Thanks. Pretty sure it is a Shinsen. When I bought it, I was told it was a Special Edition (Shinsen). I am pretty sure it's just a Shinsen though, not a SE since I believe the grey paint/blue top was exclusive to the Shinsen Is yours a NB as well?

So.. BRZ?

Currently under consideration are the FRS (I can get a 2014 for cost +$500), BRZ (no discounts sadly) or paying cash for a NA or NB Miata.

Leaning towards the Miata, call me gay or whatever.

I did one of the first winter driving programs that Reijo runs, ridiculous amounts of fun!

That said, only cars I can afford to loose go out onto the ice... and the only one I can afford to lose is in a million pieces at the moment, haha.

Lol well, there goes my plan of bringing the Golf there

Its its cool, I kinda expected it lol.

Honestly whatever I replace the BMW with is never going to see snow and hopefully not rain either, and I really want a convertible. I would also love something with cheap parts in abundance, that's easy and cheap to take out auto crossing, so the Miata fits the bill perfectly.

I do like the MX-5 hardtops but soft tops perform better methinks.

Not as heavy as the new ones. That should be fun!

Honestly that's what my heart wants, I just want to find a decent car to start with.

Yup, I've got a bone stock '01. Only mods are the shift knob and horn.

At Twin Cam, if you're going for all out performance, an NB1 (99-00) is your best bet. If you're going for a fun weekend toy, what year doesn't matter but I'll say NB2!

The hardtops for 90-05 mx-5's are almost the same weight as the soft top, maybe even lighter, at least for 03. But people don't always take out the soft top if they put a hardtop on so the weight can double.

I added a much heavier shift knob too, shifting became a lot smoother.

Oh, I meant the ones that have the retractable hard top (07's?)

The PRHT's are only ~70 lbs heavier than the soft top NC's which is pretty impressive IMO and definitely worth it.

I didn't add a heavier shift knob, I got a Voodoo. Don't get a voodoo. I'm going to swap it out for a Joyfast knob though. Possibly the leather one if Rev9 ever has a sale.
