Over the years, we have been invited to drive many different Miatas blessed with various aftermarket suspension setups. Each car is usually accompanied by a similar promise: It drives just as nicely as stock.
Once we’re behind the wheel, however, that excitement tends to quickly turn to disappointment. Maybe the new setup is a little faster, but the clanks, bangs …
Hush-O-Matic? Sounds like an as seen on TV built for ricer Hondas type of thing.... I'd have to hear it, but it Flyin Miata is selling it, it's probably decent.
When I opened the website and saw that Flyin' Miata on the banner I was just stunned.
That is way too sexy!
Andrew, I like the optimistic view that it carries the same marketing mantra as a 60's appliance (see Ice-O-Matic) and the retro but trendy mentality that has been sold to us with the ND MX-5.
After all, Flyin' Miata has a name to live up to! The YouTube review explains it pretty well, but gives no explanation for the quirky name.
Gees, That looks good. :) It's got to be a blast to drive.
Excited to see the roll bar . . .
That exhaust sounds like an awesome idea.

I see what you did there...

You want the explanation? It makes me laugh. I've got an old Cadillac and I love those 50's and 60's retrofuturistic names.
We have a history of fun names at FM - the Ninja Tool, the Voodoo Box, the Big and Little Enchilada Mazdaspeed upgrades, the Happy Meal clutch/flywheel package (with a free clutch alignment tool!), the Little Big Brake Kit and the Fat Boy roll bar.
The roll bar is now available to buy. It's 1" taller than the prototype that was on the car in the picture and doesn't affect seat travel or access to the storage behind the seats. Prices start at $525.
Hard Dog roll bar for ND
You can hear the Hush-O-Matic in our video. I worked pretty hard to capture the sounds.
