I just a bunch of boxes from various places the other day for the Miata.

So far I have a corksport drift exhaust, FM butterfly brace, eibach prokit and KYB AGXs, and an intake kit. I want to order some more things but I am not sure what to get next. I am trying to force myself to stay NA as long as I can and I am looking for some exterior upgrades more than performance right now.

I am stuck on either going flush mount headlights, or getting CF mirrors and a small CF deck spoiler, not a wing just like a lil lip.

how about a 13b?

ya except for that is a really bad idea, I have to drive this car everyday and A SC is already waiting for it.

Fender flares and fat tires. Like this:

The taillights suck, but other than that, it's pretty decent.

Put that bitch on there!

Just waiting on a couple of other choice components to show up. Because this is my daily I cannot have it down for more than a couple of hours at a time.

The SC I have here is supposed to give an estimated 210hp and 160ft lbs of touqe or somewhere around there. I dyoned the car right after I got it to get a baseline of where I was starting at and the lil 1.8 is pretty strong 109whp is not bad for a car that is nearing 100k miles, I can see a built block in its near future going in, this is of course after my new toy hits 600hp, and this one has pistons.

210 and 160, eh? That'll be right along my NC's performance range (if the damn thing was running 100%.) We'll have to set up a day to hang out when you're laying down that kinda power. :3

My suggestions in a particular order? Rollbar (for track days), larger tires (if not already done), sway bars, strut tower braces, bushings, LSD. That's about the max for bolt on shit that is relatively easy to do, I'd recon. Externally, a new hood/bumper/lip/wing combo might do you well.

Does yours even run? :rofl:

lol, you bet your ass it runs, Mr. funny guy. Only problem currently (or so I and Tofuball recon) is the timing chain tensioner. Unfortunately, it's a common thing for them to fail and I'm guessing the time the engine sat in a junkyard didn't help it any.

Just waiting on my tax return to have a shop take a proper look at it. After all that hassle to put it in, I'm really in no mood to take it apart on my own with no workspace (especially in this weather.)

I feel your pain. I'm going to sue Al Gore and his fucking global warming bullshit for the fact that it is colder than Eskimo pussy around here. 20 tonight, not counting wind chill.

27 here, no wind chill thankfully.

I'll have it at 100% before I'm gone to boot, though. That much I swear (except if it turns out that I'm somehow wrong and it's another engine failure), since with the funds I'm expecting I can get the ECU tuned to run the new setup.

When do you ship to boot?

PM'd

Don't wanna thread hijack lol

You need to pollute more - get some volcanoes to go off.

This all depends on what you are looking to do with your car, do you want it to be a fast strait line car or do you want it to perform better in the corners? are you even looking for performance or would you rather go for looks....the problem with answering a question like yours is that none of us are you and though I like blue over red I'm not sure if you would. Here is what I would do, get better tires they are going to be your first best step to making your car handle better, after that look at sways dampeners and then springs (you can also just do coilovers) motor mounts are always a good thing to have as well....and make sure that you get a camber kit. What is the point of spending so much on a suspension setup if you can't tune it to how you want it to perform.
take this all with a grain of salt this is what I would do to a car I would much rather be fast then spend all my money on CF just for looks.
