I would like to learn to drive a miata stock, then upgrade slowly. Driver mod is the most important ;)

OBD1 so you dont have to fk around with OBD2 (plug-in) emissions tests. with OBD1 you can pass with an aftermarket EMS, since it's just a tailpipe test. my escort passes no problem.

I like it b/c it is newer, has the stronger head/1.8/diff/etc I'm not too worried about the color, though I prefer a blue.

For the money, buy a '94 that somebody has already started on. You can find'em that already have some suspension stuff and a rollbar to be a bit ahead. Guys sell cars just like that all the time on this forum.

1998
|
04 MSM or 02SE only because I have one lol. The FAQ on miata.net will be a good place for you to look btw.

Hey asshole, I thought it got discontinued in 98. I guess I was wrong :crx:
lol Side note- this thread reeks of troll. It's such a loaded question....ther eis no specific answer...just preference. |
Well it's not a troll thread. I am looking to buy a Miata, and would like to know what year is the best to look out for.
Reasonable question if you ask me :dunno: |
Advantages of the 94. 1.8L engine. Lowest compression engine. Last year of OBD1. Torsen rear end. Last year with a real oil pressure gauge. Oil port in block for turbo. Bigger brakes.
1.8L - extra displacement doesn't hurt. Also corrected some problems with the early 1.6 short nose crank. Doesn't have the bottom end problems that crop up in the 99. Low compression engine is good for boost. OBD1 means just a sniffer test for emissions. OBD2 and you have to have the stock ecu in place for them to plug into. Torsen is a good rear end for the track unless you go huge HP. Earlier 1.6L years had viscous. Real oil pressure gauge means you don't have to buy one aftermarket - minor bonus. The block oil port is just a convenience and ease of install thing. The 1.8 cars have more brake under them than the earlier 1.6's. The stock brakes with proper pads can take care of you just fine until you combine significant boost and heavy road coarse duty. That being said, people have and enjoy every year built. Each year has it's own issues. 94 just happens to be a pretty great year for people wanting to go FI. |

But I like knowing where everything is on my car. |

i think sombody on here said "the NB is a better car but the NA is a better roadster" |
06+ is the best
|
1990 because the crank is lighter.
