Just bought a Miata. Are there any local Miata forums in the Bay Area?
 
Just got a Miata for daily driving. I was poking around to find Miata forums. I found miata.net, but they don't seem to have anything local like i-Club. Does you guys know of any?

It's a 96 M Edition. Bought it to spend less on the long daily commute and in hopes of buying some time before the timing belt job for the bugeye. Due in about 10k. I'm liking the Miata so far.

I had a '99. Honestly not my cup of tea. Oh well.

Schweet! Thanks 2cam16! I'll take some pics and introduce myself to the forum.

It's definitely not as comfortable compared to the subie. It makes a fun DD though.

Unit 91 03-29-2011 11:38 AM

I just couldn't get past having the thing make a lot of noise and not go anywhere. That and the stigma. Oh well. I've driven modified ones and they're fun, but I'd rather put my money towards something else.

I miss my 96. It was slow as hell, but it was a blast to drive on a back road! Enjoy it!

2cam16 03-29-2011 12:35 PM

Always a blast to drive. ;)

I needa join that. I've been on miata.net. I'm driving my moms boyfriends short nose crank 90 miata. Lol, looking to put a new soft top on for temp but we'll be doing a complete 1.8l powertrain including rear end.

dickson 03-29-2011 11:06 PM

Are the rear end on the 1.6 different from the 1.8?

azer408 03-29-2011 11:09 PM

some of the 1.8's came w/ a torsen rear. for instance the 6 speed vs the dumb 5 speed, the torsen rear lsd vs the open rear dif, and the bump in hp, and the ability to run boost a whole lot better than a dumb short nose crank 1.6(90)

I did some research on miata.net when I first started driving the car because I was going to do a complete swap and what not at the time.
