The Best NB Miata Mods for Handling, Power, and Fun!

In this video, Jake breaks down the best mods for the NB Mazda Miata and how to make the car sharper, quicker, and more fun without losing what makes the Miata special. He covers the suspension upgrades that make the biggest difference—coilovers or springs, sway bars, alignment, wheels/tires, and supporting handling mods—and explains how to set up an NB for street driving, canyon runs, autocross, or track use. Then he moves into the best power bolt-ons for the 1.8L BP engine, including intake, header, exhaust, tuning, and supporting mods, while setting realistic expectations for naturally aspirated gains. Finally, he lays out a practical mod order so NB owners know what to upgrade first, what to skip, and how to build a Miata that feels tighter, faster, and still true to the chassis.
