Congrats!
The ND is a beautiful car. How much weight does the HT add?

thanks guys!

RF is roughly 100lbs more than std MX-5...

MX-5 RF GT MT CURB WEIGHT: 2445 lbs

WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION % (FRONT/REAR): 50/50 MT

0-60mph: ~6.2sec

It's not blazing quick but very responsive, nimble, and extremely engaging which is exactly what I'm looking for in a daily driver these days...

Already replaced the shift knob and deleted the sound tube assembly (symposer)....LOL

Did you drive the Fiata as well? I love the look of these cars - if I didn't have the dog I would probably be in one!

Congratulations on the purchase and I hope you continue to post your modifications here.

Hey thanks!

Yes I did drive the Fiat as well...I found the Fiat to be a bit laggy....The balance and handling wasn't nearly as tight as it is on the MX-5 RF ...Also, I really don't care for the styling of the Fiat and it doesn't come with a retractable hardtop either...YMMV
