miatas are extremely fun to drive.. gay but fun to drive

Looks good! I like Miatas. Great stuff for hella cheap.


You need the N/A RX-7 LSD, axles & driveshaft & a great clutch. The 1.6L rear end has a tendancy to kill itself. Sometimes at 200-220, sometimes not till 250. Then again there are some that have failed 100% stock LoL!

for how much they cost, a miata is one of the funnest cars i've driven. and the motors are ------- awesome and can hold up to some decent power

ya, I'm suprised my rear ends held this long especially after some 12 runs at the strip. The only reason i hink its lasted this long is because I slip the clutch off the line and realistically the clutch doesn' have that instant lock between shifts which is probably enoough to save my dinky rear end.


theres a totaled miata sitting in my backyard with the larger 1.8 rear end (same casing, shafts, etc. as the rx-7 but with a gear type lsd and not a clutch pack style) I tried to swap it last summer when my turbo ---- was getting cermic coated however after shattering some sockets, I realized it wasn't coming out without a torch and I threw in the towel since I had a week and a half before I went back to college and Boston=no car.


I'm at the point now where I want to put a stouter rear end in, a stand alone, and ground controls with agx shock and sway, poly bushings, etc but college is a priority right now so I'm gonna wait until i can do it "right".....either that or i'm gonna sell the car and buy a 1.8 (94+) and piece together a turbo kit with some beefier compnents.

If you're already doin 12s I'd keep going with the car, do the better rear, with a bigger gear, a better clutch, stand alone with a couple more psi, thats prob a half second right there

Too bad you weren't closer, my cousin is selling his rx7 and you could've had some nice parts for cheap.. i'd go searching around the junkyards

no no, I WISH i was in the 12's, I meant I've probably done some 12-14 runs at the track all of which were in oor around mid 14's


the best I can muster as of yet is a 14.4 at 97, however (here come the excuses) it was extrememly humid and literally 96 degrees, the night I went my friends gti and sr20 sentra were running about2-3 tenths slower then when hey ran later that fall.

I'm hoping this year with better fueling and roughly a 100 lbs less weight and some 40 degree cooler air I can break into the 13's on a stock bottom end and ecu which I'll be happy with since stock is around 16.7. I think the new afpr and pump alon will help alot since at the track my car was running out of fuel up top.

I like miatas with hard tops, thought about gettin one but got the Z instead
