Lol endless list, but coil overs next Then better the suspension with things like sway bars, end links, strut bars, etc. and a supercharger when I feel the car ready for one. Maybe turbo kit need to do more research on them then make a decision, but boost is a sure thing.

Turbo is the way to go with a miata.

for reference on the turbo stuff, my car is a stock block 179k mile motor, with a td-04h turbo @ 14psi, @10 i walked a stock 5L foxbody mustang.
and the pic made me laugh in a college lecture , figured it would be an awesome avatar pic.

I was smoking Mach 1's, GT's, and other blue oval V8 garbage at the 1/8th mile in my heavy, air conditioned Miata with a cheap Chinese turbo at 9-10psi. That was my only time at the drag track and it was an accident that I was even there. I was completely unprepared and on old street tires.
