Welcome to Flyin' Miata!
When I started The Dealer Alternative in New Jersey back in 1983, I never imagined the changes we would go through in 27 years. We
started out in a two bay shop servicing Porsche, Audi and VWs for 13 years. In 1996, we moved to Colorado, worked out of our house,
graduated to 1600 square feet, then 3,000, 6,000 and now a really cool 25,000 square foot facility with lots of room for R&D. It's been an
interesting ride from a small start and we've formed a lot of great relationships along the way with our customers.
We believe Flyin' Miata is the perfect size now, large enough to have the infrastructure and staff to take care of our customers, but small
enough to care about each customer. We look forward to the next twenty five years and hope you join us for the ride!

tHe ower Club
We know that there are a few other components of the car you might like to upgrade at the same time that you fill it up with power. So we
created the Power Club. If you place a single order that totals $5000 or more before shipping, you'll become a member for the next year.
That will get you 5% off anything in our catalog for your car. Salvage parts, labor, Westfield kits and wheels/tires are not included.
tHe Gxecutiwe Club
For our very best friends, we have the Executive Club. Anyone who has spent a total of $25,000 or more with us over the years gets a
permanent 5% discount. Again, salvage parts, labor, Westfield kits and wheels/tires are not included.
And yes, members of the Executive Club have very fast Miatas.

What started in 1998 as a nice little backyard BBQ for a few locals has grown into a four-day event that pulls in people from all over the world.
It's no wonder when you realize what goes on. The FM Summer Camp includes a track day, a driving school, suspension setup classes, ECU
tuning classes, product demos and announcements, scenic drives, a banquet, free goodies, a chance to poke around the FM shop - and
lots and lots of interesting people with interesting cars.
The 2010 event will be held on August 5-8 at our headquarters in Palisade, Colorado. We hope you can join us - it's our way of saying
thanks to our customers and having a little fun at the same time. Log on to flyinmiata.com for a schedule and signup information.

Everybody and their dog has a website. Heck, each one of Keith's cars has its own.
But flyinmiata.com is a bit different.
Naturally, it has the latest information on all of our products including new releases.
Because we have more room on the site, we can sometimes include more
information and pictures than we do in the catalog. We also have customer reviews
of the parts and dyno charts. Of course, there are handy buttons to let you buy
Miata parts in the middle of the night when you're not wearing any pants. That's
what you'd expect out of an online store.
We also a have a Group Buy center that helps us gather people together to take
advantage of bulk discounts on various parts. In February, we helped nearly 500
Miata owners score a killer deal on H4 headlights through this.
Our dyno chart section has dozens of charts comparing different setups, both
normal and unusual. We give a peek into our development process with selected
parts, so you can see how they evolve.
But there's a lot more than that. Every time we build a highly modified Miata, we'll
document it well with dozens or even hundreds of photos. These are often updated
daily, and organized so you can follow a particular car or just catch up with what
has happened recently. These build diaries don't just let you peek over our
shoulders at what's going on, we'll often discuss technically what we're doing and
why. It's educational! That's a good excuse when someone asks you why you've
spent the last 8 hours looking at pictures of Miata parts, by the way.
If we're taking part in a competition such as the Targa Newfoundland or the Open
Track Challenge, you'll get to see the preparation of the car as well as reports
uploaded during the race itself. Whenever possible, we'll also include video. It's like
being there, only without all the hard work and long days.
But wait, there's more! You can take a look under the hood of each of our
development cars, so to speak, and see what parts they're running right now. And
we have a lot of development cars, ranging from a relatively mild 1990 to V8-
powered beasts that push the limits of what a Miata can do. We even invite you into
our home garages so you can get an idea of what other sorts of cars the FM staff
play with. You can learn a bit more about each of the staff as well as find out what
events we'll be attending and who will be there - perfect for stalking. Naturally, we're
also on Facebook so you can be our friend.
So when the catalog is getting a bit dog-eared and grease-stained, log on to
flyinmiata.com and find out what's been going on.
cueton work
While we're happy to support any of our customers who like to install their own
parts (sometimes, we have to support their mechanics!) we know that some Miata
owners want their work done by the best. And those Miatas get sent to FM.
It doesn't matter how big or small the job is. We can quickly upgrade your Miata's
handling with a new set of sway bars, or we can strip it down to a bare chassis and
rebuild it. It's up to you. The work is performed in our 25,000 square foot shop by
experienced mechanics who work on nothing but Miatas. They build every car as if
it was their own, and the end result is show-worthy.
A few notable recent projects include a 1993 owned by a NASA rocket scientist. It
had been in our hangar before, to get a stroker engine and a number of upgrades.
It came back to get a larger turbo, improved suspension, a stronger transmission
and a serious horsepower injection. A 2000 came in for similar treatment, and both
cars left with around 400 hp at the wheels and civilized street manners. Naturally,
both were driven home.
We've built a series of V8 cars recently as well, which begin with us fully stripping
the car down. In a couple of cases, we started with a bone-stock Miata and rebuilt
the entire thing from the ground up.
We've also taken one of our own cars - named Igor - and upgraded it from a
salvage hulk to a nice, attainable "customer car" using standard bolt-on parts
from this catalog. All of these projects are fully documented on flyinmiata.com, of
course, so you can follow along.
We'll build the Miata of your dreams, no matter what those dreams might be.

When we compete, we like to choose races that allow us to push the limits of our
parts. That's why you'll see us in events such as the Targa Newfoundland, the
Redline Time Attack and the Open Track Challenge. More liberal rules allow us to
torture-test new and existing parts. We also support racers in more mainstream
competitions such as National-level autocross and road racing. We take the
feedback from all the racers and use it to make our products even better.
When we race, everybody wins.
For example, our AFCO suspension development was driven by the need to deal
with the week-long Targa Newfoundland. The lessons we learned from that were
passed on to all of our suspension parts.
Matt Andrews won his class in the Redline Time Attack class in both 2008 and
2009. Matt runs some select Flyin' Miata suspension parts as well as one of our Big
Daddy stroker engines, Snow water injection and a Hydra ECU. A number of our
engine internals were modified due to his feedback.
Bill Schenker is a nationally competitive CSP autocrosser who uses our Hydra in his 1999, and we were able to extract even more power
and reliability out of his engine to aid in his podium finish at the 2009 championship. Jeff Diffenderfer also finished on the podium at the
NASA road racing championships with his Mazdaspeed running a Hydra and FM II conversion with our support at the track.
our pHiloeopHy
At FM, we specialize in one thing: Miata performance. We're not a whole lot of help if you're looking for shift knobs, seat covers or the latest
fashion in taillights. But if you want to make your Miata stop, turn and accelerate better, we're here to help. All we work on is Miatas, and
we've been working on them since 1989. This narrow focus means we can concentrate on doing what we do as well as possible without
getting distracted.
Our full-time techs spend a lot of their time testing and developing both new products and old ones. While we do always pay attention to
cost, we prefer to design to a performance level instead of down to a price. After all, we'd rather apologize for a high price than a poor part.
We also try to keep everything in stock as much as possible so we can ship you your parts as soon as we can. The result is that we're not
always the least expensive place for parts, but we think the quality, availability and support make a big difference.
Everyone here is a Miata nut. We race them, we play with them and we spend our time concocting crazy schemes with them. You can see
the results on our website and in our enthusiasm on the phone. Give us a call or send us an email to say hi, and be sure to drop by if you're
anywhere nearby!

You may notice that we have a lot of parts you won't find anywhere else. That's because we don't sell
something unless we've tested it ourselves, and in many cases the only way to get
something that meets our standards is to design it ourselves. It takes a lot of
time, but we feel it's worth it.
Let's look at our pistons, for example. Wiseco makes excellent pistons,
but we don't sell their standard design. Why not?
We specified a different taper on the side of the piston to make sure
the piston sits properly in the bore when hot. This lets us run tighter
clearances with less piston rocking. We upgraded the quality of the
piston rings for a version that lasts longer under normal driving or track
day conditions. We also changed the size of the valve cutouts to give
clearance for oversize valves, even on the VVT engines.
But that wasn't enough. We recently took a close look at our pistons to see
how they could be improved even further. The existing design was pretty good, but we found that by changing the shape of the casting to
a strutted design we could save weight and increase the strength of the piston. In the case of our stroker pistons, we dropped the weight
from 14.7 ounces to 13.7. Remember, every one of those ounces has to accelerate to full speed and come to a stop two times every time
your crankshaft completes a revolution. Less weight here means less stress on your rods, more power to the wheels and a faster engine
response. In fact, that one-ounce reduction means the rod has to support 138 lbs less at the top of the stroke at 8000 rpm.
But that wasn't enough. We already had a low-friction dry lubricant on the outside of the piston. We added a ceramic coating to the top to
protect the piston under extreme conditions, because the temperatures in the combustion chamber are actually above the melting point of
aluminum. Normally the piston is protected by a boundary layer of gases. If you get knock, it's possible for that layer to get blown away and
then the piston melts. The ceramic coating prevents that. It also keeps heat in the combustion chamber and prevents some of the transfer
to the oil. The result? A more durable piston that makes more power.
The result isn't the cheapest piston on the market, but it's the best!

Miatas are fun, lightweight little cars. But
imagine how much more fun they'd be
if they were 1000 lbs lighter! At FM,
we know exactly how much fun that
is. Lots.
A few years back, Keith built a
lightweight Lotus Seven-style
car using Miata drivetrain
parts. It set some lap records
at our Open House and was a
huge amount of fun. When the
British sports car maker Westfield
announced they were coming out with a
similar kit, we contacted them right away and
arranged to be the North American dealer for the
car.
A Westfield begins as a large crate filled with a frame, body,
interior, control arms and several boxes of nuts and bolts. A
hurt Miata provides the remaining pieces, such as the engine,
transmission, engine management, suspension uprights,
halfshafts, differential, brakes, wiring harness and instruments.
The body panels are finished with a colored gelcoat, giving a
shiny scratch-resistant finish and avoiding the need for paint.
There's a wide range of options available, from leather interiors
and classic clamshell front fenders to track-bred upgrades such
as high-end shocks, race seats and a full roll cage. Full weather
protection is available or the windshield can be deleted for an
aeroscreen. Basically, you can build the exact car you dream of.
And naturally, FM has a number of options from big brakes to forced
induction that will bolt on to the proven Miata mechanicals. Prices
for the kit start at $13,990 plus shipping from the factory in England.
At fmwestfield.com, you can play with all of the various options
to find out just what your own custom spec would cost.
The cars are fully street-legal in the US, and we've worked with
Transport Canada to make them legal for import there as well. Yes,
you read that correctly - you can legally import one in to Canada,
build it and register it!
Go, wHt re tHey like to
driwe?
Pure. The suspension is surprisingly supple, but every
command is instantly carried out. The front wheels
dance around, transmitting every bit of information
about the surface underneath and allowing you
to place them perfectly on
apexes. Because you sit
fairly close to the rear axle,
it tells you exactly what is
about to happen and you
can steer the car from the
back end easily.
Even a stock 1.6 feels much
more powerful with only
1300 lbs to move. The car
disappears around you, leaving
just you and the road (or track). After
driving a Westfield, you'll get out with your nerve
endings tingling, your grin muscles tired and every
other car will feel fat and heavy.
Performance is, as they say, spirited. Automobile tested our 1.8 car
and hit 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. Stopping from 70 mph took only
156 feet, and it circled the skidpad at 1.15 g. Then we added a
turbo...

