Default My new toy- 1992 Miata
Hey guys, after months of scouring Craigslist and looking for a deal I finally found what I was looking for and thought I'd show her off. It's a 92' with 112,000 and (as far as I know) I'm the third owner. The car was used by gomiata.com as a show car and got pretty much every upgrade they could fit in it. Actually, you can still see a picture of it here http://www.gomiata.com/stipepa.html as they're still using it as the picture for their package deals.

I'm getting more used to the clutch every time I hop in it, but hill starts still aren't as good as they need to be. I have a feeling I'm holding the clutch in too long but that's the only way I don't stall. Now for something strange. The car has an aftermarket sony sound system and it also has an alarm. However, the LCD screen for the alarm is broken. Tonight when I parked her in the driveway she started dieseling without the key in the ignition. I had to stall to get it to stop. However, this has only happened once. I thought it may have something to do with the alarm (viper system?) but when I press the second button all that happens is the lights and console lights will turn on and off. As far as I know the third button doesn't do anything. Anyone have experience with these systems? Does my car have a remote start?

Here's some pics I took this afternoon.

Awesome. :dinrk: I LOVE my wife's MX-5 (2006). Best handling car I've ever driven, not that I have a lot of experience.

It's black and looks like a tiny cellphone with buttons at the bottom labeled I, II, and III.

A rough ballpark estimate is around 130HP (not bad when stock is 90), but I have no idea what kind of torque. It would be nice to get it dyno'd.
