What performance parts should I put into my miata?
I have a 97 Mazda Miata and want to make it faster. I dont have enough money for a super/turbocharger and dont want NOS. I need cheaper upgrades under $500 per part like a $200 cold air intake or $30 spark plugs. I was also wondering about Those electric Superchargers and if they work. also please provide good websites to buy these items THANKS.
BTW its an automatic =[
I wish it was not an automatic! Maybe you do too!
Don't bother with the cold air intake unless it is one that provides ram air also. Jackson Racing makes a great one (http://www.miatamania.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=73251)
Then there is the exhaust header, Jackson Racing make one that is better then stock (http://www.miatamania.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=77235). But the spin offs on E-bay are a lot cheaper (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Raceland-Exhaust-Header-Mazda-Miata-MX5-NB-1-8L-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem19bfe23c59QQitemZ110593457241QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories) and you can get a hi-flow cat to go with it at the same time (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CATALYTIC-CONVERTER-23696-1994-1997-MAZDA-MIATA-/260561272261?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AMiata%7CYear%3A1997&hash=item3caaa97dc5) for less money. Your header may have cracks in it and need replaced anyway.
From there on back on the exhaust any changes (2.25 is the ideal exhaust system size) will help but not near as much as the above changes.
The electronic superchargers do not work according to Miata.net.
As a matter of fact that might be a good place to look for more information (http://forum.miata.net/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=10)