When a Miata gets hurt too badly to be repaired, FM Salvage steps in so the vital
organs can help out other Miatas. But we're not your ordinary junkyard. We do
salvage the Flyin' Miata way.
When a car arrives, it's brought into our shop, evaluated, stripped and catalogued.
Everything is removed by a trained mechanic, not a high school kid with a pair of
vice grips and a rock. Once they're off, all parts are tagged and stored inside, out
of the weather.
This gives us a good supply of quality used parts for our own builds, of course. But
you benefit as well. You can search through our database at
flyinmiata.com/salvage to see if there is anything that fits your own needs.
The only limitation is that we don't ship painted body parts because the shipping
companies take real glee in destroying them. Sorry.
For Westfield and Locost builders, we offer donor pallets. We'll work with you on the
exact specification you need for your little toy and ship you all the parts. If you need
a combination that never existed in nature, such as a 1.6 with a 6-speed and the
rear end from a Mazdaspeed, we can do that. We'll even refresh all the parts with
new belts and seals on the engine, new brake pads and the like.
Naturally, since you'll get a Miata expert on the phone when you call, we can probably help with your weird interchange question. No matter
how weird it is, we've probably heard it before - and done the research to find out if it's possible or not. Someone called us about fitting an
automatic 1.6 drivetrain in a Nash Metropolitan. Can you top that?

There have been V8 Miatas for almost as long as there have been Miatas. After all, the idea of stuffing a big happy V8 into a poor little
sports car is a classic one, and it gave the world the likes of the AC Cobra and the Sunbeam Tiger. With the introductions of FM's
conversions and engineering by V8 Roadsters, these US/Japanese hybrids have taken a huge step forward.
We use the amazing Gen III/Gen IV - or "LS" - family of engines from General Motors that were first introduced in 1997. They're the latest
evolution of the famous small-block Chevy - but don't think they're low-tech. This is the same engine found in the latest Corvettes and
Camaros. They use coil-on-plug ignition, all-aluminum construction and some very high quality engine management. The engines range in
size from 5.3 to 7.0 liters and make between 300-500 hp in stock form. Naturally, there are an enormous range of upgrades available.
We mate it to a strong T56 6-speed transmission that offers a nice tight gate and an extremely relaxed cruising gear - at 80 mph, the engine
is usually spinning at only 2000 rpm or so. For the rear end, we have the choice of a lightweight Getrag or an indestructible Ford 8.8 with a
range of axle options.
To mount the engine, we have a fabricated tubular subframe that is 10 lbs lighter than stock. The transmission is supported by a brace
that also reinforces the frame rails for extra rigidity. The engine is set back as far as possible to optimize the weight distribution, and some
modifications are required to the engine bay and transmission tunnel. Power steering and air conditioning are retained and you can use the
front sway bar - unlike some other kits.
The suspension geometry is not affected at all. The steering rack isn't moved, so Mazda's carefully-honed steering and handling are
retained. All of our suspension and braking upgrades will still bolt on. Overall, the car gains around 200 lbs with 1/3 of that on the rear
wheels. Any Miata from 1990-05 can be converted, although we find the 1999-05 cars work best due to packaging, wiring and chassis
stiffness. We are working on the 2006-10 cars.
From the outside, the car looks completely stock. The ground clearance is unchanged and nothing needs to be altered on the visible body.
As long as the engine is off, it's a great sleeper. But once you fire it up, there's no mistaking what's underhood.
tHe driwirg experierce
The usual complaint from someone who's never driven one of these cars is that the handling and the spirit of the car is spoiled. In other
words, they expect the car is a nose-heavy beast that only works in a straight line. As you can imagine, a car that's 600 lbs lighter than a
Corvette with the same engine is pretty quick. But it's not all about straight line speed. It's still a Miata, and it still handles like one.
To put things in perspective, one of our SuperFour Challenge turbo Miatas came in at almost exactly the same weight and distribution, and
Car and Driver loved the handling of that car. We took our own V8 Miata, running a stock engine from a 2002 Trans Am, to a local autocross
run by the Corvette club - and set the fastest time of the day by a margin of nearly four seconds.
We also took our car to our local track. It's a tight one that rewards handling over horspower. In full-on street trim, it went nearly 2 seconds a
lap faster in its first session than our previously fastest Miata, the race-prepped Targa Miata. All of the eager turn-in and friendly handling is
still there. It's just that the accelerator simply works far, far better. Power oversteer is always an option, but the car hooks up very well out of
corners thanks to the good clutch-pack differential. You can dance in the corners or sign your name in molten rubber - your choice.
We're going to get in trouble with the EPA for causing excessive tire smoke. But it's worth it.

There are two ways to get yourself into a V8 Miata: build it yourself or have someone build it for you.
turrkey cre
If you'd like your car professionally built, Flyin' Miata would be happy to put together your custom car for you. Our team of mechanics
will strip your Miata down almost completely, removing everything from the front end and the complete interior. The entire drivetrain and
suspension is dropped from the car as well. This bare shell is modified to fit the larger engine and transmission before the seams are
sealed and the engine bay is repainted. We will then install the engine and make all the necessary supporting modifications to make it run.
When you come to pick it up, you'll be blown away by not only the performance change, but also the quality of the workmanship. It's not
unusual for our work to go directly to car shows. Check out flyinmiata.com to watch over our shoulder as we work on these beasts.
We only use new parts when building a V8 car. When we're done, the entire drivetrain is factory fresh. There's even a two-year warranty on
the engine! And that engine is a brand new 6.3 l LS3 rated at 436 hp by General Motors. It's the same engine found in the 2010 Camaro
and Corvette. Of course, we usually use a variation of that engine with a hotter camshaft, rated at 480 hp with the same warranty.
Naturally, we'll install whatever other modifications you'd like. We can stiffen the chassis (Frog Arms are a good addition), add rollover
protection, improve the brakes and upgrade the suspension. It's your custom car, so what we do is what you request.
The cost for an FM V8 conversion starts at around $34,000. It's not cheap. But if you compare the price to a new Corvette convertible, you'll
realize that it's a bargain. Especially when you remember the Miata weighs 600 lbs less and has an extra 50 horsepower.
build it youreelI
Most of our customers choose to build their own V8 Miatas. Naturally, they get our full support in the process. If you build your own, you will
need a certain skill set or you'll have to make friends who do. Wiring and welding is involved. We do have a version of our subframe that
places the engine about 2" further forward and negates the need for transmission tunnel modifications, but it has an adverse affect on the
weight distribution of the car so we recommend making the extra effort for the rear engine location.
When you build your own, you have a huge range of options for engines. A number of GM trucks used an iron-block 5.3l variant of the
family that is often quite affordable, although the oil pan and intake manifold will have to be changed. A 1998-02 Firebird or Camaro can
provide a transmission that is ready to bolt in. The Cadillac CTS-V is a good single-car donor if you're willing to change the tailshaft of the
transmission, but they tend to be a bit expensive for parts. Obviously, your engine selection and choice of new vs used parts is going to
have a significant impact on the cost to complete the conversion, but it's probably best to budget between $10,000-$15,000 for the job
unless you're a real junkyard genius.
Regardless of what engine you choose, we can provide the parts you need to make it work. We have complete accessory drive kits that
will convert your engine to the best setup to fit in the Miata, with or without AC. Our fuel kit will give you everything required to increase your
fuel lines from 5/16" to 3/8" and bump up the fuel pump capacity to feed the high horsepower engine. We can even supply the engine,
transmission and differential. The price and content of our V8 component packages is always changing as we develop new solutions.
Please contact us for up-to-date information. There's also a configuration tool at flyinmiata.com/V8 that will guide you through all the
options.
MO corwereior kit
This is everything you need to mount the engine and transmission in the car - the new tubular subframe, frame rail reinforcements,
engine mounts, transmission mount and associated hardware. Available in forward or rearward engine mounting location. The 1999-05
suspension geometry is used but either 1990-97 or 1999-05 steering racks can be used.
1990-05 (26-04010) $1950.00
MO driwelire kit
Due to the wide range of engine outputs, we have a selection of driveline options. The basic choice is between the Getrag differential found
in the Cadillac CTS-V or a Ford 8.8. The Getrag is smaller and lighter and works very well for street, road race or autocross applications.
Drag racers and those who dream of twin turbos should go for the Ford.
The kit includes the appropriate mounts for the differential, a driveshaft and adapters, new custom half shafts and new high-strength wheel
bearings and hubs with extended studs. The lowest-torque Getrag kit uses stock Miata hubs and bearings.
Getrag 1990-05 (26-04010) from $1650.00
Ford 1990-05 (26-04010) from $2250.00
MO bIIled oil pr
We have a number of upgrades and components available to make your V8
conversion easier - please see our website or contact us for details of the full list.
Here's an example of one.
The kit is designed to use a modified oil pan from a 1998-02 Camaro or Trans
Am. However, these pans don't have enough oil control for track use. To avoid this,
and to avoid the need to modify the GM pan, we have a bolt-on all-aluminum pan
with a heavily baffled oil pickup. Flapper doors - shown here - actually trap the oil
around the pickup, ensuring it'll never go dry. Includes a pickup tube. Fits all LS
engines.

Flyin' Miata Rototest dyno testing
Plyir' Nit eupercHrger eyetene
The 2006-10 MX-5 - known as the NC - is a completely different car than the earlier models. Not just in terms of
suspension and body styling, but mechanically and electronically. The 2.0 MZR engine, also known as a
Duratec when installed in Fords, is a more modern unit than the old B6/BP powerplant used in
the earlier cars. Not only are there a different set of packaging constraints - the location of
catalytic converters and brake lines makes life exciting - but the engine has different
characteristics. So we've decided to go with supercharging for this car.
Cosworth has been a well-known name in performance circles for decades, and has
done a fantastic job of packaging the classic MP62 blower. The blower is integrated right
into the intake manifold with a water/air intercooler. This keeps the throttled volume at a
minimum, making throttle response very sharp and the whole install compact.
All of the new parts are either molded plastic or cast aluminum, giving a factory
appearance. In fact, if you sanded the "COSWORTH" logo off the blower, nobody
would ever notice the car was modified.
They would notice if they drove it, though. The power is dramatically increased right across the rev
range, from a stock level of around 140 hp at the wheels to 240 thanks to 8 psi of boost. Torque
jumps up across the range as well. The dyno chart shows the same car, before and after.
Of course, actually building the hardware is the easy part. The hard part is working out good engine
management, and we've been experimenting with one thing after another since the new car first appeared. The first Cosworth kits used a
reprogrammed stock ECU to deal with fuel management. It's a good idea, but unfortuantely that implementation didn't work out.
We have found another company that has done an excellent job of reprogramming the stock ECU - it transformed our own supercharged
2006 and got rid of the odd timing and fuel enrichment glitches that characterized the earlier efforts. Because the immobilizer built into the
computer is mated to the car, you will have to send your ECU in to us for programming. There's no tuning or setup on your end - simply
install the reprogrammed computer and go enjoy a very rapid car. We are hoping to offer a customer-tunable version later on for those who
want the most control possible.
The level of finish of this system and driveability of the final result needs to be experienced to be believed. It really looks like a factory
job. If you install our Stage 2 suspension kit, the power level is so well matched to the chassis that it's possible to think of the car of the
Mazdaspeed that never was.

High performance doesn't mean low reliability, though. All of
our systems are designed for years of trouble-free operation. A
customer of ours has been running an FM turbo since 1991. His
car passed 300,000 miles a few years ago. His clutch pedal has
broken in half, but his turbo system is doing just fine.
One reason for this longevity is the quality of the parts we use.
For example, our downpipes are formed using
a CNC mandrel bender out of stainless steel
for a perfect fit and
smooth flow. They
even carry a lifetime
warranty. Our formed
Nomex/silicone
intercooler pipes are light and offer
optimal airflow, as well as removing most of the
potential failure points in the system.
But it's not just the big parts like manifolds
and turbochargers. All our hose clamps
and silicone hoses are selected to do
their job as well as possible. Our
optional stainless steel hard lines
mean your oil and water lines
will outlast the car. And we
include everything you need,
right down to heat shielding,
zipties and wires.
So what else do you need? Well,
we do recommend a good exhaust
system to let you extract full power from your
forced induction, especially on turbo cars. Almost all of our
systems will require a new clutch due to the increased engine
output - which is the whole point, really! Also, since producing
power generates heat, cooling system upgrades are usually
needed, especially on track-driven cars.

