Zen and the art of MX5 Modification

Brake mods, Cam profiles, compression ratios, turbos...
Isn't it good we don't have an organised competition series for MX5s in NZ.
Just think how tight lipped everyone would become.

hmmmmm... I don't think I know the best way to go about giving the 5 a bit
more poke though. I'm a turbo guy, but is the best way to go all out for
max hp from N/A, F/I or just do the Nitrous switch under the loud pedal???
Bang for bucks I would suspect NO/S but my clutch won't last much longer =/
I love my five, the way it handles and the way it moves, but I don't want to
wear my hat backwards, and I don't want them to beat me from the lights...

Hi
Nice one Clive,
did you consider using Turbo pistons with your rebuild?

Forged blanks have been ordered. Not made a decision yet on the compression.
Probably around the same to a little less.
