Subject: M2 center console kit?

Date: 	Mon, 1 Sep 1997 12:19:36 +0000



My latte' must have been extra strength this fine morn', because I'm

just perkin' away with trival questions!



Anyway, has anyone ever seen a kit to convert the Miata's center console

to that of an M2 Miata?  (See page 71 of Jay Lamm's "Miata Universe" for

a picture, next to a picture of another non-R blue R package, with power

mirrors.)  The center console "box" is gone, replaced with a piece of

carpeting that covers the transmission hump.  The radio/HVAC panel

simply cuts off at the bottom where the box would have started, and the

shifter has a nice little ring screwing the shift boot to the hump.  The

kit would work only with crank-window Miatas (there's nowhere for the

power window switches to go).  But it would be easy to replicate, it

seems.  Not to mention bitchin'.  Anyone?



The M2 shown also has a bad-ass Momo steering wheel (three-spoke,

leather-wrapped with a yellow stripe at the top).  Can one buy this

exact wheel in America?  I love the yellow stripe.
