Hi y'all, just got my first Miata (first stick shift car, too) off eBay a few weeks ago. I am having a lot of fun with it as you might imagine, but there is one issue - over rough pavement, the ride can get pretty damn harsh. I mean, there are some bad stretches of interstate around here that...

Has anyone heard of any benefit from unplugging the IAP sensor and putting a resistor across the two leads on the female side of the plug? Someone on EBay is selling the resistors and offering instructions on how to install it in the Mazda MX5.
