These are pictures of my new daily since the unfortunate loss of my FR-S.

And here's a link to my post yesterday about my weekend work:

Nice! How does it compare to the 86?

Also, I noticed in your work journal post that you removed some foam and the armrest and such. Are you a tall guy? I ask because I'm 6'3" but would love to someday get an NA Miata, but I'm worried about clearances.

Where did the 86 go?

I'm 6'4" With the door armrest removed and foam removed from the seat bottom, I fit pretty well, but I think I should remove some foam from the seat back to make it more comfortable. My head is just below the top of the roll bar now, but I think removing foam from the seat back will also sink me a little farther in. It's totally doable, but don't expect to fit nicely stock.

Also, it handles pretty close to the 86, but with more body roll. There is considerably less power, though.

Good to know. It's a pretty long-term goal for me, but they're so dang cheap, and they have their own racing series.
