What is the Cheapest Way to Boost the Mazda Miata's Performance?
Mazda Miata performance can be boosted several ways, and perhaps the least expensive is a tune-up with a hotter set of plugs and a re-gap of the plugs for maximum performance. You might also want to look online at say, eBay, to find out if there are any hotter chips for your Miata's microcomputer system that will add a few horsepower to the final output of your car. You may also want to make sure that your car's tires are up to pressure and that your trunk is free of extra weight. Plus, you may want to make sure that your car's transmission is in great shape.
