Keeping an eye on this one. Price is still a little bit high for a basically stock car with some rock chips and some miles.

Yeah, I’m only shopping a club. Not interested in the others.

And the red one that was already modded? It was private party.

Higher revving engine than the ND. Sounds great with a header and exhaust.

Also 250lbs heavier and an interior not as nice. Honestly if it were a soft top, I’d be looking at it a lot harder.

True, but with the suspension parts on it, it will drive a lot better out of the box, with minimal investment needed in improvements.

Devil's advocate here, it would be the cheaper route to get into the Miata life.

It is no ND doe.

Agreed. It’s certainly tempting from a cost of entry perspective. I know the PRHT hold their value very well, but I’d still rather have a soft top.

Depends if you find an ipod glued to the dash as "nice" or not. I don't mind the NC interior at all, its refreshingly simple, and has real cupholders and storage inside. I like the ND exterior doe.

The iPod dash isn’t as intrusive visually as it’s portrayed in pics. It’s not that the NC interior is bad, it’s that the ND interior is modern, which I prefer. Nicer fit and finish as well IMO.

Yeah so the cup holders aren’t convenient, but it’s not going to be a DD so do I really care? Not really. Same feels RE: storage. It’s a 2-seat sports car - I don’t expect much in terms of creature comforts.

You should see the atrocity that is the cup holder "shelf" in the 996 :lol: :lol:

Went over the bikes a little bit yesterday after my recent track day activities.

Unfortunately I found issues with each bike...

The Honda’s brake rotor turned itself into a frisbeeImage

And the KTM’s air filter base has cracked itself to shit.

Fwiw, I have no idea how this has been like this. I haven’t looked at it since last year.

Manufacturer is sending me a new one free of charge. :alpo:
