New Miata 4me

[nate0123]

so, what's gonna be your first mod?

Few things... Probably clean it up. Then work on the driver's side headlight popper. The motor is good, but the pivot socket it worn out. Then maybe work on the top. Had a few small holes that were "temporarily" fixed. Then probably replace the headunit, speakers, maybe put the XM tuner in.

Probably nothing engine or suspension, it drives really nice as it is and is a ton of fun

They're even more fun with good suspension parts and tires. Corner carving little monsters. A nice intake, header, cat and exhaust, plus a timing bump, and you'll have some fun in the hills.

I highly recommend headrest speakers if you don't have them. If you do have them, I still recommend replacing them with the Performance Buyers Club ones. They sound fantastic! I wish I could put headrest speakers in the P5 and the MPV, really!

 

[nate0123]

I think it does have headrest speakers (there was sound coming from behind me, although I didn't see where it was coming from) but I think they're blown. So I used the fade to put all the sound to the front and it sounds better.

I'm also guessing I have "A package" http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/5361/94.html

Because it has power steering, leather wheel, power mirrors, alloy wheels (and I think headrest speakers). If that's the case, that would mean I have the LSD too

Are the PBC speakers the Max 5 speakers? If they are, you're right. Max 5s *rock*. They really do make a huge difference. My current seats have Max 5s (well, the driver's side does. I've been too lazy to install the pax side) and the new interior I'm picking up this weekend includes Max 5s in the headrests. (glare)

bump for pictures!

 

[Foolish]

Yes.

[phinz]

Cool. Then I concur. Definitely install PBC speakers. They are easily the best sounding headrest-specific speakers I've heard in a long time.

 

[Foolish]

I found that by having headrest speakers, I could dial the balance toward the headrests, and send less power to the doors. This allowed me to turn the bass way up without distortion. It was wierd, I added tiny little speakers to the headrests, and it sounded to me like I'd added an amp and sub!

Oh, here's the link to the speakers.
