My Modifications

This section gives detailed information about modifications on my Miata. Things like installation and tuning tips, parts selection, before-and-after comparison can be found here. The mod lists seem to grow faster than I can add detail description on individual mods on the lists. Looks like I have to keep up the pace in updating my mod pages!
