So far I've done coilovers, wheels, swaybars. Went for Tein Flex Z with racing beat swaybars, and 15x8+25 wheels with 205 50r15. Car sits very low but has no issues clearing driveways and stuff, has never bottomed out. Handles like a dream. The coilovers made the ride quality better, surprisingly. I guess the OEM suspension on my 05' were tired. Not too harsh but a very noticeable handling upgrade. I need to go get a professional alignment now, but next on my list is mechanical locking differential, full exhaust, cold air intake, better radiator. Somewhere down the line i'm going to choose between turbo, K24 swap or ITBs. Leaning hard towards ITBs because I want to keep reliability high (car has 40,000 miles and is pristine). I can't wait man, these cars are so fun to modify and drive. It's my first project car and if I can, i'm going to try to keep it forever. I've driven very fast cars before and none were as fun as this tiny roadster with barely over 100 horsepower. Mazda really achieved something with these cars. Even my fiancee who has no interest in cars for the most part loves it, and is starting to show interest in them because of it. She helped me install the coilovers and rode along for the test drive afterwards. Pretty crazy considering 4 months ago she would only begrudgingly tolerate me talking about cars, lol. I think miatas are the ultimate hobby car and a great first car for people to learn with, as I am.
