New from Southern Califronia
Hey guys!
Currently not a Miata owner, but hope to have one next year. I am a 3rd year college student working down the path of IT and pursuing a BS degree in Computer Science I love cars and I just want to know more about them. I currently have a celica as my DD and was looking for a project/weekend car to work on and learn more. After researching a bunch, I was originally going for a Mark 3 supra, but I happened to stumble over the NA Miata. So what the heck did some test drives with the NA, NB, and NC around the area and man....LOVED THE NA! Now I am in a research phase (which includes saving up the initial funds) of just learning about everything I can on the Miata before I buy it next year Hope to learn a lot from everyone here and meet this community! |

Thanks so much!
Is there a particular specialty in Computer Science that you are pursuing? Thanks for the information! I will definitely keep that in mind when I am actively searching to buy a Miata. Quick question though: with a 94+ is it truly harder to pass smog with the OBDII? Specially if you want to do basic modifications such as Intake, Header, Exhuast, Turbo? |

Unfortunately the Supra is a big fat pig to drive. The Miata changes direction much more crisply.
