My family used to own a miata, great car.

a miata rear end conversion would be great!!

how would the car handle though with double wishbone in the back and struts in the front.

If it's anywhere close to the way a 911 does with the same setup it'll be a winner.

Have you tried asking on miata.net? They are usually a pretty helpful crew.

Let's try.

As I understand it, the location points are the same year-to-year. Supposedly all Miata suspension parts are reverse-compatible.

not nearly all...

most M1 parts are reverse compadible with other M1s, but many many parts from the M2 cars won't work on an M1..

i tried emailing it, i tryed 1990 mazda miata parts diagrams etc etc, and I got this

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<info@rotorhead.ca>
(reason: 552 misav03: your message size exceeds maximum inbound size of 20480 kilobytes)

i need somewhere to send it, if you have Im or something hit me up, I can send it directly that way

I can set up my ftp on my computer again, but theres a lot of stuff in the same sub directory as those diagrams...