Flyin' Miata is best known for forced induction. We'd like to think there's
a good reason for that. Ever since we turbocharged our own Miata in
1990 (with 1800 miles on the odometer!), we've been obsessed with
putting Miatas under pressure.
Lucky for us, we have a good base to start
from. The 1990-05 Miata engine is almost
factory-built to handle boost. In fact,
it was shipped from the factory with
a turbo in both 1.6 and 1.8 forms. It
has oil squirters under the pistons to
keep them cool. The cams are well
suited to forced induction. 1990-
95 engines even have a handy oil
feed right beside the dipstick for turbo
installation. When Mazda came out with
the 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5 turbo model
(15 years after we started), the engine was
fundamentally unchanged.
Our turbo systems are just that - systems.
It's not that difficult to bolt a compressor on
the side of an engine, but it's more difficult
to make it reliable and transparent in
operation. One of the secrets to the
power and safety of our systems is
our engine management. It's fair
to say that nobody else has the
depth of experience that we
do with the Miata's electronics.
We've worked with ECU
designers and manufacturers
for years to adapt their products.
Our Hydra is used on some of the highest-horsepower Miatas in
existence, while other Miata owners appreciate the OBD-II compliance
and ease of use of our Voodoo Box.

Ceramic coating - Increased spoolup speed and keeps heat down underhood. Turbine housing $125
Turbine outlet $100
Turbo manifold $175
GT2554R turbo - This turbo is a no-cost option on all kits. It's smaller than the standard GT2560R. This means that it spools up faster
and will be more responsive, but at the cost of ultimate power. Well-matched to the Voodoo and Voodoo II turbos, it's the choice for people
who don't plan to go for a different ECU.
GT3071R turbo - This turbo is much larger than the standard GT2560R. It also has much higher power capabilities. However, the larger
size makes it slower to spool. Recommended for cars with built engines or with very high power goals. Definitely not recommended for 1.6
motors. $200.
hard oil return and water lines - We use high quality rubber and silicone lines to ensure long life, but they will need occasional
replacement. This option replaces the flexible lines with bent stainless steel to avoid this hassle. $160.
Stage 8 hardware - For track cars especially. We use locking hardware on the turbo and downpipe, but these add an extra layer of
security. $26.95
exhaust bracket - as seen on page 11. $24.95 to $31.95, depending on application.
3" downpipe - To match the 3" exhaust systems on page 22. More power and faster response. $80.
1.8 hybrid downpipe - Allows you to use a 1994-97 cat with a 1990-93 turbo kit for lower restriction. No charge.
plug-in injectors - Our normal FM II comes with splice-in connectors. These will let you simply pop the new parts in. $40.
750cc injectors - The 550cc injectors that come with the FM II are fine for the standard turbo. If you're going for the GT3071R, we
recommend this free upgrade.
big intercooler - If you're running the big turbo, you might need more intercooler capacity. This unit is 4" wider than our standard part. It
also interferes with A/C on 1990-00 models. $100.
dual gauge pod - All kits include a single gauge pod for the A-pillar. Add a second gauge mounting spot for $10.

Our Voodoo kits are designed to be easy to install and set up. While they offer an
affordable price, they use the same high-end hardware found in the FM II. The
manifold, downpipe, intercooler piping, turbo, intercooler, bypass valve, clamps,
hoses - all identical. This makes future upgrades simple. And while it might not be
an expensive kit, nobody's going to accuse us of making it cheap.
Fuel control is handled by our exclusive Voodoo box. This allows us to support
boost without the complexity of a programmable ECU and while retaining OBD-II
compliance.
The non-intercooled Voodoo Turbo runs about 6 psi of boost, and will produce
from 150-170 hp depending on the year of the car and the quality of fuel available.
The Voodoo II adds an intercooler and can run 8 psi, producing from 160 to 200
hp. Naturally, it's easy to upgrade.
The best thing is, when you're not in boost, the car behaves like stock. No idle
droop or high idle problems as found on many superchargers, along with a
smooth transition into boost and good power levels. We tested one of our cars with
a "big boost" M45 supercharger, then replaced it with a Voodoo II. Not only did the
car drive better, it gained 15 hp at the wheels along with a lot of torque - and the turbo system was less expensive and got better mileage.
The 2554 turbo is a good match to this kit, especially on the 1.6 cars. 1.6 cars also have the option of our hybrid downpipe, allowing the
use of a 1.8 cat with the larger inlet flange at no extra cost. This allows them to use our 3" exhaust system.

The FM II is our flagship turbo system. It has become the standard of comparison for
every forced induction kit on the market. And it's still the best out there.
We've already talked about the hardware. CAD-designed and CNC-machined
manifold, lifetime warranty on the downpipe for the original buyer, silicone/
Nomex intercooler pipes, all that good stuff. What makes the FM II is the engine
management. We use the Hydra Nemesis for full control over...well, everything. This
level of control means that when tuned properly, the car has the perfect fuel mixture
and timing throughout the rev range, while retaining a number of safety features
to ensure your engine lives a long and happy life. All Hydras ship with a well-
developed base map. The integrated wideband makes fine-tuning a snap. We'll
even help you tune the car remotely. The responsive turbo delivers boost sooner
than you would think possible, and the power just keeps building.
The result? Smooth, effortless power. How much power? Expect 230 hp at the
wheels on a 1.6 and 250 on a 1.8, all on a stock engine and running normal pump gas. If you install stronger engine internals, you can get
even more. With the optional GT3071R and a stroker engine, over 400 rwhp on pump gas is easily possible with the sort of reliability you
need for a daily driver. We know, we've done it. And more.
There is a reason it's the standard. If you're serious about Miata performance, you need an FM II.

One of the problems facing turbocharged Miatas on track is loosening and breaking turbo nuts
and studs. Naturally, the first thing many people think of is changing the hardware. But the
hardware we use isn't much different than factory turbo systems. So we took a step back
and examined the cause.
The turbo has to support the entire exhaust system, and under hard use puts huge
stresses on the studs. So our solution was to support the exhaust separately, taking
the load off the turbo. We accomplished this with a simple bracket that can be
retrofitted to any of our current turbo systems. It may or may not fit other applications.

Plyir' Nit NGN dowrpipe
Considered a must-have by MSM enthusiasts, this downpipe replaces the restrictive stock
unit and makes a big difference to spoolup, power and smoothness. It includes a free-flow
three-way cat for high performance and clean emissions. Honestly, if Mazda had put this part on the car from the
factory there would be far less demand for MSM performance parts. We have to warn you, though - the bolts at the top
of the downpipe are a real pain to remove. You're going to call Mazda some names when you install this. But it's worth it.

As with our other exhausts, this is stainless steel from end to end. It gives a mute MSM a deep voice thats not too
loud and doesn't buzz or rasp. The adjustable tip ensures a perfect fit. The design looks a little unusual, but its
both more powerful and easier to build than a traditional setup. The muffler is built specifically for this application.
Adding the exhaust to an otherwise stock car gave us peak power 300 rpm sooner. When combined with
the downpipe and intercooler, we saw a 23 hp increase. On top of all this, it weighs 6.5 lbs less than
stock! Lifetime warrantee for the original owner.

A stock ECU can pull up to 25% of its fuel if it thinks the engine is running rich. That's
good for mileage and emissions - unless you're running forced induction!
At best, this means poor driveability until the computer goes into open loop
mode. At worst, it can have catastrophic and expensive results.
The signal modifier prevents the ECU from seeing a rich condition under boost. There
is no effect when the car is not generating boost and no Check Engine Light. It's a
popular addition to cars equipped with Powercard fuel management or auxiliary
fuel pressure regulators because this solves a characteristic lean mixture at part
throttle. Surprisingly, due to a quirk in the programming of the 2004-05 Mazdaspeed
MX-5 turbo, even a stock MSM will benefit significantly. Included with our complete
Mazdaspeed intake kit.
Intended for use only with stock ECU. Not needed for cars with full replacement ECUs,
such as the Hydra, or with cars equipped with our Voodoo Box.

Ndepeed N-H upgrdee
The Mazdaspeed MX-5 turbo - often known as an MSM - has a nice chassis, a
great interior and a bit of a disappointing powerplant. But we can fix that little
problem. Whether you want to liberate just a few or a whole herd of horses, FM has
the only complete line of upgrade parts on the market.
A stock MSM will make about 150 hp at the wheels and will lose power as the
intercooler heat-soaks. So, what is the best way to get the most out of an MSM?
Here is our recommended upgrade path for horsepower. Since the MSM is much
the same as other Miatas otherwise, all of our suspension, brake, engine internal
and other upgrades will fit.
1. Intake. Our complete intake kit addresses a lot of problems and will give you a good boost in power for a low price. The included O2
signal modifier gets rid of a hesitation as you get into boost that is present even on stock MSMs.
2. Downpipe. It's probably the most popular upgrade for MSMs and for good reason. It will smooth out the boost rise and make the car
more driveable under all conditions. Why wasn't it number one? Well, it was a close call. It's more difficult to install than the intake, so it's
number two on the list.
3. Exhaust. Get rid of the last restriction in the system for more power and a nice purr from the tailpipe. By this point, you're up to 200 hp
at the wheels for short periods, until the intercooler gets hot.
4. Intercooler. It's not going to necessarily make any more power, but it will prevent your car from getting slower as it heats up. Even
stock Mazdaspeeds suffer from heat soak and the higher power from other upgrades only makes this worse.
We think an MSM with these four steps is such a good car, we packaged them all together as our Little Enchilada. Every MSM deserves
this much. The stock injectors are at their limit, so now it gets a little more expensive. Luckily, you can keep the stock clutch.
5. Hydra Nemesis. Not a cheap upgrade, but one that makes a big difference to the driveability of the car. You won't believe how many
little bumps and odd behaviours exist in the stock ECU programming until you feel the smoothness of one with a Hydra. Spoolup will
improve as the Hydra will run more timing in the lower ranges. But to make any more power, you need...
5a. 550 cc injectors. With great power comes the need for great amounts of fuel. These will solve that problem. Due to the accurate
fuel delivery of the Hydra, you'll probably even see better fuel economy when you're not at full throttle. Not compatible with a stock ECU.
There. That's the "Big Enchilada" package. It's good for 230 at the wheels with smooth power and good low-end torque.
6. FM II turbo conversion. It's a big step, but this opens up the power potential even further, into the 250+ hp range.

Keep your MSM cool under pressure! We've found that the cute little stock
intercooler will easily get overwhelmed under sustained boost and can't
dump the heat as fast as it's being generated. This intercooler is the most
efficient one weve ever sold and solves that problem handily. In fact, we
liked it so much we made it standard on our new FM II turbosystems. It
also gives the MSM some visual aggression. Grrr!

Yes, the MSM came from the factory with a turbocharger. But we can install a better one! The IHI turbo selected by Mazda doesn't respond
as quickly as you might expect, but it's too small to make really big power. That is a bad combination. We've also seen a few failures of the
stock turbo. Luckily, all the R&D we've done on turbos for other Miatas can help the MSM.
Our FM II conversion kit uses our CAD designed manifold and turbine outlet, any of the three Garrett turbos available for the FM II, the FM
II intake, our silicone compressor outlet hose and a special downpipe that mates up to the MSM exhaust. You'll use the same intercooler,
engine management and injectors that you already had on the car. Intended for cars with aftermarket engine management, such as the
Hydra, although it will run on a stock ECU. If you have a Big Enchilada, you will end up replacing the intake and downpipe, but the rest will
be reused.
We also have a version that includes everything you need with intercooler, piping, ECU, and injectors. This will leave you with a complete
turbo kit to sell if you want to recoup some of the cost. This works out best for cars without prior modifications.

