Both manufacturer and aftermarket parts are covered.
Customer Ratings: - Mazda Miata Performance Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop). Very good book if you re considering to improve Miata s performance. Many parts of the car are very good and don t need any changes. Some parts can be improved and this book helps to make the correct changes without spending lots of money in the wrong parts.
- Educational insights into Miata development and design. As an insider on the design and development of the Miata, Garrett has some unique insights and some great advice on selecting the right performance or style accessories for this popular roadster.
The book is a quick read and gives you a great overview of what aftermarket modifications give you the best bang for your buck and which ones can actually hurt this car s delicately balanced performance and handling characteristics.
The writing style is accessible with only a few forays into more esoteric aspects of automotive design. I found myself wishing for more information when it came to actual project details. Consider this book a great introduction and overview, but don t look for many project specific details here.
The section on suspension design and wheel and tire selection was particularly useful for me when I decided to replace wheels and tires. The advice on tire and wheel selection alone is worth the price of this book. - Good information for new Miata buyer. Good read for people who like to know the History of Miata. It also got some very useful info on what to modify and what not to. Mazda spend a lot amount of $$ in designing the Miata, and this books explain it.
Will recommended to New Miata owner.
SC - Great hands on Book.. This handbook is simple and gives some great details into the Miata. I recommend this to anyone that wants to work on there own car and make it the best it can be.
- Good read, but it does not make your Miata faster. The Performance Handbook seems to be a little light on performance. A very good read for those of us who love the little cars, but it is more of an illustrated history than a Performance Handbook.
The book does offer a good history on the car, from the first thoughts of bringing the roadster back to The U.S., but don t go fetch the tool box. You ll not need it.
If you want to get your hands dirty and make your car zip around better, try Keith Tanner s Miata MX-5 Performance Projects.
Then get the tools out.
