View Full Version : miata
I just bought a 97 Miata.
I can't find the grill, cup holder or the button to raise the antenna.
It has 17 inch wheels which i don't think I can use in stock class, but I got the original wheels too.
It came with 4 new adjustable shocks, not installed, are they ok for stock class?
The leather seats are pretty much shot what do I do about makeing them look OK?
OOPS to many questions in one post, but im on the road and don't know when I will get back to the internet.
thanks will

Will I figured you would go out and buy something. Too bad I didn’t take you for a ride in the 510 so you would know what a real car is all about and you wouldn’t have to learn the silly Miata owner’s secret handshake or is it a silly wink -on second thought I think it’s just Pat that winks

My wife has wanted a Miata for years, She actually think i got it for her!;)
A 510 would have been a hard sell. It has a top, what were they thinking?
Is there a market for Miata 17 inch wheels?

It won't be that hard to sell those wheels- they fit a million different imports. I would just put some decent tires on the stockers, install the shocks, and call it good for this year. Some fresh brake pads too, but nothing extravagent- the 'premium' pads from Napa will be fine.

I will look for you on Sat.
I have given up on finding the cup holder, but discoved the antenna goes up when I turn on the radio. Now how cool is that?
There are several things under the hood that I'm not sure what they are.