The Little Enchilada brings out the MSM that should have existed on the showroom floor. It includes our complete intake kit, intercooler,
downpipe and exhaust. This raises horsepower from 150 hp at the wheels to right around 200 hp and drives more smoothly with quicker
turbo response than the stock car. It gives your MSM the ability to take full advantage of the stock ECU and saves you $250 over the
individual prices. It's possibly the best bang for the buck available in this catalog.
If you want to go further, you're looking for the Big Enchilada. The hardware is the same as the Little Enchilada, but we add a Hydra
Nemesis and 550cc injectors. This allows you to raise the engine redline, run more boost and take full advantage of the stock turbo. Due
to the fact that you can adjust the timing curves, you'll find that you'll get significantly more torque in the midrange. It's a $494 savings
over the individual prices.Not only do get you get some tasty savings, you'll also get a really nice car in the bargain. A Big Enchilada

A very popular upgrade thanks to its effectiveness and easy installation. All of the problematic components underhood are replaced to
allow your MSM to breathe easier and make more power with an earlier onset of boost. All parts are available separately if you'd like,
although they're designed to work as a complete system. Stainless steel parts are all polished, while the silicone couplers are our special
high-grip blend to grip the pipes strongly.
The stock intake piping is extremely restrictive on the Mazdaspeed. Big 2.5" piping makes it easier for the hungry turbo to suck in fresh air.
The turbo outlet pipe is also replaced and a manual boost controller allows you to dial in more boost. Available for either stock ECUs or
cars with computers that do not require the stock MAF.
The stock throttle body inlet will actually inflate like a balloon under boost and is prone to blowing off, so we created a stainless steel
replacement. We also install our all-metal bypass valve to replace the leaky stock unit.
The complete intake also includes our O2 signal modifier - see the previous page.

While many people obsess over engine hardware, it's the electronics that really make the difference on a successful
modified car. Nobody has more experience than Flyin' Miata when it comes to Miata engine management, and
the Hydra Nemesis is our flagship standalone Engine Control Unit (ECU). Its what we use in our high-end
turbocharger systems and it's found in some of the most successful racing Miatas in the world.
Its a very versatile unit with a number of user-programmable inputs and outputs based on both
2D and 3D maps. Launch control is built in, as is the capability for staged injectors and anti-lag.
Individual cylinder fuel and timing trim is available. If it detects too much knock, it will automatically go
into a limp-home mode to prevent engine damage. The Nemesis is one of the few ECUs that is capable
of controlling the 1999-05 alternators and Variable Valve Timing (VVT).
Installation is a simple plug-in. The Hydra uses the stock sensors or it can be configured to use specialized
sensors from other cars. It does include a new intake air temperature sensor (depending on application) as
well as an integrated wideband oxygen sensor and a knock sensor. Electronic
boost control is available with a boost control solenoid. Datalogs can be analyzed
with Hydras own software.
Naturally, every Hydra comes with FM's full support. It's hard to overstate how
valuable this is. You can send us datalogs and let us tune your car remotely,
something almost nobody else can, or will do. We have years of experience and
training with all sorts of engine management. You'll also find the Hydra can auto-
tune the fuel maps very effectively. In fact, we're seeing amazing fuel economy
numbers on Hydra-equipped cars as well as big power.
Before the Nemesis is shipped, we'll load it with a default map designed for your
car. Your car will start up and drive well from the first turn of the key without any
concern for the engine.
Flyin Miata is the exclusive distributor for the Miata version of the Hydra Nemesis.
Please note that the Hydra, like all other aftermarket ECUs, will not return OBD-II
codes.

This Flyin Miata exclusive is a handy little item. It extends the injector pulse
width (the amount of time the injectors stay open) under boost to deliver
more fuel. No fuel pumps, pressure regulators or injector changes are
necessary. Things dont get much easier than that. That's why it's part of our
Voodoo turbo systems.
Its limited by the size of the stock injectors, but the 1999-05 cars have lots
of unused capacity. The 1990-97 cars cant handle quite as much boost, but
theres still enough room to run 6-8 psi or so depending on the system. It's
designed to be easily adjustable so you can get the perfect fuel curve for
your setup. It also incorporates one of our O2 signal modifiers to prevent the
stock ECU from pulling fuel when youre making boost at partial throttle. This is safer for your engine and provides a smoother drive. There
is no effect on OBD-II emissions controls. It's not magic - it's Voodoo.

All Miatas come from the factory with an ECU, of course. The version used in the 2006-
10 models can be reprogrammed or "reflashed", allowing you to take
advantage of the sophisticated and powerful computer already in
the car. There are a number of companies that claim to be able to
reflash the stock unit, but very few of them have actually figured out
the complex factory program.
You'll have to send your ECU in to us, and we'll return it with a new
program that's suited to your needs. Only the programming that
needs to be changed is changed, so car will start, idle and cruise exactly
the way Mazda intended.
Unlike the Hydra, a reflashed factory ECU cannot currently be programmed by you.
This product is still in final development and testing, but we plan to have them available shortly. Please check flyinmiata.com or call us

The Miata engine is a strong little unit from the factory. Its not the highest performance engine in stock
form, but it takes extremely well to boost. Of course, anything can be improved. At Flyin Miata, weve
been working for years to make it stronger, faster, lighter - the bionic Miata engine!
So what to do? There are two basic categories to improving an engine. Strength and power.
Strength is easy. Take the weak parts and replace them with upgraded ones. Our rods and pistons are
not only lighter than stock parts, theyre also stronger. If youre planning on running forced induction,
lower compression pistons will allow you to safely run more boost. For a naturally aspirated car, high
compression will make more horsepower.
Ah, more power. Think of your engine as a big air pump. The easier you can move air in and out, the
more power you will make. This is where items such as our intakes, exhausts and headers come in. But
you can make a difference inside the engine as well. Larger valves will increase flow in and out of the
cylinders. Stiffer valve springs will let you spin the engine faster and still keep your valves under control.
Cam gears allow you to fine-tune the powerband to your needs. And some careful attention to the shape
of the head itself can make a big difference.
Flyin Miata is happy to help provide the parts you need to make a Miata engine stronger and more
powerful. Well help advise you of the best way to attain your goals. Or, for the ultimate solution, we can
build an engine for you. Weve put together engines for everyone from podium finishers at the Solo II Nationals to monstrous turbo cars that
face up to the best tuners around. Using the experience gained from years of dyno testing, racing, flowbench testing and street driving, we
can put together a motor that will do just what you want. Our services include headwork, cleaning, balancing, machining and assembly.
Whether youre looking for a competitive showroom stock engine, basic headwork, a strong street shortblock or a full-blown stroker
monster motor, we can give you the power and reliability you need. Flyin' Miata engines have won everything from the Redline Time Attack
series to class wins in the Targa Newfoundland. If you need a particular specification that's not listed below, simply give us a call.
When we're done, we always put a plate on the engine with the name of the engine builder and the name of the customer on it, so every
time you pop your hood everyone knows what sets your Miata apart.

These pistons are Flyin' Miata's exclusive design, recently reworked! See page 4 for details. Forged
for high strength, they're perfect for extreme use such as high boost. They're manufactured from
extruded enhanced high-silicone 2618 alloy with additional copper, nickel and magnesium for low
thermal expansion and maximum wear resistance. They're heat-treated several times. Then they're
coated with a phosphate dry lubricant for minimum friction, given a ceramic coating on the top
surface to protect the piston in case of detonation and cut for oversize valve clearance. You can
even use oversize valves on the VVT engines, something you can't do with most others. Includes
premium rings and CrMo wristpins.
While forged pistons are a bit noisier when cold due to greater clearances, we've designed them to
minimize this as much as possible. Sold in sets of four. High-compression version shown.

Plyir' Nit etroker kit
For the Miata that has (almost) everything, we have the Stroker.
Theres no replacement for displacement. A bigger engine makes more torque,
more power and can spool up a turbo faster. We started by cutting apart a stock
block to find out just how much capacity we could fit inside without altering the
block. The crank isn't a welded stock unit, but is made from a 350 lb billet of steel.
Moly coated exotic pistons and custom, longer rods allowed us to keep the same
rod ratio as a stock 1.8 so the car still loves to rev. A 1.5mm overbore was chosen
because it leaves enough strength for turbo use and also allows use of the stock
head gasket, while the stroke was bumped by 4mm. The end result? 1996cc of
displacement that feels even bigger.
Fits 1.8 blocks only. As tested on our competition cars, this is part of the recipe
for the ultimate Miata motor. And we mean that - the quickest Miata in the world
uses one. We ran one in the brutal Targa Newfoundland. Matt Andrews
dominated the Redline Time Attack series with one.
Includes new A beam Carrillo rods and 9:1 pistons. 11:1 high
compression pistons with a 2mm overbore are also available.

Good rods are important. Carrillo is world renowned for their super high quality connecting rods and are
the first choice of racers everywhere. If youre planning on running extended high rpm or are aiming
for over 250 hp, you would be well advised to invest in a set of these or risk having a see-through
Miata engine. Sold in sets of four.
M ben rode
At 440g, theyre almost 100g less than stock, but extremely strong. Almost too beautiful to put
inside a motor! 20% stronger than the A beam and found inside the most extreme Miata engines in
existence. We don't know what their limits are, but they've seen over 800 hp without problems.

Guper A ben rode
Despite being lighter (421g) and less expensive than the H beam design, these rods are made with the same attention to detail. An
excellent choice for almost every Miata engine, even our high-horsepower strokers. The design has recently been tweaked to make it even
stronger. Unless you're really going nuts, this is the rod to use.

More flow equals more power! Thats why our stainless valves are already back-cut and undercut for improved flow. The black
nitride coating makes them harder for high durability and lower friction to reduce valvetrain losses. 1.8 valves are made with
slightly longer stems so they can be ground down for precise installation without the need for expensive shims on
solid lifters. The valves are 1mm larger in diameter for increased flow.
Oversize intake valves are not recommended for the VVT engines used on 2001-05 Miatas. Price
is for an individual valve, there are 8 intake and 8 exhaust valves in a Miata engine.
1990-05 (please call) $22.95
wlwe eprirg kit
At 7000 rpm, your valves open and close every 17 milliseconds. Too stiff a spring means extra
drag which costs power. Too soft a spring means the valve starts to float and never closes all the
way.
Carefully specified for the Miata, these springs are part of the ideal Miata head and are included
with every engine we build. The titanium retainers light weight means theres less reciprocating
mass, which lets the valves respond more quickly and reduces stress on the valvetrain. The
well-matched spring rate means your valves are better controlled at high engine speed, but
without the drag and extra stress of a too-stiff spring. In turbo cars, the exhaust valves will seat
better even under high backpressure. As an added bonus, they also allow for greater lift (12mm /
0.472") if youre running different cams. They are designed to allow engine speeds of up to 9000
rpm before valve float.
Aluminum spring seat, chrome silicon steel spring and titanium retainer. Sold in sets of 16 for a
complete head. Requires the use of valve keepers from a 1999-05 engine (not included, although
a 1999-05 engine already has a full set that can be reused).

