So you don't want forced induction...wtf are you here?
...cause people here actually go fast.
Hello all, I'm Graham, 28 y/o with a 91 NA I've had for 4 years this December. Yes, the title is correct, I don't intend to boost the car ever really, but no place else on the interwebs (to my knowledge) has such a concentration of people and information about *actually* fast miatas. M.net is obviously worthless for anyone who shifts above 3k rpm, CR and mazdaroadster are largely highschoolers, stancedancers and scene kings. Thus, I wound up here. Also, I love cats. My gf and I have 4.
Currently the car has NB Sport front brakes, BC Racing BR coilovers, HD Hardcore hardtop rollbar, 949 front sway endlinks, 15x7 RPF-1 wheels with 205/50 Nexen NeoGen tires, and depowered steering. I bought it stock. Ultimate goals for the car are a k24 swap and mild aero. For the foreseeable future the car is my daily so I'm going to suffice with minor mods and undoing what the 210k miles on the odometer have done to it. Thanks for reading!

Thanks! For what I do with the car currently (read: what my wallet allows of me) they're more fun than the stock squishers. For $500 they're passable, but it is laughable to me how simplistic all the low end coilovers are compared to bicycle suspenion (been a bike mechanic for 11 years) with individual high and low speed compression and rebound damping, plus bottom-out ramping etc etc. It allows me to really appreciate what goes into a $3000+ suspension setup for a car.

And here are the four cats. First are Arlo (black) and Loretta (long hair tortoise). They are siblings that we got about 3 years ago.
Next came Murray about 2 years ago. He is really one of the derpiest cats out there. But very patient and a total sweetheart;
And then about 3 months ago a friend found a kitten in a tree that needed a home and we couldn't say no. Since he was a wannabe lumberjack, we named him Sven;

Lots of fast miatas here and a ton of setup technique and knowladge.
I love my BC BR coilovers, got them used with a miata that i bought 3 miatas ago, and kept them as they were great.
Fast forward to my latest miata, that came with VVVVVSSSSMMMAAAAXXXXX coils, which in comparison to my BC's are a big mush of vague, under damping, bottoming out at bridge joints, and autox bumpstop riding mess.
The BC's in comparison, ride smooth on the street, actually better than stock miata suspension, and i did autox and track days on them and they feel awesome. great damping, smooth, and never harsh, even over bumps.
now i never been in a car with say Xidas. but so far, these are the best coilovers i've used.
