Hello, my name is Chris. I just purchased a 1996 Mazda Miata from a dealership back home. I am very unfamiliar with these cars but I figured it would be a cheap little "whip" to get to and from work with. This is my first RWD car and my first naturally aspirated 4 cyl that I've bought so I'm not really sure what to expect! I currently also have a 2002 Subaru WRX that is more or less a "project car" that is my main focus right now. I am stationed in Ft. Riley, Kansas but I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan so I can't peddle around with the new addition yet. As far as I can tell the car is a "R" package, the dealer wasn't very helpful as to telling me the options so I figured them out. The car is white, has no A/C, no Power Steering, Front, Side, and Rear "Lips"(black), a spoiler and 14" wheels so from what I can tell it's a "R" package?(< clarification if possible please?) As far as plans go, I'm looking to do a "budget build"($1500 limit) that will make the car a little more attractive-16x8 +0 XXR 002's, 205/40/16 Tires, Exedy OE Clutch, and Raceland Coilovers.

SNOW = bad satellite reception so no pics /=

thanks
Chris

Stock type clutches are a bit weak. You might want a bit more holding power up the road.

Welcome , raceland coil overs not! Get Bilstiens . They last a long time and are so well made and designed.