ATl Guper Onper
Every time one of your cylinders fires, it transfers a bunch of energy into your crankshaft.
That's the whole point, really. But these power pulses are all at different places and can
set up vibrations in the crank. That's why every Miata is fitted with a harmonic damper,
to keep these vibrations from destroying your oil pump. And it's why billet "underdrive
pulleys" that replace the factory crank pulley are a terrible idea.
As you increase the power of an engine, those power pulses get stronger. The stock
damper can't always keep up. The result is cracked gears on oil pumps and damaged
bearings on 300+ hp Miatas. ATI is well known in the drag racing world for their effective
dampers, and we worked with them to develop one for the Miata.
This unit replaces the stock damper with what is essentially two in one, and includes
stock-size accessory drive pulleys. The result is not only a safer engine, but one that runs
more smoothly all the time thanks to the improved vibration absorption. Bill says that it makes
internal combustion feel electric! We've found that we can easily run more ignition advance and
thus make surprising power increases as well. This is why we include the ATI Super Damper in all
of our engine rebuild packages. Only Flyin' Miata sells the damper with the required belt guide.
An optional supercharger drive pulley is also available. Long-nose 1.6 cars can use the pulley if the alternator and water pump pulley are
changed. 1991-95 (04-95570) $599.00

We looked at other fuel rails and figured we could do better. Our billet fuel rail offers a feed from
each end to promote better distribution between cylinders and offer higher flow overall. This
prevents one cylinder (usually number 4) from running lean and melting the piston. AN fittings

All forced induction systems running street gas are limited by poor quality gas. As the gas gets worse, you have to pull out more timing to
avoid detonation. This does eliminate detonation, but it increases exhaust gas temperatures and severely limits power output. The other
scheme for limiting detonation and keeping EGTs down is to run very rich under boost. There is a better way. Water injection acts just like
very high octane fuel, only cheaper! This is especially true when running a water/methanol mix, allowing the use of leaner/more powerful
fuel mixtures and much more ignition timing. We've seen significant gains from this.
The scary thing about most water injection setups is the potential for disaster. If you tune your engine to take advantage of the WI, you are
driving a possible grenade. If the water flow stops for any reason, you are now running way too much timing and too little fuel, leading to
detonation. That's why all the water injection setups we use have safety features built in. When integrated with the Hydra Nemesis, water/
methanol injection becomes a very safe tool for extracting the most out of pump gas. The Hydra will adjust fuel and timing when the water
injection is active. If there is a problem such as a burst line, an empty tank or a clogged nozzle, the system shuts down the pump and
sends a signal to the Hydra. The Hydra will then revert back to more conservative fuel and timing maps and can even cut turbo boost to
prevent engine damage.
Mydrniet wter irjectior
As the name implies, the Hydramist is designed to integrate with the Hydra Nemesis. It's possibly the most sophisticated water injection
system on the market. We've used this to make over 420 hp on 91 octane pump gas.
The water/methanol delivery is controlled by the Hydra using a 3D map. This allows the amount of water to be fine-tuned just like fuel. It
includes a 2 1/16" gauge that shows water flow, Hydra status, system status and warning lights. It also allows you to easily turn the water
injection system on or off - and of course, the Hydra will adjust accordingly. For use with Hydra-equipped cars only. Includes three nozzles
and everything needed for installation except for a water reservoir. 1990-05 (07-17200) $799.00
Grow Gtge G Oooet Cooler
A simpler system than the Hydramist, the Snow can be used with any ECU. Manifold pressure is monitored by a MAP sensor, and water
delivery is proportional to the boost level. It's more sophisticated than other setups that are either simply on or off, but it's still easy to set
up. The basic kit includes a tank, two nozzles and all else required for installation. As used on our turbo Westfield.
The optional SafeInjection box monitors the water flow so the Hydra can alter the fuel and timing maps accordingly. It can also be wired in
to a warning light. The LCD flow gauge displays the amount of water flow as measured by the SafeInjection.

Over the past couple of years, dropping a 1.8 engine into a 1990-93 Miata has become more and more common. Why? Well, it's a good
way to add power and torque. It's surprisingly affordable. If your plans are for big power, it's easier to accomplish with the larger engine. It
also means you can fit a stroker engine in for maximum power from a Miata block.
But the biggest reason it's become so widespread is the existence of the Flyin' Miata conversion kit. A 1.8 swap used to involve a certain
amount of fabrication. No more. The conversion kit includes the following: a throttle body adaptor to install your 1.6 throttle body on the 1.8
intake manifold, a coil bracket to mount your coils on the new head, an EGR block-off plate, a throttle cable mount, wiring parts to extend
the cam angle sensor harness and the appropriate motor mount brackets.
For a short version of what needs to be done, check out the Technical section of flyinmiata.com. Mazda Miata Performance Projects
also contains some more information on the swap.

Plyir' Nit irIlow kit
We've spent a lot of time testing cooling systems on our dyno, and this is one of
the spinoffs. A pair of Spal fans chosen not only for their flow, but their ability to pull
air through a stack of heat exchangers such as an intercooler and A/C condensor.
They're also low-profile enough to clear most intercooler piping.
We also mounted them to an aluminum shroud to ensure that all the air gets pulled
through the radiator - and we mounted the shroud far enough away from the
radiator to make sure the whole core gets air. Some of the shrouds on the market
are far too close to the rad, meaning that only about half of the core gets airflow.
We also added some flaps that allow air to bypass the shroud at high speed
without affecting the draw of the fans. The end result is a compact package that
does an excellent job of cooling high-power Miatas. The prototype is shown here.
Radiator not included.
Stage 1 pulls 4210 CFM and will fit almost anything. Stage 2 will fit most 4-cylinder

Plyir' Nit oil cooler kit
Your oil is the lifeblood of your engine, and if it overheats then it starts to lose viscosity -
then Bad Things happen. But many oil cooler kits aren't well thought out and can fail too
easily. So we developed our own. Yes, that's a bit of a common theme around here.
We use a Mocal oil thermostat so your engine comes up to temperature as quickly as
possible, as cold oil doesn't lubricate properly. Braided stainless steel lines with AN-
8 fittings ensure a long, reliable life in this critical system. The Setrab 13-row cooler is
mounted in front of the steering rack on laser-cut stainless steel brackets. Easy bolt-in
installation. Fits all 1990-05 Miatas including the Mazdaspeed. Sorry, it's not compatible
with our old FM II turbos that had a steel intercooler tube right in front of the engine.

We've worked with a leading clutch manufacturer to develop a new option for the 1990-05 Miata. These new clutches will hold as much
torque as an ACT, but have a pedal effort that is much lower and an engagement point that's not buried in the carpet. This makes them
easier to drive. Even your hydraulic system and crankshaft thrust bearing will thank you for it! Level I clutches work for any Miata with stock
engine internals. The Level II is a little bit heavier, but will hold massive torque - a good option for built engines. 1.8 size - to install on a 1.6
engine, you'll need a 1.8 flywheel as well. We've tested these at over 400 hp at the wheels and they're SFI certified.
All clutch kits include the disc, pressure plate, release and pilot bearings, an alignment tool and a clutch switch override to minimize thrust
bearing wear. 90 day limited warranty. We recommend changing the rear crank main seal and the transmission input seals when the

off! While used boxes are cheap, you don't win races by breaking.
To solve this problem, we worked with Quaife to develop a set of transmission internals
that will deal with mighty abuse. The gears are larger, the teeth have less pitch and it's all
fabricated to Quaife's high levels of quality. There's a bit more noise, but it still has the quick
and precise shifting you expect from a Miata.
While we were in there, we changed the ratios a bit to make them more suitable for a
high-power Miata. Available with a wide or close ratio set with either 5th gear ratio.
How well does it work? After breaking several stock gearboxes, Matt Andrews used one in
his domination of the 2008 Redline Time Attack series. Despite the high horsepower levels
from his built FM stroker engine, he never had to worry about a gearbox failure again.
Although it's possible his competitors would have appreciated a bit of a break!
We can provide it as a fully built transmission with all new bearings, seals, synchros and
forks. The only part that's reused is the case. There is a $450 core charge for a complete
transmission, which is refunded if you provide us with a replacement - blown or not.
Also available as gearset only, requiring professional installation and we strongly
recommend replacing any wear parts such as synchros. Some clearancing of the case will be required to clear the larger gears. 5-speed
only.

Great sound, classic looks and solid construction - there's a reason
Flyin' Miata exhausts are so popular. Theyre not the least expensive on the market,
but we firmly believe they are the best. Nobody else pays the same attention to
detail. They even come with a limited lifetime warranty for the original buyer. That's
right - it's the last exhaust you'll ever have to buy.
All of our exhausts use polished and engraved double-wall 3" / 75mm tips for a
subtle, quality look. The mufflers and resonators are tuned to avoid any nasty
rasp and provide a deep, powerful sound. The entire system is made in the US
by Thermal R&D out of 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. Even
the flanges are polished stainless! All tubes are mandrel-bent on a CNC bender
for high accuracy. The tips are adjustable to make it a snap to get the perfect fit. It
might all sound a little obsessive, but do you want anything less on your car?
1990-97 cars have an exhaust system that consists of a header, a catalytic
converter and a cat-back section with the muffler. The 1999-09 cars are a bit
different with a long front pipe that contains the catalytic converter and a shorter
muffler piece that starts at the rear axle. Our exhausts sometimes have extra joints
in them to make them less expensive to ship, but theyre sold in the same sections.
Turbocharged cars should use a turbo exhaust as they are designed for turbo
sound levels and have low backpressure to help the turbo perform. Naturally aspirated and supercharged cars should
use a normal exhaust with more sound deadening.

OO=-OH O" turbo exHuet
Go big or go home! For maximum power and spool, we now offer a full 3" exhaust system. When tested on
our 266 rwhp MSM, we saw peak power jump by 16 hp, peak torque by 10 lb-ft and maximum boost showed
up 200 rpm sooner when compared to one of our 2.5" systems. Even better gains can be expected with
larger turbos. The sound is deeper, but no louder than our other turbo exhausts. Due to the size and design
of these components, both the standard exhaust and midpipe are replaced. The catalytic converters used
are all very high flow metal core units.
We have two options. The 3" package replaces the downpipe, midpipe/catalytic converter and muffler. In
this case your complete exhaust system will be 3" in diameter right to the tailpipe. This is going to give the
maximum benefit. If you're buying a new turbo system, you can get the complete 3" system for only $140
more than a 2.5" setup.
If you want to retain your existing downpipe, we have our hybrid system with a standard 2.5" flange and inlet
and a 3" outlet. This still showed an 11 hp gain and improved spool over the reference 2.5" exhaust, but not
as much as the full 3". If you want to go to a 3" setup later, our 3" upgrade replaces the 2.5" to 3"
metal core cat with a full 3" one and adds the downpipe.
Available for all 1994-05 Miatas except the 2004-05 Mazdaspeed with a stock turbo. 1.6 cars can
use the hybrid setup if they have our hybrid downpipe to mate to a 1.8 catalytic converter.

Everybody understands that heavier cars put more demands on their brakes. If you double
the weight of a car, you double the amount of kinetic energy and thus the amount of
heat the brakes have to deal with. But what most people don't understand is that
faster cars are much harder on their brakes - if you double the speed, you now
have four times as much heat going into the system! Since we specialize in
making as much horsepower as possible, it's only fair that we should offer the
best in braking options.
We've designed a few different braking systems over the years and even sold
some popular ones from other manufacturers. However, these are the best
we've ever seen.
In the front, we start with forged four-piston Wilwood calipers. These
are dramatically lighter than
stock, have a much wider
range of options for pads
and apply a more even
pressure on the pad. It's
also really easy to change
the pads in them, making
them ideal for dual-purpose
cars that see use on both the
track and the street.
We mount them on a light-weight
aluminum bracket of our own design and wrap
them around two-piece 11"/280mm Racing Brake slotted rotors for maximum heat capacity. The floating design of the rotors means they
are free to expand from heat without stress or dimensional instability. Theyre also 1.3 lbs lighter than single-piece rotors of similar size.
In the back, we keep the factory caliper so the emergency brake works as designed. A special bracket moves the caliper outboard so it fits
on the two-piece 11" rotor. Performance pads, stainless steel lines and high-performance DOT4 brake fluid make it all work. They're actually
lighter overall than stock 1.8 brakes.
We understand that to get the most out of your brakes, you also need to have the ideal proportioning - so all of our big brake kits
for 1990-05 Miatas include a new adjustable proportioning valve. The one exception is the 2001-05 cars with ABS, as
they use electronic brake force distribution to ensure the best front/rear balance.
Requires 15" or larger wheels - please call for fitment advice.

GOOG-O big brke kit
Racing Brake developed this big brake upgrade for the front of the 2006-
10 model, and we worked with them to refine it into something that
would work for us. The calipers are big, stiff fully floating 4-piston units
that are fitted with double dust seals for harsh daily driving and use a
radial mount. The rotors are two-piece floating units that measure a
massive 12.7". Despite the size of the rotor, the complete assembly is
3.6 lbs lighter than stock. New stainless steel brake lines for all four
wheels are included, and there's a choice of eight different pad
compounds.
Due to the size, 17" or larger wheels are required. Stock
17" wheels will fit if you use a 5mm spacer, and we strongly
recommend longer studs in that case. ABS-equipped cars have
electronic brake force distribution, so there's no need to mess
with adjustable proportioning valves.
Price will vary with pad compound chosen.

