Mazda’s Miata is often an underrated choice that has earned its reputation as a top pick for those seeking a reasonably priced drift car.

These lightweight roadsters deliver sideways go-kart-style vibes, often along with a bargain price tag, and these ultimate Miata tuning guides will help you take that experience to the next level.

We start with the essentials that transform the Miata’s handling – from adjustable coilovers that leave it cornering like it’s on rails while dialing in the perfect stance, to perfect-fitting racing seats that’ll keep you planted when you can’t resist the temptation of throwing it sideways. (Let’s face it, we all know the stock seats aren’t ideal for holding you in place!).

For those looking to add some growl to the Miata’s top-down experience, look no further than the exhaust guide. We’ve also taken a deep dive into the various cold air intake options to help the four-cylinder breathe a little better (though don’t expect that magical “50 hp gain” some parts might promise).

Or, maybe you’re ready to leave the underwhelming stock power behind? If so, our forced induction guides explore turbo kits and supercharger options for each Miata generation. We also provide honest figures and supporting mods you’ll need to keep your boosted Miata reliable.

If you’re tired of hitting the ceiling with what the stock engine can deliver, or are not keen on the forced induction idea (we get it), we also explore the most popular Miata engine swaps. These can transform your humble lightweight roadster into something that’ll make muscle car owners question their life choices at the lights, in the canyons, AND on the track.

Whether you’re planning occasional weekend autocross events or a dedicated drift car (Mad Mike style!), these guides will save you time, money, and headaches. We combine our knowledge with feedback from the wider Miata community to tell you what modifications deliver optimal results to deliver the best bang-for-your-buck.

These guides are perfect for Miata enthusiasts at any stage of their build journey – from first-time owners discovering the joy of the short wheelbase roadster to those simply looking to extract every last bit of performance potential from their NA, NB, NC, or ND.
