    NC-1 owner here (2008, copper red mica). I'm one of those who like the original front bumper ("the angry bass"). This video was excellent; the work that Kwan put into the car he bought was astonishing. Thank you.

    Great OEM+ look, TBH I would have liked the video more if the camera guy would show more of the parts being discussed rather than constantly the talking heads with quick and very very brief shaky zoom to the subject and then back to the talking heads. Thanks anyway though. Keep up the great work :)

    Jordan, come out to Tampa FL and review my car. I would love to share my love and passion with my 2012 NC2 PRHT True Red 6-speed. I bought it new and have enjoyed the mods I've had done over the years. It has: RoadsterSport Max Power 1.6 header (ceramic coated), RoadsterSport Helmholtz Midpipe, RoadsterSport Super-Q Exhaust, EcuTek RaceROM tune, K&N Drop-in Filter, Cobalt 3-Point, Shock Tower Brace, RoadsterSport Sway Bar End Links, GWR 36/58 Sport Bumpstop Kit, Progress Technology Spring Set, Progresss Technology Sway Bars (front and rear), PowerFlex Door Stop Bushings, Koni Sport Adjustable Shocks, Tecna-Fit Stainless Steel Lines, StopTech Slotted Rotors, Porterfield R4S brake pads, Enkei PF01 Silver 17x8 +50mm wheels, Continental ECS 225/45/17 tires, Hubcentric Rings 73/67, McGard Lug Nuts, Moroso Power Steering Reservoir, Moroso Coolant Expansion Tank, CSF Single-Pass 32mm Radiator, Braided Stainless Steel Clutch Line, Exedy Stage 1 Clutch Kit, RoadsterSport Competition Motor Mounts. I think It looks and drives better now than when it was new.

    could have saved some time and money starting with NC3? as past/current owner of '94, '00, '06, '17, and now '13, NC3 is the best looker of all models 🙂 and as must as I love RHT look which I had on first three Miatas, I have decided on PRHT for current '13 and eventually got used to the side view. NC miata with modern head unit with backup camera, it's a true modern-classic roadster.

    Is the AC/Heater control from a different miata? I put one just like that which I pulled off of a later model at the junk yard and installed it in min (I also have 2006), but the knob on the left that controls the vents does not work. The temperature dial and the fan speed works fine but the vent choice is permanently set ever since I changed out my OEM one. The reason I changed it is for that silver edge which accents different parts of the car. My OEM one is just all black and moss miata sells a matching satin cover for them but its 70 freaking $$dollars!! I actually noticed that the one I got also has a "Auto" option on the fan speed dial, so I guess there are multiple iterations of this part (at least 3 anyway).
