Thanks bud.
Same to you; that EVO X looks sweet! Do you still have either of your old Mazdas?

The sun visors were the first thing I took off the Miata (well, after I removed the Radio Shack computer speakers that were tucked underneath the soft top, that wouldn't allow it to fold down all of the way). Even though the '92s had the visors that fold in half to make them smaller, they were still annoying.
Your acquisition of a turbo Miata had me doing math this morning...I'll still wait until winter comes to boost mine.
I'm with you man, the visors really are more of an annoyance than they're worth. At least for us taller folks.... Even with them gone, I am still slouching a bit at certain stop lights just to see when they turn green! The way I see it, if I need a sun visor, I'll just sit up straight and use the top of the windshield
Unrelated to sun visors: there are actually quite a few advantages to boosting/modding an older OBDI NA Miata:
-OBDI = No need to worry about OBDII emissions, so you can use a full standalone EMS and ditch your factory ECU without issue & still pass emissions.
-Choose whatever type of forced induction you you want the first time, as well as the size of the compressor.
-Many prefer the gearing of the 5MT for boosting vs the 6MT (although 6MT is stronger).
-Since you'll likely end up replacing the rear end anyway (90-93 rear ends aren't exactly robust), you can get whatever rear end gearing you desire the first time (3.63, 3.90, 4.10 ect).
-Lighter car to start with.
-No airbags in seats= swap out seats without issue & without pesky airbag light staying on.
Just a bit of food for thought.
Are you thinking of going turbo or supercharging?
I'll have to keep an eye out for you around the neighborhood... If you happen to live in the neighborhood off of Dartmouth (Pheasant Run) and park outside, I think I might have spotted your car a time or two already.
