Rebuild all the salvage Miatas! ASS!

That's pretty much my conundrum right there. I'd do the suspension and wheels/tires on either one right away and the OSG diff is probably a lot better than the factory LSD on the Club. Are the dash screen, spoilers, stb, bose, and red stitching worth an extra $3500? Kind of hard to justify for my needs.

One bonus of going with the Sport is that we have a ceramic one in stock and it could be mine any moment I want..............

I was all about the Club until I drove the Sport. For my purposes, it had everything I needed as a base platform for speed parts -- the LSD being the only exception. But I'm betting that LSDs are going to start showing up in the yards soon.
Keep in mind that neither of my Miatas has a radio. I'm a fan of the original R-package.

Yeah, that's the big difference. For me, I don't plan on a lot of speed parts. Exhaust, tune, springs, wheels/tires drive. The club means I'm not spending more right away aside from the payment, and it means I get more of what I want. Talked with the boss more yesterday, definitely placing the order this next round (Mazda only picks up orders once per month).

@TurboTim were rewelding a new bellow on because the old one cracked around the edge. Any suggestions to try and relieve some of the stress?

You're not the first to have one of those Vibrant bellows crack. Seems like most have actually. Hell, Shieud's cracked almost immediately. Not sure how how to fix it other than trying not Vibrant, or replacing it with a solid section. My early setups had no flexes in them at all but were a nightmare to assemble.

I bought a flex pipe style one first, but it was too tall and I don't think it will fit.
Ha. This thing is something of a nightmare to install as-is. If it had no flex portion.... No bueno.
In other news, there are whispers of a PRHT ND. Supposed to be announced by month end. This is not my intel, comes from a post from GWR. If that's the case, I'll have to slightly modify my order...