The R4 is a Carbon-Kevlar race pad, best when temperatures are between 450F and 1200F. Won't wilt under hard track use like the R4S
can, but not as happy, quiet or consistent on the street.

Plyir' Nit brke proportiorirg kit
When you're braking, much of your car's weight is transferred forward to the front
wheels. This means the fronts have much more traction than the rears - anyone who
has played around on a bicycle knows how this works. If you lock the back brakes
first, your car wants to spin. If you lock the fronts first, you're not getting maximum
benefit out of the rears. That's why brake bias - the proportioning of braking done by
the front vs rear brakes - is so important. Mazda gave the Miata a lot of front brake
bias because it's safer. But when you lower the car, put on better brake pads or
install stickier tires, you change the ideal brake bias. So what can you do?
This kit lets you easily install an adjustable proportioning valve in place of your factory one.
That gives you control over the brake bias so you can dial in the perfect balance for your car
and even for the conditions on a race track on a particular day if you want. The key to making
this a bolt-on is FM's exclusive 10mm flare adapter, a part so elusive we had to have it made to
our own specs! The kit includes everything you need for installation except brake fluid, and the adapter is available separately in case you
need it for some other project. Possibly one of the best values in brake upgrades. Included with our 1990-05 big brake kits.

Why do Flyin' Miata's suspension parts work so well? Because we drive
Miatas every day. We take them to the track. We autocross them. We talk to
Miata owners, help them build the best car for their needs, and listen to their
feedback.
When we develop a new part, we begin with a prototype based on
calculations. Then we test it under a variety of conditions with a range
of drivers. Feedback from the drivers is used to change the setup, and
we keep up this design-test loop until we come up with something that
satisfies us. It takes longer, but since our name goes on the result we
think it's important to be sure that we're offering the best. Then, once the
parts are in production, we keep driving them. Sometimes, they'll go back for further work if we think they can be improved. For example,
we redesigned our springs in 2006 based on a decade of experience driving them. We only made a few fairly minor changes, but it took
them from being good to being great.
Our suspension packages are a great way to take advantage of all of this experience and testing, and get a matched set of components.
Instead of the trial and error of collecting bits and pieces from all over the place, you know you'll get a kit of parts that will work together as
if they were designed together - which they were. As an added bonus, you'll save money - as much as $89 depending on the package.
All 1990-97 packages include a set of upgraded bumpstops for a dramatically improved ride and suspension travel. 1999 and later cars
come with decent bumpstops from the factory, but they may have degraded over time so it's worth checking their condition.

We know, it's a bit confusing to have both our FM Stage 1 and the V-Maxx suspension in the catalog. Basically, the Stage 1 gives you
adjustable shock settings so you can tweak the ride and handling to your satisfaction, but there are no options for the ride height. It's
intended for street cars that see use on the track and the autocross course.
The V-Maxx has adjustable spring perches that let you set your ride height and cornerweight the car. The spring rates are a bit higher and
the damping of the shocks cannot be adjusted. This is a more race-oriented setup than the FM springs, but is still comfortable enough to
drive day in and day out.

We've been saying for a while that the key to making a suspension work is to give it room to move. The
AFCOs illustrate this extremely well. The long travel not only helps the suspension absorb big hits, it also
makes the car extremely stable under almost every condition. For example, when you're braking hard and
hit a bump or a berm on track, the ability of the suspension to absorb that bump makes the difference
between the car staying under control or darting around with locked wheels.
The suspension was originally developed for our Targa Newfoundland racer. It needed to be able to deal
with some of the roughest roads in North America at race speeds. It had to be stable and responsive
at high speed on both smooth and broken pavement for long periods of time, so the shock had to be
able to deal well with internal heat. The town stages are basically autocrosses that last for 5 minutes.
After testing a number of options, we realized that we were going to have to build our own system. We
started with the AFCO system that has won the SCCA Runoffs for three years in a row, and proceeded
to develop a setup with maximum travel.
We spent months exploring variations in upper mounts, valving, shaft and body length, bumpstops,
spring rates and even the material used for the internal check ball. We ran them in autocrosses and
racked up a number of FTDs. The first time we ran these at our track, the AFCO-equipped car was
the fastest Miata there despite a nearly 100 hp handicap over the next fastest - which was also
fitted with a high-end coilover. In fact, the AFCO car set a new track record for Miatas.
Then we sent the car off to the Targa Newfoundland for the real test. Keith raved about how well
the suspension worked in the race, even when he pounded over speed bumps at 80 mph at full
throttle. The unflappable composure of the car regardless of the road surface even impressed
the spectators. Despite the huge variety of road conditions and corners, the car never got
unstable. But it's not just a rally suspension - everything that makes it work on rough pavement
makes it very effective on the track.
Our customers have found dramatic
improvements in lap times. One
customer reported dropping 6.2
seconds from his lap time at Willow Springs when
compared to his old Koni setup - and that's on a track he's been driving for 20
years. The ability to carry speed around the fast turns 8 and 9 made a huge
difference. These results may not be typical, but they show just what a difference
good suspension can make.
The US-built shocks have an aluminum body for light weight, good heat control
and long life. There are 22 settings for compression damping and 32 for rebound,
separately adjustable. The independent adjustments allow the handling to be
fine-tuned exceptionally well. Naturally, the shocks are rebuildable. The springs
are heat treated twice and carry a lifetime warranty. Standard rates are 450 lb/in
front and 300 lb/in rear, but we can supply just about any springs you need. The
wide adjustment range means the shocks can deal with up to 750 lb springs on
the stock valving, and custom valving is available.

You'd be amazed at how many suspension systems we test at Flyin' Miata. Even with a full line of parts, we're always looking for good
options to pass along to our customers. When we first tried the V-Maxx suspension, we didn't expect it to be any good due to the low
price. To our surprise, it was better than most - but it wasn't quite right. So we changed the spring rates and bumpstop design until
we had an end result that met our expectations, and worked with the manufacturer to bring our version to market.
So what makes them work? One of the problems with a lot of coilover setups is that the spring can go loose under full droop.
When that happens, there's nothing to extend your shock any further so you've essentially reached the end of your suspension
travel. The helper spring in the V-Maxx coilovers helps to extend the wheel further and give more useful suspension travel. Both
springs work together to give excellent compliance that absorbs small bumps. This means high levels of grip and composure.
Once the helper spring is fully compressed, the main spring takes over.
The helper springs are 112 lb/in, which gives them enough strength to overcome the damping of the shock and stay active.
The primary rates are 391 lb/in in the front and 258 lb/in in the rear, which gives a good handling balance. Other systems will
use helper springs as soft as 5 lb/in, which isn't enough to do anything useful.
Since the spring perch is adjustable, you have full control over ride height and cornerweighting. The shock damping is
well-matched to the springs and fixed. The stock upper mounts are retained, and the V-MAXX is compatible with our
upper shock mounts. They also have a two-year warranty.
They're not quite in the same league as the AFCOs in terms of outright speed, but they do offer excellent value and are
a good choice for someone who wants an inexpensive coilover setup.

Plyir' Nit rer eHock nourte
An exclusive FM product that has met acclaim from racers and spouses worldwide! A lowered Miata has very
little suspension travel in the rear, especially on the 1990-97 cars. Our shock mounts increase rear wheel travel
dramatically without affecting ride height. That's an important distinction from others on the market, which will
drop the car down. This makes a huge difference in the ride and allows the suspension to work properly instead of
hitting the bumpstops. Spherical bearings also improve damping precision without adding harshness.
Available for all aftermarket springs and shocks, except Penske. Not recommended with stock springs due to a loss
in suspension droop. Sold in pairs, not for use in the front because the front wheels will hit the fenders. Not needed
on 1999-05 cars because Mazda increased rear wheel travel. Not needed with AFCO shocks either. Includes a pair of
our MCU bumpstops (below).

The stock bumpstops in a 1990-97 Miata are a hard rubber design, and the Miata spends a surprising amount of time
on them. Mazda changed the design in 1999 to give more travel, a smoother ride and more predictable handling.
These multi-cellular urethane (MCU) units are a step up from that and fit all 1990-05 Miatas. They make such a
difference to the 1990-97 cars that we've made them standard equipment in our suspension kits for those years. Even
if you're running stock springs and shocks, you'll be amazed at the improvement you feel. 4 stops are needed per car.

Tokico lllunir eHocke
Our favorite affordable shock for the 1990-05 cars. We've been running the Illumina for over a decade and a half on some of our personal
cars. Compared to other shocks in the class, it has a better ride and the ability to handle stiffer springs well. It's what we used to develop
our springs, and we include them in our suspension kits. 5-way adjustments give you control over both compression and rebound
damping simultaneously. Limited lifetime warranty.

The biggest problem with the 2006-08 Miata is the shock absorber specification. Mazda's usually pretty good at this, so we can't explain
how they got it so wrong. However, we can solve it. These shocks won't lower the car, but they will fix the odd suspension behavior so the
car works much better. If you're only going to do one thing to a 2006-08, this is it.
The HTS is the next generation of Tokico shocks, and gives a very good ride while dealing with both stock and stiffer springs with aplomb.
Both compression and rebound can be adjusted together through a wide range, and there are no "clicks" in the adjustment so you can dial
them right in. They're the base for our 2006-10 suspension kits.

How do we know these are good? We designed them ourselves based on 20 years of driving and racing Miatas. Our goal
was a spring that we could drive 250 miles to the track over bumpy, twisty mountain passes, lap ourselves silly and then
drive home again. That's a good description of a typical track outing at Flyin' Miata, and the springs do a great job. The ride
height is a bit taller than most other "lowering" springs and we run a higher spring rate. It seems counter-intuitive at first
that stiffer springs will ride better, but it's all a matter of staying off the bumpstops and letting the suspension move. Most
aftermarket springs are too soft for their ride height.
Our springs have linear rates of 318 lb./inch front and 233 lb./inch rear for 1990-05 cars, and 300 lb/in front, 196 lb/in rear
for the 2006-10.
How much will they lower your car? If measured from the center of the wheel to the fender lip, a 1990-97 will end up
approximately 12.5"-13" (330mm) in the front and 13"-13.25"(336mm) in the rear. 1999-05 cars are 12.5" front and 13"
rear, while 2006+ cars sit at 13.5" front and 13.75" rear. Stock Miata heights varied over the years so you'll have to
measure yours in order to figure out how much it will drop.
Set of four. Not recommended with stock shocks due to lack of damping. We designed these to work best with the
Tokico Illumina or HTS shocks, although they can be used with Konis, some Bilsteins, KYB AGX and others.

Gound Control coilover sleeves give you the ability to change ride height, cornerweight and experiment with different

the secondary springs.
Includes a set of four high-quality Eibach race series springs, threaded perches, an adjustment wrench and everything
else needed for installation. Standard rates are 425 lb/in front, 300 lb/in rear for Tokico shocks, and 375 lb/in front, 250
lb/in rear for others. Custom rates are also available. Available for the KYB AGX, Tokico Illumina, Koni Sport or Bilsteins

With the help of Energy Suspension, you can banish rubber from your car's suspension
completely! Polyurethane bushings will make your suspension move differently. Instead of
relying on a rubber bushing that twists and can preload your suspension, these bushings
move freely throughout their entire range. There's less deflection and thus more precision.
You'll get a bit more high-frequency vibration through the car, but it will feel smoother.
The differential bushing upgrade will cut down on differential movement, making it
harder to do the classic 2-5 shift and transmitting power to the wheels with less slop.
Only a partial set is shown.

