    2000 Miata LS w/hardtop - my new DD

    I've been wanting a 2nd gen miata for a while, to have as a DD while I work on my Legacy
    Ideally I wanted a 1999 10th anniversary edition (blue/black, 6spd, etc), but the price was right on this thing and its in great shape.
    Picked it up yesterday and I'm already loving it.
    its mostly fully loaded, 132k, clean title
    - hardtop w/defrost
    - cruise, ac, bose audio
    - nardi wheel
    - torsen lsd

    Plans right now are to get normal wheels and tires, and upgrade the struts.

    I dig it. My dad has a red 2000 like that, just without the hard top.

    did most of the black interior conversion. turns out the dash is all 1 giant piece and doesn't come apart underneath like on subarus.
    still need a drivers door card


    also removed the factory power antenna and installed an S2000 shorty antenna
