With a set of konis I bought used, Kosei wheels I bought new for 105 ea and a set of hoosiers.
They are very fast and very tough.
Mine has 114k miles on it and has seen a lot of autocrossing. I paid 4K for it. It runs very well but I am going to go through the motor this winter to get a bit more power. The tranny is acting up the last week. I am told that for 150 I can buy a good used one.
Quick, fun and cheap to race and drive.
It was stated that the first and last series are the roomiest but I believe it is more correct to say the second and third gen are the roomiest.
Mine is the Nb second gen car. I like its styling the best.

Actually the smallest Miata, the NA first gens have the most interior room, the third gens dont have as much head room and the 2nd gens are the most cramped. Its not a huge difference but if you are big enough that every inch counts, avoid the 2nd gen.
