welcome.

Intake
exhaust
bit of timing


other than that, it gets expensive.

The above and good suspension, tires, roll bar and just enjoy it in ways that don't involve straight roads.

PS - you don't need to type in capital letters all the time.
it comes across as yelling.

If you genuinely are new to Internet/computers...

welcome alex.

i bet it's a different car to what you're accustomed to, missing some cylinders, some doors, some seats, some roofs.

your na6 is 1.6l engine or something else, with existing mods or not?

maybe meet up with other mx5 enthusiasts and they can see the car and advise you on mods if you have a budget.. otherwise full hog ls1 swap :lol:

If you want it to hammer it has to be turbo.
These cars were never meant to 'hammer.'

In my life I have dríven Commodores ranging from VKs to dads current VE.
The mx5 is so far removed from the commy that it's strange to refer to both of them as cars.

I'm sure you'll love the change, but don't get hung up on power.

You'll be the fastest thing round your favourite twisty road anyway.

I'm interested in how corners remembered where he had seen that car before!

Maybe VPBROCKIE is corners in disguise?
