Best mods to do to a Miata

10 May 2016

As an owner of a nb Miata I have done a few mods that I have found to really improve the car

Exhaust: putting on an exhaust system will really make the car sound and feel a lot better. There is nothing better thank hearing the Miata breath
Roll bar: do not buy a style bar. Style bars provide no safety and look stupid. A roll bar will really stiffen the body and provide a lot better protection. An average roll bar cost about $500 and good brands are hard dog, boss frog, and a few other really good smaller companies
Intake: although you will see almost no gains from a intake they look good and a pod filter gives a nice throaty sound at low rpms. I have a ARC super magic intake chamber and it is really nice although they run around $250-$400 dollars

4.Header: a header for any Miata will really improve performance and really free up exhaust flow. The racing beat header is probably the most popular and one of the best bang for your buck upgrades

Sway bars: the stock sway bars are so soft and a good set of sway bars will really improve body roll and improve handling

Other good modifications include
Exhintake cam swap
Racing seat I have an ultrashield seat
Lsd swap If you don’t have one
Coilovers
Turbo lol cuz more power
Square top manifold
New wheels and tires

Please let me know if you think this list is good and what mods you have done

That 4 pot sound lol. Good post to get started!

looks like a baby viper with stripes XD

Lol surprisingly a lot of people have said that

I’ll have my dad custom machine a small v10 for it lol

exactly what i was thinking :)

Best mod. Sell it and buy an s2000

But torque bro

a stock 1.8 has more torque than an s2k :D
For real tho, an MX5 with the budget of an s2k would wype the flore with almost anything.

Alignment and decent tyres without a doubt. Completely transforms the handling (in a much more positive way than simply throwing coilovers on) and easily the best bang-for-buck mod you can do.

It’s worth noting that a lot of the mods you mention are arguable when it comes to improving performance.
