Cheap Mods That Make a BIG Difference!

Those hood lifters are such a good mod, and very underrated. It just makes working on your car so much easier.

I think the orange side marker looks nicer. It gives it another color that makes the car pop.

Hood lifter is a great idea!

I prefer a stock height short throw shifter (not cheap, I got mine from MiataRoadster, but I'm sure there are other choices). Short shifters feel weird imo since I feel like my hand is inside the shifter area.

The orange side markers are 80's-90's and are rad asf

Is it just me or I like the Amber lights?

[birdysama]

The orange markers are mandatory in certain situations. I'm not sure in the US but here in Canada it varies. (MTO regulations requires the cars to have specific shape, colors and placement but usually as long as the bulb emits amber or white color it should be Alright)

stock shifter on a miata is god's gift to the world, used to race them for a while and I've tried some of the fanciest short shifters you can find for them and I still went back to the OG. Perfect throw, great engagement. Brass bushing replacement is really the only thing that it needs in my opinion.

Don't forget that a shorter throw won't always make a faster shift, it's important to have the room to really KNOW where the gear shift is without having to think about it, and a reasonable amount of distance on the shifter provides a sort of, not sure if this is the proper way to word this but, tactile sensory interaction to feel where the gearshift is without having to even remotely second guess it.

Just my 0.02, I've done driving instruction on track for a while and the only thing I miss going from my NA miata to the FB RX7 is the gearshift, FB's shifter feels like a B series truck from the same year... probably because it is 😅

My #1 mod:
A really good wash and a detail. You can do that yourself just get a few Microfiber Towels, Meguiars Ultimate Black for plastic trim and some ceramic spray wax sealant for the paint. Meguiars has a good one but ive used Sonax Xtreme Ceramic and it transforms the paintwork.

Ive never liked the clear side markers, color correct always looks better

Hood prop won’t fail with time or excessive heat

I found a set of rubber mats at Moss Miata that fit my 01 car perfectly. I like the rubber ones because they hold up very well, stay in place well and you can literally hose them off when they get dirty. They stink for the first week or two though, especially in hot climes like Florida.

Remember kids, safety features arent to he modded. Especially when it deals with how other drivers can see u

Fun fact - miatas have basically short shifter from factory so it's not much different than placebo especially in 110 -138hp car. No hate, Saying as a fellow owner of an NB2.

Clear side markers look like clear/chrome taillights did in the 2000s.

Also little carbon looking spoilers look amazing, they make your car look more like a sports car

[SuperPersianLord]

Thing about prop-rods, there is usually the secondary slot that allows you to open the hood at 90°+.

[MGUK]

Those clear sidemarkers make a huge difference to the look and the shifter must make changing gears smoother than before! 😊

[fyretnt]

I think changing “miata” to “roadster” makes it look like a bootleg

[yamilmelendez]

Lol the short shifter is something I’ve been crazy to get for my Bugeye but even the Kartboy is expensive for me right know 😂😂😂 cause got my 3rd baby on thursday and I’m 28 😂😂😂

The hood gas shocks are upside down.should be cylinder up, rod down
