My dad picked up another miata (his 8th? 12th? I don't know, its alot). The seller said it has a short shifter, but comparing the height to a miata ad, it kinda looks stock. can anyone confirm?

Doesn't the "short" in short shifter refer to throw length, not necessarily shifter height?
In my limited experience, the shifter height changes with a short throw as well. Little harder to measure the shifter distance for a pic example.
The shifter height does not have to change if other parameters are changed. There are a few ways to shorten the throw, very few of them worthwhile in a Miata.
If your dad has that much experience with Miatas, he should be able to tell if the throw is tighter. If he can't tell, it doesn't matter what the seller claims :)
Looks to be the same height as stock to me.
This is the only pic I could find of our NB with the stock shifter/knob still installed, and it's about the same as what was posted.
Short throw, not height
Rodan, you have the miniature version of my dog
In reply to Toebra :
Your dog must be huge! At 62lbs I wouldn't consider ours to be very "miniature"... LOL
About double the size of yours, 120 or so. Top of his head is about 3 feet off the ground when he is standing. I think I would have to take the passenger seat out to take him in the Miata
He thinks he is a lap dog
I've raced a few Miatas with so called "short shifters", and have hated every single one. Give me the stock shifter every time.
Then you used the wrong short shifter kits. You want the Miataroadster one
