What is your vision of a Pro Street Miata?
I could not be any happier with my Track Prepped Miata. It exceeded all expectations! I am now looking to replace my current weekend toy with a Pro Street style Miata. What would your vision be? Where do you draw the line between street/track mods? I live in NorCal so Heat/AC are not big deals. I could live with AC more so that heat if given the choice. So far this is what I have. NB2 TSE turbo kit TSE/MS3 TSE Built block Mild head work Xida ACE (rates?) Poly Bronze suspension bushings TC Design roll bar with half door bars Lotus seats 949 10” wheels with R-S4 tires 11.75 Wilwood front, stock 1.8 rear. 6 speed 3.9 Torsen |
I'm currently building essentially this, but probably isn't the power most people are looking for.
Subject is a super clean 99. Mechanicals Remove PS, keep AC and CC RB header, RB midpipe, RB muffler K&N Intake Junk2 TB 5A intake cam BP5A ecu Q-Max reroute Emissions removed Fuel system converted to return style to keep ECU happy Xidas/Baller Bilsteins (I removed Xidas from the car in favor of Baller Bilsteins) SadFAP durrlin control arm bushings V8R RUCAs V8R aluminum rack bushings MR delrin diff bushings V8R 62A billet motor mounts Sport brakes/Master/Booster/949 lines RB 1.25" front bar, MSM rear, 949 endlinks all around ACT HDSS/ACT Pro-Lite flywheel/949 clutch line 6spd/4.30 205/50 VR1s Exterior Projector HID retrofit Morimoto LED fogs NB2 tails 15x8.5 Konig Hypergrams Matched hardtop NB1 "appearance package" or whatever it's called. OEM lip and small tupperware Interior NA carpet in black (Loop > pile) NA cloth seats in black (NA seats > NB seats) Jet Stream shorty shift console MR tall/angled shifter w/ Carbing High Grip Soft top thrown in garbage where it belongs GS hard top brackets Sony AA headunit/Soundstream nano amp/Focal 8" components Airbags removed Bell hub adapter/ATC Sprint 350mm wheel Revlimiter gauge cluster Switches/hvac updated to NB2 for red lighting because green is gross NB2 window switch LRB flat door panels with NA6 crash pads wrapped in NA cloth seat fabric I've had many Miatas. I'm probably more excited about this one than i have about any of my others because it's everything i've liked about all of them, but in a package i can stand to live with on a daily basis. |
Sounds familiar :party:
https://www.miataturbo.net/build-thr...hp-bust-84579/ Cliffs: NB2 w/ ABS Trackspeed Stage 2 longblock Trackspeed EFR6758 MS Labs MS3 w/ flex fuel 300whp on CA91, 415whp E85, no laptop to switch between them XIDA Ace, stock FSB/RSB 15x9s and 245 RS4s (fits 10s, 9s are comfier) 11.75s front, Sport rears Blackbird single-diagonal NB bar in 3% gloss black Racelogic TCS Morimoto HIDs Elise seats Hardwired Valentine One Come down and get a ride when the BMW 6sp is installed. |
Basically some copy/pasting from all 3 posted thus far :party: But a few changes
NB2 w/ ABS (02 SE would be great) Trackspeed Stage 2 longblock Trackspeed EFR6258 kit MS3 230rwhp mountain-tune, 300rwhp ego-tune XIDA Ace, stock FSB/RSB, soft rates(whatever they tell me to run) Keisler drop-spindles Sadfab Poly Bronze 6spd w/ 3.9 ACT organic to handle 350ftlbs w/ 10.5 pro-lite flywheel 15x10s and 245 RS4s 4" front splitter / BFW rear spoiler 11.75s front, Sport rears HD Roll-bar Projector HID retrofit Elise seats Black cloth interior w/ some diy sound deadening A nice leather steering wheel Comfy Schroth Pro-Fi harnesses Black cloth soft-top(I've been caught in the sudden rain in the mountains 1 too many times) MR shifter(any config, but a must-have) |
Sounds like I am on the right path. I’ll need to budget for a built long block though. ABS is more popular that I expected. Sav I’ll take you up on that offer. I’ll also cart down some E85 :). I like the idea of 9”s for the street. Given the usage the added comfort would be a welcome trade off. |
I'm going to go off the reservation here, but if its for a primarily street car:
NC3 Club (White w/ Red or Red w/ Black) soft-top (I don't like the look of the PRHT) Super20 flares AutoEXE front lip NOPRO Spoiler BBFW RZ roll bar in Red Advan RGII's or Gram Lite 57C6's Bilstein DIY coilovers (or Xida's if they ever manifest) Fab9 EFR turbo kit with full 3" turbo back ( :blah: ) Hardtop (for the winter) |
If you really want to go off the reservation you’d be talking ND. Thought about that briefly too but came right back around to the NB. I was tempted by a NA with NB1 motor but in the end I think the NB is best. |
Double post |
Unpopular opinion: For street/DD things, NC or FRS/BRZ will both be better options at same price end game as NB.
If i had gotten my NB even 6 months later, i would have not gotten it, and gotten an NC/FRS/BRZ instead. Not mad. Just a small bit of "dammit!" |
If you want to cut out much of the work to get there (basically most everything save the turbo kit and pleb xida's) let me know. I have a car in socal I'll be selling that is the NA version of the build you are discussing.

This was kind of my target with my current car. I bought a high mile 2000 SE and dropped the ghetto-rods only motor out of my 11.6 @ 124 gutted NA car into it. There's certainly some potential left in it, but I broke my last 6 speed trying to push the limits. I feel like mid 300's is a good "safe-ish" range for the drivetrain.
Every day I come outside and look at my "daily driver" g35, think "not today", and I get in my miata instead. I think I've actually driven my daily driver once in the last 2 weeks, when it was raining. |

I'd do something like acamas but with a 3.6 rear (vs the 3.9 I think he has)

Are you able to loosely ballpark the price? Say... 500-1000usd, for example.

I'm building what I consider a fun street car. Boost is fun but I love how naturally aspirated miatas can be thrashed pretty much anywhere all the time.
Still have a fair amount to do but the ending is this: - 1999 NB1 w/5 speed and 4.30 torsen - 15x9 Storm S1 w/225 Rival - Ohlins DFV coilovers - IRP shifter - Harddog rollbar - Momo Start seats - PCI seat mounts - Schroth harnesses - OMP Corsica 330 steering wheel - RB header - Goodwin Racing catback - Blackbird Fabworx engine mounts - RB swaybars - RB front swaybar brace - Braided brake and clutch lines |

Looks like Falcone still has my BRZ for sale. You should go test drive it. Still has the MXP exhaust and Ground Control coilovers.
Not buying anything that isn't a house at the moment. |
My Pro Street Miata would be a typical build, in the past I've ruined to many cars I drive daily.
ND Miata Softer setup of XIDAs 17x9 sticky tires Full Exhaust and flash (E85 if they have one now) Roll bar BBKs Engine, oil, diff coolers Enjoy. |
