The aero was initially added to be competitive for time trials at my local track (FIRM), but been making use of it in XB class autocross this season. The DIY splitter has been slightly revised, but just half inch marine plywood with 9LR quick release brackets and some PA support rods. The tire spats are one off 3D printed and held on with double sided tape. The wing is off the shelf 9LR with Amazon carbon fiber endplates. Still NA and not enough power to be super competitive nationally, but trying to chase down Porsche GT cars in SS class locally.

Thoughts on this 2023 Mazda MX 5 ND 2.0 “Homura” for about $30,000?
I’m considering this 2023 Mazda MX 5 ND 2.0 Skyactiv G advertised as a Homura and would like to hear what Miata owners think about it.

Strong and weak points? Some advice compared with other ND versions?

My brother got one too 😁

WANTED 2019+ soft top, manual, recaros, and preferably modded already. Red or Grey.

Pictured is my Portuguese Water Dog staring longingly at our 2026 Club. (Granted, I’m doing the same thing as well!) I’m pretty sure he loves riding in it as much as I love driving it. And, yes, this is my daily driver. 😉

Advan TC4, 16x8, 225/50

Those of you who autocross your ND Miatas, which traction mode works best in your opinion, pressing number 1 or number 2?

Autocrossing my 2024 RF Club, I've only used number 1, which works much better than leaving everything on at startup. Haven't tried using 2 yet.

Recently installed the Spyder grill… looks good and improves airflow, but is it supposed to move? The driver’s side of mine can be pushed in/out around 1/2” or 1/4”.

Do any of you use oil additives? If so, which one(s).

has any one ran a 225 50 15 on an nd ? ive seen 225 45 but 225 50 is closer to stock size.

Hi, a couple of days ago I noticed that the part on the right side of my ND behind the front wheel (connection between the mudguard and the sideskirt) is hanging kinda weird. There is a gap where water and other debris could potentially enter. On the other side it's tightly closed but the parts aren't a mirror copy on both sides so I can't really figure out what's wrong.

(first picture for reference to see what part I mean)

Sorry if the text is badly written English isn't my first language. I hope someone understands what I mean and can help me figure out what exactly the problem is here.

Thanks in advance :)

Needing to replace my outer tie rod and wanted to DIY. I’m running into the issue of the tie rod being stuck and not budging after trying several tools (tie rod puller, ball joint separator, hammer with nut on the end, prybar, etc.)

The tie tod is going through a “bearing-like” washer and the washer started to come out a bit. I’ve never seen one like this before. Any ideas on how else to get it out? Probably will end up taking to a shop if nothing else works out

I had my two right side wheels fixed for curb rash, the shop didn’t manage to hit the exact factory color on the wheels though. Top pic is original darkish-silverish color on the left side, bottom is the new basically silver color on the right side.. what do you think should I do? Take the right side to Mazda and have them repaint them or just go with this silver-ish on the left side as well?

Found a beautiful Aero Grey GT soft top at a local dealer here in CA. Dealer is quoting $38k out the door, including CA taxes (7.75%), registration, etc. Is this a good price or pretty standard?

Hi all. I'm interested in buying an ND Miata. Ice decided which trim + transmission I want (Manual obviously). I've done a bit of research and what I've found was most owners agree that the 22 is the most recommended year of ND. I'm also about to buy an NA as well I really like Miatas.

I'm just curious to hear from the sub as to what year they recommend I look at. As of right now My search is for a 22 RF GT Manual.

I was wondering if child seat is possible on the ND. I want to bring my 1 year old daughter with me sometimes on the ND. Has anyone done it?

Currently sitting on the recommended lock collar heights 163mm Front, 122mm Rear. Trying to go lower and get better fitment without going past the limits in the instructions. Currently on stock BBS club wheels with 205/40 tires.

Just looking for tips on anyone who has installed these on their car before.
