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?
Welcome to the club!
Yes we do. Come on over. Just introduce yourself first. Post pics of your car.Great group of people. We have meets just about every week around the Bay.

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 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.

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.
