Maybe, down the road, you could breathe on it a little. 20 HP should, while taking care not to ruin the look & nature of the car, not be too difficult to extract.


Don't get me wrong, the thing is a blast to drive and is peppy, but it could use a bit more low end grunt.

I'm thinking some head work coupled with a less restrictive exhaust (but not a boy racer fart pipe) might do the trick.

Used engines for these cars are plentiful and cheap.  It might be fun to pick up a sound, used long block and see what I could do to one in my spare time.

Flying Miata has engine parts out the ass. You can get 20 with no problem.

And out of all the exhaust systems I've heard I like the Racing beat and Flying Miata ones the most. I've got a Jackson Racing one and it made a much larger difference the I thought it would. But it's noise was just too much and I had to take it off.

Hey, any Miata guys want a Jackson racing system!!??

Probably not very well. It's for the 1.6 so I don't think it work.

wow, I just realized that 2010 isn't the year of the Infiniti World Takeover.


2010 is the year of the Miata World Takeover