Possibly the best bang for the buck in Miata performance. Upgraded sway bars are
one of the best ways to improve your Miata's handling and are easy to install. Now
available for the latest Miata!
The bars transfer load from one side of the car to the other under cornering so you
have less body roll. This means less camber change for your suspension, quicker
turn-in and much faster transitions. Since they only come in to play when only one
wheel tries to move, they have little impact on the ride. By adjusting the stiffness of
the bars front and rear, you can also easily change the handling balance of the car
to suit your needs. Our swaybars are hot formed from 4140 CrMo spring steel. This
means they're stronger than the cold-formed bars found elsewhere. The front and
rear 2006-10 bars are even tubular for light weight.
We've designed them to keep the same handling balance as your stock sways, but they have two or three settings in the front and three in
the rear for fine-tuning. Includes brackets and urethane bushings with waterproof grease. Designed as a matched set, but individual bars
are available. 7/8" front, 5/8" rear 1990-93 (13-36500) $199.00

Under extreme use, the stock front sway bar mounts on the Miata can tear right off the frame. This
is usually only a concern with oversize sway bars and motorsport use with sticky tires,
but it can happen in these conditions. The 1999-05 cars are weaker than the 1990-97 in
this regard.
The solution comes from Mazda Competition in the form of these upgraded mounts.
Beautifully made and fully boxed, they're much more effective than band-aid solutions.
To install, you'll have to drill out a couple of spot welds to remove the old mounts and bolt
these in to place. No welding is required. Mounting points for both 1990-93 and 1994-05
sway bars are included, which is useful if you have a 1.6 with a 1.8 engine and need to move the sway
further forward for a little more room up by the pulley. Fits all 1990-05 Miatas. Sold in pairs.

The high-misalignment bearings in these links are made to tight tolerances similar to those used in
our upper shock mounts. The PFTE lining makes them more resistant to wear. They also come with
a dust boot to keep dirt and grit out - shown installed on one link in the picture. The turnbuckle
center is made of anodized aluminum and is threaded with one left-hand end so that the
length can be adjusted without removing the link from the car. The center-to-center length can
vary from 90-115 mm.
Okay, so they're the coolest end links ever. But why do you need adjustable end links? Well, they allow
you to remove any preload from the sway bar. They also make it easier to reach the extremes of your sway
bar adjustment and can be torqued with the car in the air. You can either use one adjustable end link on each
sway bar to remove preload, or one pair per bar to eliminate binding as well.
As used on our Targa Newfoundland race car!

The Miata's control arms were designed with mass production in mind.
They're made of stamped steel, and they could be both lighter and stiffer.
Mazda recognized the latter and actually added reinforcements over the
years to ensure the arms wouldn't bend under hard use, but there's only so
much they could do, plus this added weight.
These tubular arms from V8 Roadsters remove an average of 3 lbs of weight
per corner. Even better, this is semi-sprung weight so it has a real effect on
how well your suspension reacts to bumps. They're also stiffer than the stock
parts so you'll have more consistent suspension geometry.
Thanks to a clever design, they add extra camber adjustment both front
and rear. The position of the ball joint on the lower front control arm can be
altered using a factory Miata alignment cam, increasing camber without
affecting wheel-to-spring clearance. The rear upper control arm adds an
adjustment, allowing the rear camber to be increased and giving more
fender clearance at the same time.
The arms are fitted with polyurethane bushings for the best ride/handling
compromise and the upper ball joint is replacable. An excellent upgrade
for a track-driven Miata that needs less weight, more strength and more
camber!

Nothing makes a more dramatic difference to the look and performance of your car
than a good set of wheels and tires. Unfortunately, that can be good or bad. If you
make the wrong decision, you can end up with a Miata that has lost its sense of
fun. That's where we come in.
Flyin Miata is a Tire Rack dealer and can provide just about any wheel and tire
you might want. Why buy from us? Because nobody knows Miatas better than
we do. Chances are we've tried the tire you're talking about on a Miata, and we
know what tires suit the car best.
Because we're a Tire Rack dealer, if you order wheels and tires from us you'll
get free mounting and balancing. We're unusual in that Tire Rack will happily
ship directly to you - they don't usually do that for their dealers. In other words,
you'll get Tire Rack's excellent pricing with the technical assistance of Flyin' Miata.
That's a good combination.
You can give us a call and well help you determine what works best for you. We're
always on the lookout for good options, and we can help regardless of whether
you're looking for a reasonably light but affordable setup, a set of winter tires or a
no-compromises autocross winner.
One wheel you might want to know about is the new TR Motorsports C3M, shown at
left. It's a wide 15x9 that will give maximum support for track tires and was designed
specifically for the Miata with a +36mm offset. It's 15.6 lbs and costs only $109 -
that's around $80 per wheel less than other options on the market. We think it's going
to become a common sight at track events around the country.

This brace was designed when our friend Skip Cannon bought an aftermarket unit for his 1992.
A number of design flaws were immediately apparent, so he decided he could do better - and he
did. The Cannon brace is CNC machined out of 1/4"/6mm aluminum, then powdercoated. Along
with the stainless steel fasteners, this makes the brace rustproof unlike other, folded
steel versions. A removeable section means it doesn't require exhaust removal
for installation. This is the strongest brace available due to its four-point mounting
and heavy aluminum plate construction. Does not fit with GReddy exhaust. Some
modifications are required to fit the brace to 1992-97 models.

All the loads from your front suspension are transferred to the chassis through
the two front chassis arms. Frog Arms bolt on underneath the front fenders and
reinforce this stressed area, giving more precision to your handling. You could
seam-weld your car for a similar improvement, but that's time-consuming, messy
and pretty difficult for most people to do - instead, the Frog Arms simply bolt in
to place. They might be bright green, but they live under the fenders so they're
completely invisible when installed.
We install these on almost every one of our V8 conversions to prepare the chassis
for the torque of the big engine.

We've seen a lot of damaged frame rails on Miatas, so we
decided to do something about it. We started with two stainless
steel rails bolted over the top of the factory rails. Some
instrumented testing showed a 30% decrease in twist on a car
already equipped with a roll bar. Not bad! The new rails are much
stronger than the originals and can be used for a jacking point.
High-strength stainless fasteners are used to avoid any rust
problems in the future. Intended for 1990-02 Miatas although
they also can be used for cars with the Sport bracing if one
factory brace is left off. We recently redesigned them to cut the
weight by 30%.
To make the car even stiffer, we added the stainless butterfly-
shaped center section to join the rails and turn the transmission
tunnel into a box. This makes a tired 1990 feel like a brand new
2005 and gives the suspension a solid platform to work from. As
Grassroots Motorsports said after trying it on their car, "Its like we
removed a few hundred thousand miles from the odometer".
The center section is adjustable to clear exhaust systems of different sizes and designs and can be removed for full access to the
transmission tunnel. The fuel and brake lines are protected by the braces and the whole assembly is strong enough that it can actually act
as a skid plate. A car equipped with our frame rails can be upgraded to the full butterfly setup later, if desired. With most exhausts, ground
clearance is not affected. Total weight is 25 lbs, all below the center of gravity and between the wheels. Not intended for cars with the 2001-
02 Sport bracing, 2003-05 models or 1990-93 cars with a stock downpipe and catalytic converter.

Plyir' Nit eHock tower brce
Our shock tower took a hiatus for a few years, but it's back! The Miata doesn't have a strut suspension,
so it doesn't put huge loads through the shock towers like other cars. But stiffening this area of the car
will improve steering feel, which is why Mazda started adding braces to some models starting in 1999.
Not all shock tower braces are equal, however. The bar itself has to be as close to straight as possible
- big bends mean it will flex like a ski under compression. The towers that connect to the body have to
have a solid connection, ideally running around the full perimeter of the shock. Compare our brace to
the cheap ones on the market and you'll see a big difference. Most of the others are purely for looks,
although we will admit they make great towel racks for our shop bathroom!

The Sport bar is our favorite street bar because it's easy to live with, but is still accepted at many track events - although we do recommend
checking with the organizers. That's it in the picture above after being tested dramatically. Made of 1.5" DOM tubing, it allows the use
of both hard and soft tops and does not interfere with seat travel. It's available in configurations that allow the use of either stock or
aftermarket glass windows. You can get it with no diagonals, a single diagonal or a double diagonal. A harness bar is optional on the 1990-
97 models and harness tabs on the 1999-05, although the bar's too low for harnesses for most drivers.
1990-05 from $315.00
Mrd Core
The Hard Core sits a bit further forward and a bit taller. It's made of 1.75" DOM tube and is legal for SCCA Solo I use if you can get low
enough to meet the required 2" clearance. Unfortunately, it interferes with the side latches for the hardtop although the top can be bolted
in place. It does affect seat travel slightly. It comes standard with harness mounting points and a single diagonal. A second diagonal is
optional. 1990-05 from $415.00
Mrd Core Mrd Top
Basically a Sport with a standard diagonal and harness attachments, made of the stronger 1.75" tubing.
1990-05 from $425.00
Oeuce
Fancy the old Cobra look? The Deuce is for you. It's made of beefy 1.75" tubing and has
lots of solid structure underneath - it's not just a pretty style bar. The double-hump design
avoids the race car look of more traditional roll bar designs, and the rear bracing can be
attached at the top of the bar (shown) or the side. No seat travel restrictions or interference
with any sort of top or rear window style. It sits a bit lower than the Sport so it does not offer
as much clearance in the event of an unplanned inversion. It's best for those who put a bit
more emphasis on form than function. Not legal for track use in most cases.
1990-05 from $405.00
Ace
The Ace is a traditionally-styled bar that sits behind the seats. It's shorter than a Sport so it won't offer quite as much protection, but it's
compatible with all windows and does not affect the seatbelts. It shares the same design between the seat belt towers as the Deuce,
adding to side impact protection considerably. Available with one, two or no diagonals in either the main hoop or the rear braces. Harness
attachment points are options, but we don't recommend them. 1990-05 from $325.00

The 2006 and later cars are a real packaging problem for roll bars because of the way their tops fold. It appears there's simply no room for
a rear brace. Well, Hard Dog has figured it out! This bar bolts into the beefy mounting points for the factory hoops. Made of strong 1.75"
DOM tubing, there are rear braces hidden under the rear deck of the car with large backing plates for a strong footing. Full seat movement
is retained. For extra strength, a removable Petty bar can be installed for track use. Not compatible with the power hard top. These are so
new we don't even have pictures yet - see our website. New! 2006-10 from$425.00
Mrd Or
The Power Retractable Hard Top cars can't use the Sport bar, as the rear braces interfere with the top. The Hard Bar is constructed of the
same materials, but without the rear braces. For track use, the optional Petty bar will give you fore-aft bracing and should make this bar
legal for track roll-over protection. Fits all 2006-10 Miatas. Given the choice, we'd recommend using the Sport when possible.

Quality plug wires, stainless steel spiral wound core. Much higher quality than the NGKs. Stock wires usually last 20,000-30,000 miles
(30,000-45,000 km) and are possibly the only weak link in the Miata drivetrain. No RF interference. 8 mm wires are blue, 8.5mm are red.

Heat range 6. Great for FM turbo cars! The extended reach starts the fuel/air mixture closer to the center of the combustion chamber, giving
a better burn. The heat range helps prevent detonation on turbo cars, but resists fouling. Sold in sets of four.

OoecH oxyger eereor
Much less expensive than the factory parts with the same quality. Why is it so much less? Because it has a generic connector on it that
requires splicing to factory wires. We include high-quality butt connectors with integrated heat-shrink so you don't need to worry about a
bad connection. A four-wire O2 sensor is recommended for all years equipped with FM/Link ECU for better accuracy. Suitable for front or
rear O2 sensors on 1996-05 cars as well.

tinirg belt kit
Our timing belt kit is a little more expensive than some others because it includes the tensioner and
idler pulleys. We find almost every Miata needs new ones when doing a timing belt. In addition to
the timing belt, it includes cam seals, front crank seal, a cam cover gasket and a CAS O-ring (if
required). Accessory belts sold separately. Don't get caught on a Saturday afternoon without parts
you need!

