Isn't the rear a bit too high?

It's apparently the stock height, but mine seems a WEE bit higher.

Yeah, that's in the pipeline! Currently looking for stuff like new rims, tyres, a hard top, soft top window, shocks, etc.

Add a clutch to that list

I hope I don't burn it out! I'm ordering steel clutch lines too, worth it?

Yeah, they work well under high temperature conditions. Also get some braided brake lines.

I'd go with the clutch rather than the repaint if I knew ur clutch is stock!

I didn't go for an after market clutch because I heard it's stiff/hard to use. Don't know if that applies to all brands or not.

An OEM replacement clutch from Exedy will be as close to stock as possible. You don't need Stage 1/2/3 for now. Here's a link:

Its not your DD, so why not get an uprated clutch?

Because mine will go any minute now!

Man, I think I'd consider getting a miata 2.0 from the US... In the near future..

Those things are solid..

There's a 2006 in Ajman Car Souq for 40k, but A/T.
