Sorry, somehow I missed seeing this earlier. I bought this kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 No hog rings on the P5 seats, woohoo!! And 2 months in, I absolutely love it. Still need to do the passenger seat, but that's simply a matter of pulling it out of car now that the wiring is in place.

Autox: CSP in 2016: Oh, this is fun; ES in 2012: Welcome back, it's been a long time; GS in 2011: Spicy FTW, until it goes boom; BS in 2010: RX-8 was fun; HS in 2008: been there, done that; STS: Whee!!!!; ES in 2006: The first of our 6 Miatas[SIZE=2]
Rallyx: PR in 2016: Dirty, dirty fun in a Miata, NA or NB; PR in 2015: Tired RX-7 is tired, let's switch to an NA Miata instead; MR in 2014: Slideways is the best way in the dirt.
Was running touge earlier today with some local car people, and the two quickest cars in the corners were an NA Miata and my P5, which the Miata couldn*t really pull away from even in the hairpins. Given that I have no additional chassis bracing, old suspension bushings, and old swaybar endlinks, I*m really impressed that I could grip almost as well as the NA in front of the pack.

If you intend on going back out there, but don't think you'll upgrade any suspension bits before then, try setting your tire pressure as follows (if you're on stockers + stock tire size)
Rear: 28
Front: 26
That should help with the understeer a bit. I run those pressures on the stockers with decent improvement in grip.