Plyir' Nit tecH eupport


We know the Miata better than anyone else. We spend all day taking them apart and putting them back together. We support thousands
of Miata owners worldwide. When magazines have questions about the car, they come to us. We've even written books about Miatas. So if
you need advice or help, we'll be able to answer any questions you have.
We have a team of highly experienced Miata techs available on the phone to help you if you get stuck on an installation or troubleshooting
- even on stock Miatas. We can't promise that we can answer every possible question, but we have a pretty good record even on the real
oddballs.
We do ask a couple of things, though. Please call us on the tech line - (970) 464 5600 - or email tech@flyinmiata.com instead of
phoning the sales line. We need to keep that open for people who want to buy things. Also, please be patient if one of our techs isn't able
to help you right away. The guys answering questions are the same ones who are developing new parts, and sometimes they're busy in the
shop when you call or email. If your questions about about how to do basic mechanical jobs, we have some excellent reference books on
page 33 that can also help.

Plyir' Nit oil Iilter reloctior kit
Unless you're fitted with optional extra joints in your arms, changing the oil filter on a Miata
can literally be a pain. But a lot of oil filter relocation kits use short-lived hose and brittle
cast aluminum fittings, not a good plan for the life blood of your engine. We didn't. This
second-generation kit is oil filter relocation done the FM way.
Our hoses are teflon-line braided stainless steel with AN -8 fittings for maximum strength and
minimum pressure loss. We paid close attention to the design of the interior passages in the billet
aluminum oil filter block and adapter, to maximize flow and minimize turbulence. The oil filter block
itself is mounted on rubber isolators with a backing plate to cut down on the common gurgling
noise. We even included a 1/8 NPT fitting that can be used to feed oil to a turbo or a gauge. Fits
all 1990-05 Miatas, although it's a tight fit on cars with ABS.
New! 1990-05 (04-36150) $245.00
Medlire
If you're going to work your engine hard, you should take care of it. We use Redline lubricants in all our competition and street cars. There's
no better way to protect an expensive engine than with quality synthetic oils. Transmissions shift better as well.
Medlire NTL eyrtHetic ger oil
A fully synthetic transmission oil. It has a very stable viscosity across a high temperature range. The friction level is relatively high friction for
optimum synchro function. The magicians at Redline designed it to drop the friction as rotational speeds get closer. This means easy, light
shifting in all weather with smooth gear engagement. It has been a standard Miata upgrade for as long as there have been Miatas. Two
quarts required unless the shift turret oil is also changed, then three quarts are required. Change every 30k miles/50k km.
One quart 1990-10 (10-26000) $11.95
Medlire NT-OO eyrtHetic ger oil
Similar to MTL, but designed for harder-working gearboxes. It won't shift quite as well when cold, but it will protect your transmission better
under extreme conditions. Recommended for track cars. One quart 1990-10 (10-26020) $11.95
Medlire 7H-OO diIIerertil ger oil
75W90 gear oil. Stable under a high temperature range and very efficient, this ensures as much of your power makes it to the wheels as
possible. Works well in all Miata differentials including limited slip. One quart required. Change every 30k miles/50k km.
One quart 1990-10 (10-26010) $10.95
Medlire eyrtHetic notor oil
What kind of oil do you put in a motor that's worth more than many Miatas? Full synthetic.It's thinner at low temperatures and holds
viscosity better at higher temperatures than petroleum based oils. Redline is what we use in every car we drive, whether its a fun little city
car, an all-out competition turbo Miata or the tow vehicle. Available in 10W30, 10W40 and 20W50. Red Line 20W50 is recommended for
track use only. Four quarts required. Change every 3k miles/5k km. 5w20 2006-10 (10-16000) $9.49
10w30, 10w40 1990-05 (10-16000) $10.95
20w50 1990-05 (10-16000) $9.95
Medlire Vter Vetter
While antifreeze is good at keeping your cooling system from freezing and provides some corrosion protection, it doesn't help your car
cool. That's what Water Wetter is for. It breaks up the surface tension of your coolant, allowing the water to get things, well, "wetter". This
increases the heat transfer and prevents spot boiling in the head. It will also inhibit corrosion and lubricate water pumps, just like antifreeze.
An easy cooling upgrade for track-driven cars, just pour a bottle in the radiator. It won't protect against freezing though!
10 oz. 1990-10 (10-46010) $9.95
Medlire G Iuel irjectior clerer
To keep injectors and intake valves squeaky clean. Use 1/2 bottle every 3 months or so for the best performance.
15 oz. 1990-10 (10-96000) $8.95
mippor Iternrket oil Iilter.
It might not say Mazda, but we believe its good enough for even our most exotic competition engines. It's even JDM!

There's an aluminum washer around the drain plug. To avoid drips, replace it every time you change the oil.

Plyir' Nit pedle
High performance driving means high performance footwork. This pedal set extends your
gas pedal for easier heel-toe work and has more grip than the stock rubber covers. Yes, it
has been properly tested - these pedals offer 50% more grip than stock when dry and 30%
more when wet. They fasten securely to your stock pedals for worry-free driving.
Includes an extension for the gas pedal, brake/clutch pedals and a dead pedal with the Flyin'
Miata name. Okay, so maybe you don't need a high-traction dead pedal. But it's good to
know that not only do they look good, they'll improve your performance!
Available for all Miatas and MX-5s. The 2006-10 pedals are shaped differently and do not
extend the gas pedal to the side.
1990-10 (21-74000) $89.95
Plyir' Nit rcirg glowee
Racing gloves serve two purposes: to help you keep a good grip on the wheel, and to
protect you in case things go wrong.
FM's racing gloves have a suede leather palm and fingers for maximum grip, with a two-
layer Nomex knit across the back. The Velcro strap lets you get just the right tightness to
keep the glove in place. There's a bit of padding, but not enough to make it hard to grip
the wheel and become tiring or uncomfortable.
All the materials meet FIA 1986 standards, although the gloves themselves don't have
an SFI tag. We found the SFI-rated gloves to be less comfortable, and almost no racing
organizations require your gloves to carry an SFI rating.
To determine size, wrap a measuring tape around the back of your hands, just behind the
knuckles.
M: 7.5 - 8.5"
L: 8.5 - 9.5"
XL: 9.5 - 10.5"
XXL: 10.5 - 11.5"

An air dam will keep air from going under the car, giving you better high speed
stability and improved cooling. But most of them are made of fragile fiberglass
which will shatter the first time you park a bit too close to the curb. This urethane
one will simply bounce out of the way! Includes a couple of inlets that could be
rerouted for either brake cooling or to force more air through the radiator. Easy bolt-
on installation.
Oh, it also gives your Miata a very aggressive look.
New! 1990-97 (22-77500) $199.00
GHiIt-i LGO tcH
Put some Formula 1 tech in your Miata! This little device installs with four wires
and will light up a series of 7 super-bright LEDs as you wind through the rev range.
Great for monitoring engine speed on the track through your peripheral vision. It
automatically dims at night and you get to program exactly when the lights come
on to suit your taste.
As an added bonus, it'll display your battery voltage when you turn on the ignition.
Keith and Brandon both run these in their track cars. Fits all Miatas and most other
cars and motorcycles as well.

Shipping & Handling - A handling fee is added to all orders; $5.00 (per order) for domestic and $15.00 (per order) for international orders. We charge
higher handling fees for orders that require additional packing time or paperwork. Some of our items have flat-rate shipping charges, which may or may not
exceed actual shipping charges. Our web store cannot properly calculate shipping for non-standard orders. You will be contacted for approval to charge

Plyir' Nit world Hedourtere
When FM moved to Colorado in 1996, we worked out of Bill's basement. That didn't last long. He built a big garage, and it was basically too
small by the time he was done. When we moved into our 6,000 square foot building a few years later, we thought we'd never fill it up.
Now we have a 25,000 square foot facility that we basically rebuilt to our specifications. Naturally, we have the warehouse area where
thousands of products are stored, ready to be packed up and sent off to happy Miata owners world wide. There's the office where we do
tech support and do all the boring business things. But the real fun is in the shop.
We have our own dedicated development area, where anything from suspension experiments to engine surgery takes place. This is where
our new products are born, tortured and reworked. On the other side of a wall is the customer area, where customer cars from all over the
continent undergo transformations. In another corner is FM Salvage. Cars are brought in, disassembled and stored inside where we can
quickly access the parts and they're protected from the elements.
In the back corner is our dyno room, where our Rototest dyno lives. It's soundproofed so we can run power tests, cooling tests or generally
work Miatas hard without disturbing the rest of the crew. There are a total of five lifts in the shop and we usually have around 15-20 Miatas
here at any given time. Some of them are from our fleet of development cars, others are customer cars. Some are Miatas in disguise, such
as the Westfields.
We're about 10 minutes away from the Grand Junction Motor Speedway, where we can often test parts on the track at a moment's notice.
It's no coincidence that we hold the lap record for cars there.
We welcome visitors, so if you're in western Colorado please stop by for a tour and to say hi! Who knows what might be in the shop...

Bill Cardell is the founder, owner and "big cheese
dog" of Flyin' Miata. It's quite possible he knows
more about the Miata than Mazda does. He got
his first Miata in 1989 and promptly took it apart.
He has a habit of putting turbochargers on
just about anything he owns. He seems to be
offended by stock vehicles.
Teri is married to Bill and is our office manager.
It's up to her to keep the rest of the team under
control. Not an easy job.
She complains that everything is too slow. If you
let her out on the track in a Miata, she'll keep
running laps until it runs out of gas. Then she'll
take your Miata and do the same thing. Hide the
keys.
Deb McGlynn is our assistant office manager
and helps make FM run under budget despite
the best efforts of the boys.
If you're talking to her on the phone, do not call
her "Debbie". Seriously.
If you order a part from FM, it will be packed in a
way that will survive anything short of a nuclear
bomb blast and every little nut and bolt will be
there. You can thank James Brooks for this.
He'll also answer your cartoon trivia questions.
You have been warned.
Turbodog is the FM mascot and used to be the
fastest Miata fan around. At 13, he has retired from
competition and is appreciating a more relaxed
approach to life.
Jon Hansen spends all of his time working on
Miatas. He's our resident mechanic with 25 years
experience working on just about anything.
If we could find a way to harness his energy, we
could use him to power our shop.
Jeremy Ferber is an ECU tuning guru and has
tuned more Miatas than anyone else alive. If you
have questions on just about anything to do with
engine management and forced induction he'll be
able to help you out.
Being from San Diego, he actually took surfing as
a class in high school.
Brandon Fitch is one of our support and
development techs. He's our resident engineer
so we make him do all the hard brain lifting.
When he's not at work, he's probably skiing or
cycling. He's lazy, what can we say.
Adam puts stuff in boxes and sends it to you.
This makes him one of your favorite people.
Unfortunately for us, he's going to be leaving us
at the end of the year to be an EMT. Doesn't that
face fill you with confidence?
Tami Brown has been with us forever. While she
doesn't always answer the phone - you can thank
Solomon and Maggie for that - she does a lot
of work behind the scenes to keep FM running
smoothly. Thanks to her, the boys don't get away
with anything.

Keith Tanner is one of our techs. You never know
what the next big project for him is going to be
- on the way home from the Targa Newfoundland,
he was working out how to stuff an LS1 into an
MGB GT. For his wife.
Jason Miller kills Miatas. He's our salvage doctor,
harvesting the organs of critically injured Miatas
so that others may live. He also does some
of our installls, bringing Miatas back from the
brink. He'll be leaving us soon to further his ASE
certifications. In person, he is in focus. Usually.

We've come a long way from when Bill started The Dealer Alternative back in 1983. We now have fourteen employees who are kept busy
giving tech advice, designing and testing products, packing and shipping, taking cars apart, putting cars together and doing all the
background jobs that let us do business. We think we have some great products, but more importantly we know we have great people.
Sharilyn Campbell takes care of our customers,
following up on orders and keeping our mailing
list accurate. She usually deals with a different
type of horsepower - she and her husband raise
them on their farm.
Tyler Colunga is one of our three mechanics,
building engines and assisting on V8
conversions. He's a great fabricator and
everyone is jealous of his welding ability. For
some reason, he drives a turbocharged Subaru
instead of a Miata.
Rob Flenard is our newest employee and has a
strong work ethic. He puts in 5 hours at FedEx
before coming to work in our shipping department!
When he's not playing with boxes, he coaches high
school ice hockey.
