Was a great car but it had it's problems, wanted something more reliable with less things to worry about, and more tossable/leighter also. My father already bought a 2002 NB-FL (with only 8k miles on it
) so this got me thinking more about Mazda's little roadster.
Found a '93 1.6 NA at a Mazda dealership wich was just traded in on a NC from the first owner. Just had its service done and looked quite sharp (accept the wheels wich were extremly dirty). Had a hardtop, power steering and electric windows and that was about it. It had 81k miles (130k Km's) when I bought it. Didn't took me long te change some thinges to my likings.
Went from this, bone stock:

Koni yellow + HKS springs, painted the daisys, sticker on the side, Mono Prototipo, wrapped the doorpanels and dash in alcantara and some minor things.
I'm trying to go for a more oldskool look (british roadsters from te '60's-'70's)
Love how it handles on the koni's, sporty yet more comfortable.
Next up are the brakes and a nice rollbar and maybe wheels (15inch).
