    Seat Comfort/Ergonomics

    All: What do you think about the cloth seat comfort and ergonomics: Are the seats comfortable? Is the lumbar adjustment useful? Do your arms feel comfortable while driving? Is the dead pedal useful? Do you have an easy (i.e. not too far or close) reach to the gear shift knob? Any...

    MSM Seats

    All: I test drove an MSM, but thought the cloth seats were not very comfortable. I felt that you didn't sit "into" the back of the seats, but that they were very cushioned and that you actually sat "out" from the seat. I also thought the cloth seat material felt a bit "foamy". Any...

    New front motor mount AND Kartboy bushings

    Does anybody have both the AWR motor mount and Kartboy shifter bushings installed? Is this a good solution or is it going overboard?

    LSD Removal -- What If?

    If, perhaps, you wanted to remove the LSD in the MSP, what would you have to do to make it drivable? Would you need to replace the LSD with other parts? Don't know much about this...

    Daily Driving, LSD, & Torque Steer

    Anybody else notice that, for daily driving, the torque steer becomes annoying as it's always tugging at the wheel? Is there anything we can do about it?

    Price Paid & Insurance

    All: In these days of $1500 rebates on the MSM (I could also get the owner loyalty of another $1500) and the MSMs not selling so well, what has been your puchase price??? Also, because the MSM is a two seater turbo, is the insurance incredibly high? I've currently got a MS Protege and it's...

    MS Miata and Winter... Friends?

    I'm thinking about buying the MS Miata, but I live in Tennesee and am wondering how well it will (or won't) do it the ice, etc. The winters here aren't horrible, but you do have to be careful with the ice I used to have a '94 and it was just fine. Should I plan on just keeping it parked all...

    Headroom

    I noticed that the seats in the MS Miata sit up a bit high. I'm 6' tall and am wondering if I'll fit correctly in the car without going to the "gangsta lean". Also hoping that one of the convertible top support bars won't be directly overhead, which might limit headroom more. Any comments?

    1st to 2nd gear grind. Petition?

    1st to 2nd gear Notchiness. Petition? Was just reading up on the Acura RSX boards and they have got a petition going for their gear grinding (only when the weather is cold). Acura has come out, at some time, with a TSB to get it corrected by replacing synchros, etc. I think our notchiness...

    Recaro Seats/Brackets/Info

    After doing much research, I finally made it to Oakland, CA and conducted some exhaustive research on Recaros by using my rear-end and also talked to the dealer who's been selling them for 30 years or so. I'm not quite the racing type, so the most comfortable seat was the LXF model which he...

    Front Engine Mount AND Shifter Bushing?

    In order to try to improve the shifting, do you recommend buying BOTH the Kartboy shifter bushings AND the front engine mount at the same time? Or should I try the bushings first, evaluating the improvement, and then later ordering the front engine mount (if necessary) later on. Any other...
