If we’re talking laptimes or autocross shorter diff ratio, coilovers and a good wheel and tire combo will greatly improve your performance. The bucket seat is just there to so you don’t slide around in the stock seats. If we’re talking drag racing or street light racing, anything aside from the shorter ratio and tires won’t make a difference and even those aren’t significant, that’s why he mentioned FI.

Six-speed transmission can only do so much. The 6-speed transmission in the NB Miata is actually the same as the first transmission yet they crammed another gear in it. They didn't redesign it. From a reliability standpoint and cost to replace gearboxes, 6 Speed being at $300, 5 speed being at 50 bucks, it doesn't make a difference. Of course if you trying to increase horsepower or speed by any means yeah go for it

Honestly unless you have gone for FI you really don't need more than 7" wheels with 195-215 tyre widths. 195s for fun progressive breakaway, and for cheap practice tyres, 205/215 for setting lap times. Also a roll cage I would say is essential to any tracked convertible, half cages are cheap, light and adequate for most non competitive usage. Mx5s also benefit greatly from a tailored geometry setup, especially with coils. Best bucket seats I've sat in are transplants from an S2 Elise, can be picked up for £400 for both, comfy, well bolstered and importantly very light seat, a good 10kg weight saving per chair, particularly if you have leather tombstones which weigh a ton.

If you keep it NA, do the air intake last or not at all. My Protege 1.5 needs a racing clutch as the stock one only holds half throttle. Exhaust, cams, pulleys, weight reduction, port/polish should be done first. A drop in K&N air filter for the stock airbox is the only option I recommend. No crappy aftermarket cone/tubes as they improve low rpm but kill the VRIS system. Also most NA mazdas VRIS systems are ruined when adding A turbo or supercharger. VRIS is similar in effect to VTEC at 4k rpm you should get a kick when modified correctly.

Yeah, Turbo and Superchargers marry you to an expensive tuning process if you want to stay on top of it. Tuning and retuning with a software/dyno process is expensive asf. Go for it if you got the money, but turboing is something people fail to understand for street racers and every day drivers. Doesn't seem worth it at all. Exhaust is another good idea though.

@Bbeavis

5 ай бұрын

What something is worth to people on their cars is all so very relative, I can never tell someone whether a modification is 'worth it' for them - so while I agree forced induction can be costly, and complex - its value to a person depends on what they want to do and what their budget may be. Cant argue with you, exhaust is almost always a nice choice for some noise, personality and a little extra power.

@@ZacharySound In my experience I've found that even a completely standard NA MX-5 suffers without an LSD at the track, and have lap times to improve it. Perhaps your canyon roads don't amplify that need in the same way a race track does. You suggest an LSD is a "very expensive swap" but then you immediately suggest "full replacement suspension" is the first thing you would do on a car.... replacement suspension can often far exceed the cost of an LSD center.

If you are only after outright speed on a budget, probably best to get a later NB with the 6spd gearbox. They are the best starting base.

BEAVIS Motorsport ive heard that the 6 speed has worse shifting feel than the 5 speed ones.. is that true?

@justbryce7023

6 жыл бұрын

The 6 speed's top gear has a higher gear ratio than the 5 speed's top gear, meaning your top speed is actually lower with a 6 speed. It's marginal though something like .67 in the top gear of the 6 speed to .62 in the top gear of the 5 speed (not exactly but close to that).

@justbryce7023

Its actually .83 in the 6 speed overdrive versus .81 in the 5 speed overdrive... so a pretty small difference, both are going to drone in the low 4 thousands when cruising at 80. This calculator is pretty nice> www.flyinmiata.com/tech/gearing.php

bought my 1.6 with the 1.8 LSD already installed by a previous owner, so the gearing is much better... except on the highway.

Faster doesn't always mean in a straight line, and this channel is clearly about going faster around a track that features corners. However, differential gear ratios and limited slip centres will help with acceleration and traction from a standing start, along with some good tyres. You also appear to have missed the bonus tip of going for forced induction.

tyres and breakesare the nr 1 tip to make u faster :) ... 3.6 torsen is so rare u can't blame it , it's the most expensive diff..

Yes absolutely. You'll be able to control the car better, have better feel for the thing, and be able to use your muscles to steer the car rather than try hold yourself in the cockpit. All of which will result in faster lap times.

There are cars that go for similar money here in Aus, however they aren't usually in great condition. Generally we need to spend about twice that (4000eur, 6000aud ) for a reasonable car.
