This was a fun little project... My NB2 only came with the dome light. That made seeing in the footwells difficult at night. To help with that I scavenged the trunk and glove box lights from the GTO. I dremeled out the little plastic bolt covers for the center console on the tunnel. The lights snap perfectly into them. We wired them to the dome light and boom. Let there be light...

SUCCESS! We passed the CARB referee and it's truly CARB legal now. This ref was much more knowledgable and could discuss all of the components and issues. Finally I can get to the fun of really driving it!

Wow this is awesome. A lot of work, pretty over whelming. Glad to see you were able to get an 04 body to be carb legal. I知 new to this forum and after talking to Flyin Miata they told me only 90-95 body style with LS3 motor would be carb legal all ready to go. I would like to have newer body style between 04 and up and put a ford motor in there. Guess I値l do more re search |

It might be easier to CARB sticker an older 5.0 in an '95 or older NA, or not. I don't know at this point because the rules keep changing, and not for the better. The LS is a much better platform. |
I知 ok with the LS swap just looking into the labor as I am not a mechanic. I値l have friends that will help me with the process however I can always learn as I go. Got a quote from FM to do the job and it was ridiculously high which I don稚 blame them for due to the time and labor. I think going with older body style with LS is the way to go since the research has been done already. |

I added air conditioning the weekend before Miata Reunion at Laguna Seca. Drove it 500 miles there through the LA fires. Tracked it all weekend. Then drove home 500 miles. Was SO happy to have ac. Cruise control is next!

Please keep the thread updated with the Cruise Control install specifics.
I have not seen anything specific for adding it to an NA or NB and would like to know what it takes to do it yourself. |
My car is a 2002 and I put a 2000 LS1, from Trans Am, in my car. The throttle is a throttle by cable and not a throttle by wire. My cruise control works fine with no additional modification. I used a Dakota Digital box for my speedometer and everything else work as normal.
