I find that most people shopping for a new ND are not cross shopping it with used 'vettes, Z4s, Boxsters, etc. Most of them are cross shopping with the NEW versions of those cars. Most new Miata buyers can afford those more expensive cars, but opt for the Miata because it's cheaper and honest. One in particular was looking at new 911s and was considering the ND and BRZ as cheaper alternatives. After driving the BRZ and ND back to back (I have Subaru and Scion new brands here as well) he came right back and reserved the ND. I keep in touch with him and he's thrilled with his choice.
Cool story bro, I know. But most people buying a new ND aren't buying it just because that's the price point they can afford.
I just caught this. Do you have any more details on it to share?
I saw a topic on m.net that says it is using ceramic coating on the hotside and inconel fasteners. So it looks to be a serious kit..
For more info you can contact Avo World directly. Until we have a transmission solutuon we wil only carry therir N/A kit. Will be Dyno testing and evaluation that hard question. It appears that it will make about 165whp Dynojet on California 91.
I may be tempted by another car next instead of this. If I get the job I'm working on in another city and end up with commute that I could possibly buy a cheap bicycle for when the weather isn't crazy hot.
If I can sock some more away in the bank, and pay off my last credit card, I'm gonig to very seriously consider a 2017/2018 Camaro SS 1LE package. $44k, but even the SS's end up selling way under MSRP.
And I figure a $30k Grand Touring (and I don't know how much under list you can get them), once XIDAs, wheels/tires, exhaust, tune, roll bar, brakes, oil cooler, go on the car.......You're likely in the upper $30k range investment.
Haha I looked at a v8 mustang before I bought my nb1.
Do you use the word "bro" on a regular basis? If not, you were never Mustang material. I mean, I looked at a Fox body before I bought my Celica GT cabrio. But I knew it wasn't the right choice for me. (This was in my pre-Miata era.)
I saw another ND on the road today, and it's harming my preconceptions.
On the one hand, it was being driven by someone who looked as though he frequently uses the word "bro" in a non-sarcastic context.
On the other hand, the radio was blaring Justin Timberlake.

I'm confused...
I was legitimately shopping craigslist entirely by price. I'd just sold a motorcycle so I wanted a fun convertible. I tried the stang out and it was honestly pretty awesome, but it felt like a boat. It was the total opposite of having a bike you could throw around. Hence the miata. Now I plan to have some fun with the car. Hence this forum (,Bro)!
I just read an article on autoevolution stating that Mazda is considering reviving the Mazdaspeed brand in 2020, starting with the miata. Has anyone else heard any similar rumblings?
We are working on a Setrab oil cooler kit for the ND. No price or ETA, it is still a ways off. Like you, I would not install the Mishimoto kit if someone gave it to me.

Haven't heard anything about it. At this rate, I'd not expect anything til a real source outs it. 2020 is still quite a ways away.
Mazda's MO is to do a Mazdaspeed version as a design ages to spark interest. 2020 would be about the right timeframe to do this on the ND (4 years in). But, yeah, that's an eternity in the car biz. Given all the power left on the table with the SA2.0, it seems like a Mazdaspeed version would be easy-peasy and would not require FI. Basically, just do what Goodwin and 949 have been doing.
