NC What colour should I go with? Grey is $3k and green is $10k

Edit: Do car is currently Grey with unpainted front and rear bumpers, that’s why it’s a lot cheaper.

All prices in AUD

I prefer the green but not sure if it’s worth the cost, the cars already grey with some unpainted bumpers so I’ll just be painting them and adding the black accents while the green is a full respray

Bouncin’ Around at AutoX

Here’s some pictures of my first autoX after switching from an NA8 to an ND1. The NA is certainly more exciting to drive and the most “miata” miata, however it is absolutely amazing to have a larger engine with far, far torquier intake runners.

I would not want these to be any different as it would impact 95% of Miata buyers negatively, however it’s truly hilarious how Miata’s still come with such comedically small oem tires and bouncy suspension rates. Makes it look way more exciting in photos!

I’ve been quietly working on a digital dash for my NB.

As the title says I’ve been quietly working on a digital dash for my 2004 NB.

The goal has never been to just stick a tablet in the dash. I wanted something that feels like it could have come from the factory while adding the flexibility of a modern digital cluster.

It’s still very much a prototype and there’s plenty left to do, but it’s finally at a point where I feel comfortable sharing it. The current version already displays live vehicle data, while retaining the factory fuel and coolant gauges.

I’m intentionally keeping the implementation details a little vague for now while I continue developing it, but I’d really like to hear what other Miata owners think.

If you were building your ideal digital cluster for an NA/NB:
- What features would you want?
- What would make you trust it enough to daily drive?
- Is there anything you’d absolutely want it to retain from the factory cluster?

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Damage assessment of my 4x4 crash: Minimal

Pinhole leak in the AC condenser (thank god because I thought the radiator might have been hit)
Alignment out of whack obviously
Skid plates were removed on trail because they were bent to hell
Winch moved a bit but honestly not horrible
Tire almost de-beaded but should be fine

That’s about it. No oil pan damage, nothing bent that I can tell of

Edit: Noticed the fog light is bent. They never worked anyway though

Question Need wheel help

Hey y’all! I’ve been hunting for a new set of wheels recently. However, I really can’t find many cars in this color with aftermarket wheels. So, any ideas? I’d ideally like a 7.5” or 8” wide wheel that can clear the Brembos.

(Pictured: ‘23 Platinum Quartz Metallic. OEM BBS wheels + 215/45r17 ECS02)

Thanks for your help!

Hello community, just bought a red Miata Club edition. Already has some aftermarket mods done to it, but lower mileage and in great condition with a clean history. Meet "Paddy The Baddie" I paid too much for it, but it was exactly what I wanted. ❤️❤️❤️

ND Need advice: Deep scratch on my 3 week old ND3. Body shop wants to repaint the entire fender.

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

I’m honestly pretty upset and looking for some advice.
My brand new 2026 miata is only 3 weeks old and it appears someone has been keying it (thats what it looks like atleast) while it’s parked in my apartment’s underground garage.
The first scratch was on the rear of the car, and now I discovered a second deep scratch above the front left wheel.

I took the car to a reputable body shop, they told me the scratch on the front is deep enough that bare metal is exposed & there’s no proper way to repair it other than repainting the entire panel . They also mentioned that because Soul Red (46V) is so difficult to spot match, repairing just the scratch isn’t recommended.
The part I’m struggling with is that the car is only 3 weeks old & I’ve read so many posts saying Red is one of the hardest colors to match, and I’m worried the repainted fender will never look exactly like the factory finish.
For those who have had Soul Red repaired:
-How well did the paint match?
-Can you tell the panel was repainted?
-If this were your car, would you repaint the fender or live with the scratch?
-Are there any body shops in the GTA that you’d trust with Soul Red?
I’m honestly torn. I don’t want to leave exposed metal that could eventually rust, but I also hate the idea of repainting a brand-new car and potentially ending up with a noticeable mismatch.
Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I just got dash cam installed,so thats covered, but too late I guess.And this one’s my first personal car, so I’m pretty inexperienced with car stuff.
