MX-5 Miata

Great views
Went on the Blue Ridge Parkway this week, and had a blast! The Parkway feels amazing with the top down, and all of the curves make for some interesting driving.

Sad to winterize
It's time to winterize my Miata. Makes me so sad when she goes into hibernation. I drive her daily if the weather isn't too bad and I don't need extra room.
Is anyone else winterizing?

This is the unlikely success story of the Mazda MX-5 Miata: the world's bestselling 2-seat roadster and the only remaining true lightweight sports car. It almost never happened in the first place. Had its makers listened to the experts, it never would have happened. And if Mazda listened to its own...

After over 4 years of my E6000 glue job holding up, i guess its finally time...
It was really nice driving home, though, so I'm pretty stoked that the Sierra top I ordered is zippered glass. Always nice to install an upgrade instead of just boring maintenance. Of course I pulled the trigger on a new Rega P3 50th Anniversary turntable right before finding this... when it rains it pours!

Chillin' in the Paddock
My 2000 NB1 I've been building for 5ish years. The engine's mostly stock but I've spent a lot of time on maximizing its cornering ability on a reasonable budget and removing weight where while retaining creature comforts like carpet and a radio. It's my third Miata and definitely my favorite! IMO, NBs are the sweet spot between power, complexity and daily-ability.

NA, NB, now ND
Had a NA back in '99 but after my poor mk2.5 went to rust heaven a few weeks ago (the underside was a horror show) I've gone and got a 2017 ND RF and oh boy am I in love.
(Sorry to the NC's, I just didn't like the design)

Back in the game
The reshelling of the mechanicals and suspension from my wrecked Eunos into the new body is completed.
Months of effort, skinned kuckles, dirty fingernails, swearing and way too much money are over.
Turbocharged and ready to party #mx5 #miata

Thoughts on a K24A4 swap?
I know KPowerIndustries has a K24A2 kit - I found a really cheap k24a4 junkyard engine for $200, 170k miles on it.
I want to keep it in my garage and take it apart and mess around several times as I've never worked with cars too much. It comes with a rebuild kit previous owner had gotten to busy to finish. I plan to either sell it or junk it since its mostly to learn - I'll probably look for a more popular 2.5 swap.
But hypothetically, if I wanted to swap a K24A4 odyssey engine, could I do it? I know the compression ratio is lower so might need some forced induction to go with it

Results after working till 2am doing paint correction. How's it look?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/422283
> The color is "Blue Crystal Metallic" an option that was only offered for about a year, approx 3000 Miatas were sold with this color. I've never done paint polishing so I bought a kit from Amazon with a ton of Chemical Guys compounds and after a TON of watching YouTube tutorials I went to work.

Been waiting for an MX5 / Miata community on here. So here's my first post on Lemmy with my 95 NA. It's a work in progress after crashing my previous one
