so im getting my probationary licence in a week but my mx5 (miata) is gutless as fuck. now i obviously want to upgrade it so its not slow as fuck but i dont know where to start.
turbo is out of the question and ill have to risk having intake and exhaust system but i need a list of other descreet mods i can do while staying n/a, where do i start?
>>

how about you get a full license and spend a couple months learning how to be a safe driver before you spend daddy's money on turbos.

Any NA mods you do will provide no noticeable difference.
My suggestions are
1. Get an exhaust you like the sound of
2. Sways, spring/shocks, wheels tires
3. Make it look good if exterior mods are your thing.

Get a turbo

>>15153156
What about that post is ricer?
The exhaust?
The suspension mods?
The optional exterior mods?
Or are you referring to the autoX spec miata I posted?

You could put a little basket on the passenger side that holds your scissors, trimmer, blow dyer, and hair dyes
>>
>>15152784
>Sway bars, tires, coilovers (keep at stock height unless you want to attract attention or w/e) for "muh grip" and "muh handling" = able to take corners faster - you should also make sure your brakes and shit are all gud-2-go and not running some cheap-ass pads
>Lighter flywheel for better throttle response
>Advance the timing a few degrees for more low-end torque, although you lose some top-end power, but if you hit up the touge it doesn't matter much (it will require pretty much require you to run premium fuel or whatever the fuck you guys call it there, otherwise you'll end up with pinging/detonation and fuck your shit up)
>If it's a 1.6L, replace the MAF with one from an FC RX-7 - the sensor is better/less restrictive
>Aftermarket ECU if you can get an intake that isn't garbage (doubt it, you're probably 2poor) and exhaust - tune it; keep it in the stock location under the carpet if possible
>I recommend Racing Beat's air intake for the NA as it's pretty much one of the only two dyno proven intakes for the first generation, alternatively there's the "Randall" cowl intake which requires you to cut a hole in the firewall - so you may regret it later on if you choose that one instead, I don't advise it...
Of course you can make knockoffs of them, there is a thread on a DIY Racing Beat intake that'll save you money.
>Flyin' Miata high-flow catalytic converter is p much the only dyno proven cat for the NA, too... I wouldn't bother wasting money on any other brands
>"Muh weight reduction"
>Airbags? Chuck 'em if you have 'em, legally can, and aren't afraid of "muh safety".
>Other things you can get rid of are the scissor jack and spare tire if you have them (doubt this too)
>If you don't like driving top-down and have a hardtop, you can uninstall the soft top... you can also delete the air conditioning - both of these will shed the most weight of anything you can take out of the car, besides the passenger seat

There is just about nothing you can do that adds a decent amount of power that a police officer won't notice.

Also this >>15153126

Oops, 1.6 uses an AFM not MAF... I think. Forgot, fug it w/e. Anyway, IIRC, the OBX header is p gud for the NA (I've heard it flows better than Racing Beat's header as well, and it's a bit cheaper)... but you won't really get any gains from it if you don't change out the exhaust/intake completely and get a tune. Headers and shit are usually expensive as fuck so I don't really recommend it unless you have le daddies monies or something. Maybe look into getting a 6spd transmission so you can get some shorter gearing. And if you don't like the car much/don't think you'll be driving it for long, then don't do shit to it you faggot. Just sayin'. I see so many dumb fucking kids tear shit out their cars and buy cheap garbage that makes it ride like ass, so they bitch about it/lose interest and sell it as a steaming pile of shit. Don't be a cunt.

If you can't afford an ECU, something you can read up on is the "crystal mod".

You can also try this shit but it's probably 2advanced4u. Oh, and if you have a 1.8 and can get your hands on a '99 flat-top intake manifold, fucking do it. Best flow.

Why'd you buy a slow meme car if you wanted a fast car?
>>
>>15153423
>>15153468
Oh, PS: You'll still be fucking slow as fuck without boosting it, lmao - just not AS slow. If you think you could get away with ITBs instead of an air intake then fucking go for it, even better throttle response. Even more fucking expensive though, but IDK, maybe they're more common where you live, and if so, fuck you, lucky bastard.

>>15152784
>so im getting my probationary licence in a week

You evidently don't feel like you're on probation as a new driver and learning how to be a careful driving. Since you expect to drive your car in "performance style" you'll be one of the risky drivers.

New drivers pick up habits that will stick with them the rest of their driving life. Why not learn how to be a good driver instead of a power-hungry arrogant "performance" driver? Otherwise, you're going to end up training yourself to always be one of those "arrogant performance" drivers you probably already mocked for their inconsiderate driving as a passenger.

There isn't really anything you can do to the miata outside of turbo and supercharger

If you wanted something fast you already messed up.

Pull the rice eating engine and drop in a small block Ford V-8
Some Mustang Engine mounts line up with the existing Series 1 cars

Go online look up Monster Miata
This guy sells a kit, you supply the labor and engine
Did this to my '89 1/2, everything worked great, insurance went up, pulled everything from the car that was not needed for driving, everything
Let my son (16) drive it (just around the block), he wrecked it, totaled the car, he was not too hurt, went to the hospital, told the police I was going to kill him, I am but I will wait until he forgets, informed him that his college fund is now my Miata replacement fund, been 6 months and I finally found the body I want and am now working on the engine, kid wants to know about college, he is out of school in 2 weeks, told him, go to the Community school, start working or join the Military for the GI Bill, not my problem anymore, he has until July 1st to come up with a plan September he is out the door

>>15157183

honestly, it's kinda your fault for letting him drive it.

You should suck it up and help him with college.

With a Miata I'll be stuck going slow for much longer

I owned a civic
sold it to buy a miata
>With a Miata I'll be stuck going slow for much longer
Yeah you won't win stoplight drag races but the miata is plenty fast and much more fun on curvy roads
>>
>>15157622
>stoplight drag
Why are you acting I care about that?

And there are many people on this board that have sold miatas for civic and corolla fx
>>
>>15157690
Are you asking questions just to ask questions? Or are you looking for genuine responses?
>>
>>15157700
Genuine responses.
God, every Miata owner I talk to acts like this.
>>
>>15157700
Baikufag here. The twisties are fun on a bike, but what's the appeal of twisties in a car? It seems like you'd just get beat around a lot, and you don't have much room to get a good line unless you leave your lane. I've never been on the twisties in my 2000 Pontiac Shitbox® so I don't get it.
>>
>>15157719
>asks for genuine responses
>gives the most autismo replies to a subjective fact

Just get a civic. Since, obviously the "proof" of the 0-60 being 8 seconds instead of 9 seconds is more important for you than the fact a lot of people say the miata is fun/a driver's car and not the corolla's competitor as an appliance

Fuck I hate busriding benchracing faggots.

I even hate the miata too and you're stupid enough to trigger me.
>>
>>15157784
Why are you projecting? This isn't about 0-60 times.
>>
>>15157784
maybe its the fact everyone in a miata acts like a complete asshole

Just wait until you are off your P's then buy a SS Turpo Falcadore if you want something that isn't gutless.
