Stuck.
Well, I'm at a cross road.
I currently own a 2000 special edition Miata, sitting on Megan's, work equip 01's, garagestar rollbar, wrapped in brown. But, finding myself pulled back to a NA, and wanting to boost one. My question is, what should I do.
is it "easier" to achieve 200 whp with a NA, or NB. I have read extensively and all over, and it goes back and forth between people saying 1.6's handle boost better, and then 1.8's do. I'm pretty drawn to 94's because 1.8, and before they went OBDII
Kinda lost, I really do enjoy NA's a lot, and then get into the mindset of "alright I'm gonna get a NA, I like them better than nb's" then i look at my car and I get the pre break up emotions of "but wait, we've been through so much, let's work things out"
I've just decided to have you guys decide for me
I could try to sell and possibly purchase something on this forum or even trade. Or, I could boost my car. But, there would be more potential / easier on my wallet if I were to sell this and buy a NA.
HELP.

I don't know where you heard that, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't around here. You've already got a car with a 6 speed, 3.9 torsen, and other NB advantages. No reason to sell your car unless you really think you need to for emissions. And there are folks here who just remove all the turbo stuff for emissions yearly.

Emissions would not be an issue cause I have a few people I can go to. I was just wondering what would be easiest to boost, but those are good points about the 6 speed and lsd. My cars in good shape, just a leak I have to fix. But thanks for the response guys, I probably will end up keeping my car and boosting it.

Then you should for sure sell the 2000 and buy 94 then source and swap a 1.8, 6 speed and 3.9 torsen into it. You should also pull the fenders to have the room for bigger tires like and NB. You may want to consider getting rid of the NA headlights to have more room like the NB. If you are feeling it maybe source and swap a superior NB subframe into your NA.....

Pretty sure I saw that thing on CL for a very long time.
For some obscenely high price.
And also some "warning" ads from some other guy saying that it's a ripoff and you're trying to flip it for several thousand more than you bought it for.
lol
That color is not common, so I highly doubt it's a different car
