Total Miata Noob
Hi everyone! I'm a total noob to miatas but skilled in cars in general, I'm currently halfway through my two year automotive course and service my families fleet ( yes its a fleet) of five cars (soon to be six though). I like miatas because of the drivability, I was initially pulled into the world of 240s but if you don't have a fancy motor swap you aren't worth looking at. I don't own a miata but plan on buying one soon. I like making sure all my ducks are lined up before I pull the trigger, but indecision isn't my thing. Ill be browsing around looking for answers to my questions and probably ask a few in the next couple of days.

Keep the original motor, buy an identical motor and trans of whatever is in the car, do a full rebuild to 150HP na, and drop it in when the original goes bad. Then rebuild the original turboed and see how far I can go on two motors.:bigtu:

The likeliness of BP's just up and popping are pretty slim. Unless they're treated poorly, which I'm assuming, considering your credentials you wouldn't let happen. Or you're a bit over 250ft/lbs and have a poor tune.
