okay i was wondering what are the weaker links of the miata motor/driveline? but i am asking before i buy a miata so i know what i can expect.i would eventually plan on going turbo with the car as well. i also was wondering from what little i have looked around so far why everyone's going with such a small turbo(disco potato), i am use to seeing honda's that are running holsets, so that turbo is way tiny then your average holset. but i went and test drove a nice little NA miata with the 1.8L(1996) which seemed like it could be a fun car with more power.

Problem is at the Honduh fanbois forums this kind of ignorant question is asked and answered on a daily basis. Other forums pander to this kind of ignorant thread instead of stopping them dead in their tracks as should happen. Do we need to be nicer to noobs at times? Absolutely. Do guys like Weepymanch need a fast hard dope slap? Absolutely.
Want a serious answer? Stock motor, tranny and rear end gets very iffy past 250hp. Some guys make up to 300hp without trouble but others are breaking stuff at 200hp. Why do people use the disco potato and other small turbo's? Because they are appropriately sized for those power levels.
Any other stupid questions answered thoroughly and repeatedly on this forum you want to ask?
