Hello From Texas
After more than a year of debate I have finally purchased my first Miata. I'm coming from a 380whp Mazdaspeed3 that I built myself (built engine, big turbo, E85). I was getting tired of the restrictions of FWD (inability to launch, understeer - you know the story) and wanted a RWD car that could better handle power and turns. I had been debating for a while if I was going to get an NA and do a 5.0 swap, or an NB with a turbo. I then read about the K24 swap and that sounded like the perfect amount of power, reliability, and efficiency. So the plan for now is to fix all of the issues, autocross it stock, and eventually do a turbo or a K24 swap.
I'm coming from Mazdaspeedforums.org, and I've heard you guys are just as relentless as they are with respect to pwning noobs so I feel at home already
I picked up a white 2002 with the sports package w/ 130k miles. The body is in good condition and the engine seems strong. Has some issues, but for $3400 I think I got a pretty good deal since I can fix them myself.

Welcome
I am in dfw too.
I have run eagles canyon outside of Denton in one of there track days and some autocross/pca time trial.
My helmet is over the bar.
I have read about the boom stick test. They set a broom stick on top between window frame and roll bar. Think your helmet should be a
1 or 2 under to never have to worry about tech at all with anybody.
