I haphazardly tossed it in there and it just happened to fit perfectly so I figured I'd leave it there

The wheel looks great as long as you don't crash!

Looks like a cool knob. Is it solid stainless? And is it easy to remove so you don't come back to a hot/cold car and burn/freeze your hand?

I see you have polished your knob.

That mixture of hard plastic and wood would make a first gen Escalade jealous.

Solid stainless indeed. Has a good weight to it.

Mine is a '97 M. It's not actually as clean as this photo would lead you to believe.

The car came with a wood one from the factory but this particular one is an aftermarket replacement. Original one was looking pretty beat by the time I bought the car.

I have something similar in my Mini. I love the look, but the weight improved shift feel, too. Not sure if shift feel is usually a concern in a Miata, though...

I have a weighted stainless knob in my Mini as well. Huge improvement over stock.

Shift feel is pretty good from the factory in a Miata but a weighted knob certainly doesn't hurt.

NA?

Where'd you get that steering wheel? I love it, and will want to acquire one when I acquire an NA.

Also, how easy/difficult was installing that touchscreen?

was it hard fitting that stereo? Mine has the factory one I would like to keep but the volume knob is all crazy and the bulb went out so I cant see the display at night. But I use an ipod so its not really necessary.

Found it on eBay, it's a Personal from 1973.
Previous owner put in the touchscreen.

Previous owner put this in but I have experience installing a head unit in my previous miata. Fairly easy job.

Is that a Whalen knob? It's one of my favorite relatively inexpensive mods on my Mini for sure. The stock giant plastic knob feels so cheap in comparison.
