My New MX-5 (pics on Sat..Tease)

Copied and pasted from miata forums but yeah to lazy to retype something...still keeping my 02 Em2 but yeah YAY me Pics this Saturday. When i get it.

Just bought a white 93 MX-5 Manual, which im hoping to turn into a drift machine. Need some advice, wit suspension, brakes and LSD (what some of you out there have). Some problems with the car are Leaking top, need a new paint job, some minor work on the interior panels but on the pluss side it has new clean rims with 90% tires, no dents or noticeable accidents(hopefully it hasent been ill look it up later). Well all said i only paid for this car 1k....not bad. So please some advice. Thanks

ill update this soon

black05civic is an unknown quantity at this point
http://www.corksport.com

They are a good sales site for the mx5. They carry mazdaspeed parts as well, and that would be the limited slip I reccomend. The mazdaspeed.

welcome to the club, theres a few of us here. lol "us" meaning former 7thGenners that have moved on to better things, namely miata.

if you posted on miata.net, dont expect a lively response rate. that forum is VERY informative, but not lively. definitely not as active as this place.

if youre looking for parts, check out the marketplace section of miata.net. theres a LOT of sites that sell miata performance parts. theres also a lot of substitute parts that people put on, particularly from the rx-7 (lsd, clutch, etc.)...thats gonna be in the "power mods" section or the NA section.

trust me, there is a LOOOOOOOT of different tuning opinions and advice on suspension and drivetrain on that site. everyone has a favorite. i think the more popular options are ground controls with kyb or konis or tien flex.

also, it helps to search in the appropriate section. chances are you wont find anything on engine conversions in the suspension section (i saw your post) lol
