whats next?

[miataguy2cyprus]

ok, i've put new rims, new tires, an oil catch tank, TEIN suspension, a fuel pressure regulator, apexi sparks and air filter with a DIY intake, 4-2-1 jasma headers with a twister exhaust and a strut bar.

so what do you suggest for next? my engine is 1.6L and i dont plan going on forced induction (at least not for now). i was thinking for my next step a lightened crank pulley or flywheel-pressure plate-new disc. http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid=4531&parentid=0&stocknumber=08-36005

How about hosing down the engine?

Do the newer 1.6's still use a CAS? If so, advance the timing a bit.

Have you considered a roll bar such as the Hard Dog Hard Core?

 

[k-lea]

More suspension parts, pls.

yes a roll bar is in my summer plans isnt it a bit dangerous advancing the timing? i'm cleaning it soon before the next cyprus miata club meeting

like? i was thinking about another strus bar at the back of the car.



p.s has anyone tried the "happy meal" from flying miata? or do you have any suggestions for flywheel?

Advance to 14-16* BTDC, run premium fuel (91-93) and you'll be fine.

I don't think a strut bar is necessary the rear.

What TEIN setup do you have now?

If anything upgrade your front sway bar.

 

[miataguy2cyprus]

i think this is the one:

pretty good and stiff

 

[k-lea]

I run the Tein SS.

Anywho, sway bars, end links, member brace?

hehe, you said member.

right. anyway, subframe bracing is definately a plus. It's likely you could use a larger front sway while completely removing the rear as such a combination with such a shock/spring combo will yeild predictable and neutral handling.

 

[k-lea]

I think my member is hot.

I'm guessing you don't have one

I didn't think it'd do anything either... but then again I was skeptical when i ordered my front strut bar... and thats what started my whole suspension quest.

what's next?

how about you drive the damn thing?

 

[aMaff]

Hey, there will be no fraternizing between moderators!

 

[miataguy2cyprus]

what's next?

how about you drive the damn thing?

that's already done. unfortunately we dont have a track in cyprus so we drift in parking places

for now i dont need any more suspension mods. the rollbar and probably aftermarket brake discs will set on till summer. the thing is that i need a few more hp so it can spin more easily. sooooo any suggestions for some extra hp?

 

[k-lea]

In my opinion, you can never have too many suspension mods.

How about a turbo?

 

[Kansei]

I'm guessing you don't have one

You'd guess wrong.

i know it might sound funny but in cyprus the law is strict about car modifications. so i cant turbo a 1.6 mx5, only a 1.8 because there is stock turbo 1.8 . so i'll stick to normally aspirated until the law changes

 

[k-lea]

Whoa, I'd shoot myself if I lived there.

 

[aMaff]

could you swap in a 1.8 and turbo it?

 

[miataguy2cyprus]

thought of that, long paper-procedure.

yeap thats what i think every winter season. i hope with the opening of the first track things might change.
