Best set up?
#21
My summer project was going to be buying a 1.8, bore .060 oversize, dif cams 10:1 pistons, lightweight cam shaft, port and polish the head, a mani like your display, and a few other little things... but it got to be that the price list was getting expensive... esp since im tryin to get my own appt and i just bought a brand new car... 17k cash and a 5k loan... so miata has taken a backseat prioirty unfort.

dude, you better do some research. you don't want to go to 10:1 pistons with a turbo. you should go the other way. lower compression.
and whats this with a light weight cam? i have never heard of that. the diameter is so small i don't think the mass of the cam makes much difference.

plus one on the tokicos...thats what i was thinking...
if you want to get faster on the trackand you already make lots of power i would say stay away from building another motor for nowcause a good suspension will be of bigger benefit to you...tokicos are not that great, they are on the cheap/low end
look into some Koni's (not konig) or some custom valved bilstein that come stock on some miatas...and then decide on your coilover set up, i sway towards the ground control perches and eibach springs that come with it...and then get your car corner weighted and your alignement set properly by someonethat knows what they are doing

I'd compare the illuminums to the koni yellows.
it's not by any means a good race setup.
you need better dampening shocks with full suspension travel, increased spring rates, body stiffening, etc.
im telling ya, check out fatcatmotorsports.com, its a great place to start.

the tokico's have a **** on top, so they are out...
and so are the KYB's they adjust on top as well

i do remember seeing some white shocks that had the **** on the shock body, it may be an older version of the tokico's which is what the one i have seen were (as well as my memory serves me)
