New to Miatas. What to buy for auto cross?

[tomeeb]

Hi,

I'm interested in getting involved in auto cross, and all fingers seem to point to the Miata as the best choice to start with. Do you have any suggestions/insight on what model year(s) to look for? Any special equipment packages I should look for? My budget would be about $5k or less.

Thanks in advance for any feedback

Hi Thom. I can't answer your question directly but you might check the national miata.net site. I found this thread:

Thanks for the link, roadster. I think I've found a decent deal on a 96, but am trying to find out if it has the LSD.

Get a miata. Then go compete in SK2 C-stock! Thats it no special anything needed!!
