WTB: M2 Hard Dog Hard Core Rollbar

cuppatea — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:46:38 GMT

Hey Renegade Miata-ers, I'm in the market for an M2 Hard Dog Hard Core Rollbar for my NA (which has a Robbins glass top) because I can't get the idea of taking Maus to the track out of my head. I'll probably just get it new but I figured that it might be worth asking just in case there's one floating out in the community.... Thanks, Ivy

Upgrades that maintain stock class

mghalpin — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 22:50:35 GMT

My 2001 has 46k miles and i'd like to change the shocks, but want to be sure i stay stock. From reading the SCCA solo reg's, it looks like I can swap to any shock that has no more than 2 adjustments. Does this sound right to you? Do you have any specific makes/models you would recommend?

Thanks! Looking for to the season.
