Hey Everyone. Just rolled the Miata out of storage today and started stripping my matte black plastidip paint job off to start hopefully and eventful season of upgrades. I've got a 1.8L NA automatic. Anybody relate?

Upgrade #1: Get rid of the automatic.

I can relate to poor life decisions, none as bad as buying a plastidipped automatic Miata though.

At least it’s not a 1.6

Don't listen to these guys, I think the early automatics have a removable bell housing. Changes everything. I personally prefer a stick, as do these guys, obviously.

I’ve actually been seriously considering doing the swap to stick. Just not sure how simple it would be. Not sure if there’s anything well documented or not. I wasn’t quite sure if since I’m turboing it whether I switch to a manual or a sportier automatic.

hahah I know it sounds bad, but I’ve gotten too attached to this particular car to trade it for a manual or the right paint job... I’m gonna wrap it next... which is a better option right? Haha

I wrapped mine and have been quite happy with it. Be warned... the front bumper is a monster. Order a 5'x40' and you should have plenty left over...

Oh its to reply to multiply quotes in one post so theres not so many messages? Gotcha. Thanks! New to being active on forums.

First of all, don't let people steer you away from the automatic if it fits your needs and build priorities. You'll be a pariah, but just accept your neg cats and move forward.
I drive 2 hours of stop and go traffic every day, you couldn't pay me to drive a stick in it, but most here are track people, where the stick obviously has merit over the automatic (at least over these automatics)
