can be a more pleasant DD.
The body is more aerodynamic so the fuel economy is slightly better.
The trunk is bigger.
The two generations are mechanically identical.
NB2s have even more power and better fuel economy thanks to VVT, as well as key immobilizers for security.
I'm wondering why the NC and ND never get any play in these threads.
