All of these things are fixable, but at some point it's like, just get a vanilla NB and an FMII...
Yup; FM fixes all - even MSMs. They can put their enchilada package that basically fixes the fuel, air, and redline for the MSM - basically turning the MSM in to an FM II/III.

Thanks guys - this actually makes a lot of sense for me. I think I'll just wait for a nice NB/NA and then try the FM route. The nice thing about this option? It lets me keep my FRS and get a Miata.
