If you had to do it all over again, 2010 edition.

If I had to start over? Tough question. I love the styling of my MSM and it came with all kinds of stuff I'd end up buying anyhow. But for the best learning experience I "should have" started with a '94.
Then again, when I had an NA, women just said, "Cute car," and left it at that. When I got an NB, I started getting laid more.

If I had to start over I'd go LS if the options include a V-8 swap.
If you're talking about staying with the 4 cylinder Miata engine, and I had an endless budget, then I know exactly what I'd do.
Carillo H beam rods, Wiseco +1mm pistons, I think I'd run somewhere like 600cc injectors, FM Level II clutch, MS2 Standalone, EBC, LC-1, I'd probably use a custom absurb flow manifold with 3" DP all the way back to maybe a small bullet style muffler? I'd run an internally wastegated GT2871. I would want about 7psi on wastegate, and maybe 18-20psi on EBC. I'd want about 325whp. If anybody has ever rode in a miata with a turbo'd 4 and that much *****, then they'd realize that there is no reason anybody needs that kind of power. Sometimes I'm glad I have a limited car expense and have under 250whp, cause to me, my car hauls ***. I can't even imagine what cars like Jay-L and Paul's Red Beast feel like!
