How bad of an idea is it to buy an nc, rip out the softtop, put in a nice rollcage and get a nice hardtop?
Hardtop miatas are the sex

Just throw your money away, it will be faster and more fun.
NC's can be had with a folding hardtop.

Yeah, but that weighs a shitton

>35kg
>shitton
Just go easy on the burgers
Can't make my mind up on whether the garage vary top is ugly or beautiful

>doesn't even come assembled or painted
>a decent supercharger/turbo system is around that price
Why even live?

it's cars you dumb fuck this can be said about any scenario.

not a bad idea just expensive if you want to be 100% scca legal
only one(1) bar is universally scca legal for the NC and its $1200 from blackbird fabworks
all other bars might get you into tracks just depends on local rules
the soft top isnt that heavy though to be honest ~35-40lbs

I like miatas, I just don't like convertibles. I would much rather have a coupe. This was more of an idea to get a makeshift coupe, and possibly a bit more rigidity

Not with the miata because its literally slow and gay

well if you arent tracking the car you have a lot more options
the rear deck area that opens up is huge and will need sound deadening and carpet if you want to keep from going deaf
the interior of a gutted NC is incredibly boomy and resonates road/exhaust noise much worse than other small cars, especially with a RHT

So, not the best of ideas for a dd right?

It only really matters if you care about having a convertible or not, imho. The roll cage is a good idea regardless.
>>14628782
As I said before, I don't care for the convertible part. I'll look into this a bit more
Do it OP
Do it now
And post pics
>>14628298
That looks really nice for what it is
