Nice looking NB. Fun cars, I wanted an NC but when I test drove my 02 I had to get it. Had it a few days before I decided to see some slide ways action lol. It was an accidental drift though, it was wet out and the tires on this just do not grip much in wet so I just went with it haha. Sense then I have got it side ways a few times, very manageable if you are being cautious. But I typically just drive it like a old man.

I unintentionally drifted an 87 buick LeSabre on a windy back country texas road in my teens, almost hit a telephone pole. Haven't done it since.

I'm thinking i should have held out till i found one with cruise... was driving down I-16 earlier today and noticed i was casually doing 95... I have a feeling I'll end up paying a more than a few speeding tickets in the future.

Yes, the suspension upgrade is always best to come before the turbo.

Miatas are notoriously bad drift cars because of their low polar moment of inertia. But that very same feature is a benefit in road racing.
