Should I Remove The Softtop??
I have lived with my miata for this entire summer like that. No garage parking. Longest stretch hardtop was off was around 2 weeks. You can't go anywhere with the top off if it is threatening to rain, you can't do any long roadtrips without the hardtop on. Blah Blah Blah. You get the idea.
However. The rear parcel shelf looks awesome with no top. The added storage space is a bonus. And you save something like 50lbs.
Your choice. I have been living with it for 6+ months now, The softtop (with fixed back window) is going back in next season for sure.

I didn't buy my miata because it was a convertible either, but I must admit, It is a nice thing to have sometimes.

My soft top has been gone for over a year now, BUT my car is not daily driven.
If I were driving my car daily, I would have left the soft top. I still regret not having it periodically when I it's a nice day and I want to drive the car into work. I hate having to make a choice between: 1. running a hardtop or 2. chancing getting soaked by an afternoon shower.

hey Pat here are the pics from overhead

to show you how high the bottle sits. Kotomile that is why there are blow down tubes and who wouldn't want to go down in a blaze of glory
Anywho i hope this helps you.
+ this is a ideal location to use the defroster circiut to trigger a bottle heater

Thanks for the pics Richard, I'm gonna have a look at that and see if it looks like mine will fit there. My bottle is narrower and longer than yours, so I don' know. If I had saw that kit on Ebay before you told me you were bidding on it I would have bidded on it. You got a hell of a deal man. That kit was new too, cause all the threads on the Aluminum AN fittings were'nt scratched up.

If your gonna mount the bottle in the cabin you should really consider routing a vent tube to the outside.I have my bottle in the trunk and it has the vent tube venting to the outside.
