I'll be there. complete and utter novice, in my very stock 96 miata! I've spent all the time my wife will allow making sure it's mechanically sound, no flashy stuff.
Question - for newbies like me, do they care that I've done an imitation RB intake? If they do, I can take it off and go back to stock, but it drives so much better with it on, I'd rather not.
