I just put coilovers on it and that lowered it by 1.5 inches. Looks and rides great. Some of the original suspension components like ball joints and what not need to be replaced and I’ll do that soon.

Its got some dings along the way and after 15 years some parts of the paint are fading. I’ll get it repainted this coming spring/summer.

It is a really fun car to drive. 2.0L 4 cylinder
V-Tech, 6 speed manual. Red lines near 9,000 and the power band is above 5,000 which is when the V-Tech starts working. Terrific engine tone.

Great car. I’ll never get rid of it!

You must have missed the Miata thread drift. Anything to get us away from listening to retarded political BS.

Ugh.....sounds divine with that 9K red line. High revving momentum cars are damn fun to drive.

The hell it wasn’t. I had an early 90s CRX SI (16 valve) and that thing was a damn hoot. Total go kart. Don’t tell the recruiters when I finally land that Delta interview, but I outran a state trooper on the twisty backroads and was up to 130 at one point. Don’t tell me it’s not a sports car!
