At last....the ultimate car cover......Waterproof and Breathable!

Made from Nextec fabric, this cover sheds water as soon as it hits the cover. Because the fabric sheds moisture it has an absorption factor of only 2%, compared with up to 40% for standard woven and non-woven fabrics. That means, if the cover has been sitting out in the rain you only need to shake it and the residue moisture will easily dry, in the trunk or on the car. Allows any heat or condensation under the cover to easily escape. Polymers provide a silky smooth finish to the fabric and provide superior paint protection. Nextec fabric has been tested at 1,000 cycles on abrasion wheels without scratching. Packs Small & Light - All this protection in a lightweight package that packs into 1/4 to 1/2 the volume of multi-layer, non-woven fabrics. Unlike non-woven fabrics you can clean the WeatherShield cover in your HOME washer and dryer. 4 Year Warranty!

The Weapon*R Circuit Pro Suspension is an alternative to full threaded body shock suspension systems. The dual spring design utilizes a flat helper spring and a main linear spring which makes the kit a progressive coilover kit. What is the difference? The helper spring helps take up the slack on the shock when entering and exiting corners, preventing the spring from falling out of the perch causing excessive wear on the threaded collar. Fits 1990 and later Miatas.

With many of today's upgraded systems having relocated intakes, as well as a means of lowering overall engine bay temps, the new NACA duct might be for you!
