Very nice. Looks to be in great shape for a 94. Most people consider that to be the best year for the NA.
I really like the front and rear bumpers. All you need to do now is get rid of those nasty Chinese made Prime Well tires.

Can't wait to get some nicer tires on it.
I went over budget for a toy that I'll drive once a week so tires have to wait =/

If the car has a K&N filter or anything in the same vein you may do well to remove it and go back to the stock paper. The oiled filters have a habit of clogging up the MAF and/or some smaller holes in the valve cover that results in a CEL and a fun hour of your time wasted. I've done this twice.
For that matter make sure you check the rocker panel drains now and then they also like to clog up with debris and retain water in bad places.
Otherwise, a great looking car. There are just too many ways to improve on what is already a great car for not much money that I won't begin to bore you.

Although I feel that I have to get used to RWD and stick (good at it but still) before I mod.
Fire away any reading material

That looks great! How many miles does it have? How much did you pick it up for? You definitely scored on this one., congrats
It was by no means a steal but it was the only Miata that didn't have rust or need maintenance or paint
Just needs better tires like another poster mentioned
Thanks!

If you are going to add any mods yourself i suggest a good roll bar from hard dog, or similar. Also chassis flex is a problem with early miatas. Ive read some pretty good reviews on these, but seeing as I dont own a miata i dont have any experience. http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid...number=13-69010
