Four generations in, is the NA Miata still the best answer? | Articles

The one part you get wrong is the specific NA part. It should be any one that fits in your overall budget. And can find. I think they are all just that good. 

Doesn’t that ’92 project car also have a Flyin’ Miata Link ECU? That’s where most of the power gains came from.

An NA in good stock condition is something everyone should experience. I took a customer along in my survivor 1990 on one of our tours during the FM Summer Camp and it was the first time he’d ever been in an NA that wasn’t a rat. It’s easy to forget how good they feel when they’re not rattling and shuddering and constantly bottoming out and cosmetically challenged. Heck, I’d forgotten and I know!

Remember that clean 94 I had for sale for my parents? My mom now drives that more than her C6 Corvette and it’s no longer for sale. I still think my S2000 is a better car by leaps and bounds but I love driving that NA around whenever I’m at their house. 

And like you said, you just don’t see clean ones around anymore. I think as a family we’ll collectively hold on to this one for that sake alone. 

I have had a few as Keith know. I will say my 94 with just koni’s and a FSB set up for ES was an absolute blast.

My MSM with bolt ons and a proper ECU sure is a ton of fun…
