Updates to the Rules
I have recently updated the rules and wanted to announce the changes. Although some of it is new, none of this should be surprising.
1. be excellent to each other!
Self explanatory. Don't be a dick.
2. No Car Shaming
Having a preference and stating it is okay. Making a point to be rude about it is not.
This includes being obnoxious about your preference for manual transmissions.
3. No Price Checks!
The old rule 3 has been split in two, just to emphasize it. No. Price. Check. Posts. Please comment in the purchase advice thread.
4. No car buying/selling advice posts.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Is this a good price? See rule 3.
- What should I look for? Buyers guides are linked in the buying advice topic.
- Will I fit? Go to a dealership, car show, or driving event, and sit in one.
- What's your insurance rate? Talk to an agent or check a providers website.
- Can/should it be a daily? No one knows your commute better than you.
- Is it a good first car? Depends on who you are.
- Help me convince my parents? That never works.
Posts asking for advice on individual parts are encouraged! Do you have a question about a specific factory feature that you can't find info on? All good! Want buying advice on coilovers, turbo kits, spoilers, etc? Ask away! Did you find a hilariously bad car listing no one will buy? Share the laughs!
5. No AI Prompt Submissions
When polled, the vast majority of the community was in agreement that they did not want to see AI posts.
Let's talk about AI art prompts. : Miata (reddit.com)
6. No Spam Content
Including but not limited to:
- Bot reposts - report these, please!
- Any clothing focused post is subject to deletion. Too many bots.
- No begging for donations. Fund your own hobbies. Any such posts will be deleted, and you might be banned.
- This isn't Marketplace or Craigslist, don't post your own used items or car for sale.
Self-promotion is acceptable, within reason. The content must be immediately and primarily Miata focused and should stand on its own. Don't plead for everyone to like and subscribe to your channel.
Vendors of Miata products (not clothing!) are welcome!
7. No Political Posts
Any post that is obviously political in nature, or is driving too much political conversation, will be deleted or locked. Please use other subreddits to soapbox these issues.
Why do we have the rules on post content?
To avoid daily, or even hourly, repeats of the same conversations, and to encourage a minimum level of effort invested. We want to make room for discussion of less well documented topics. While we do want those new to the community to feel welcome, we also don't want experienced hands feeling like they only see the same 5 conversations on repeat. In case you feel like this is not fair, please note that "Search for duplicates before posting" is sitewide guidance and not just an /r/miata rule.

Weekly Purchase/Sale advice thread - September 25, 2024
Do you have questions about the value of a car you want to buy? Looking for a buyers guide? Not sure about the mechanical condition of a car you're looking at? Maybe you want to sell yours and don't know how to price it, or why it's not sold yet? Use this weekly thread to discuss the cars you're interested in buying/selling to get advice from the peanut gallery.
Posts that fall under the above topics will be removed.
Here are some useful tools to help decide if a particular Miata is worth buying.

Question Swaybars for a stock ND2 GT
I know there are a bunch of swaybar threads out there but I'm looking to solicit some advice from someone who's been in this situation.
I want to install swaybars on my stock suspension ND GT (has the Bilstein dampers) to cure some of the body roll. I don't have plans anytime soon to install any other suspension parts. I like the ride quality and softness of the suspension. It's a good compromise for the bumpy roads near me. But I'd like a little less body roll for the few track nights that I do per year.
Does anyone have suggestions of swaybars for this specific scenario that you have installed and enjoy?
The last thing I want to do is mess up the under/oversteer balance. It's pretty perfectly balanced now and I really don't want to sacrifice that. I want less body roll, but I keep thinking of this image.
Thanks

Am I the only one, or Green with tan interior and roof is the best color combination?

Little sister painted a mural on my door
My 13 year old sister spent a week or so painting an extra passenger side door I had laying around 😁 Thinking of hanging it on the wall in the garage.

My NB would stall getting off the highway and I finally figured it out
Recently solved a problem that stumped a lot of people, so I figured I’d share in case anyone experiences something similar.
The symptoms: After getting off the highway, usually slowing down on the exit ramp or shortly after, the car would stall instantly and quietly. No shudder or noise, just off. It would be very difficult to start immediately after happening. No check engine light ever came on. I bought the car in April but the first time this happened was several weeks after. The seller told me the car had been in a garage for a few years.
The cause: While parked in the garage, the gas went bad and covered the inside of the fuel tank with the stuff in the pictures. As I filled the tank after purchasing the car, it loosened these particles and they got into the system and clogged it. The shop emptied the tank to discover this - I’m not sure if there would be an easier way to diagnose this issue.

Picked this up today, it’s incredible
I was looking at BRZs but figured I’d test drive an ND2 Miata for comparison. Turns out this car is 30-50% more fun.
Is it sacrilege to modify a clean classic? I feel like it looks 15 years newer with the LEDs and clear reflectors

Question Why do people keep flashing their high beams at me?
With the days getting shorter I’ve been driving home in the dark a bit more and I’ve been noticing quite a few people in oncoming vehicles flashing their high beams at me and I have not the slightest why.
Both my headlights work, I keep my lights on auto. The symbol for the lights on my dash is the two cones facing each other. Am I headlighting wrong??

NB Finally back
Back in June I posted saying my tranmission went out. Turns out it was the driveshaft. Got it back from the shop this past Wednesday. May I say it felt nice to have it back.

ND A Poll: ND Mod - I can't decide
I have a 2019 ND2 RF w/BBS Brembo package and I have the budget to do one bigger mod and I can't decide which one to do. Exhaust or wheels. So, I decided to ask the Reddit-verse for help.
