2 Flyin` Miata

about FM
who is Flyin' Miata?
Way back in 1983, Bill Cardell opened up The Dealer Alternative as a Porsche/Audi/VW service shop. In 1989 a customer
tossed him the keys to a brand new Miata and you can imagine what happened. Soon after, Bill had a Miata of his own
and had turbocharged it. It wasn't long before he started testing and selling products to like-minded Miata enthusiasts.
He started selling parts online and was the first sponsor of a little website called miata.net. In 1996, Bill sold the shop
and moved to Colorado to focus on Miata performance full-time. His line of "Flyin' Miata" performance parts had become
better known than The Dealer Alternative, so in 2000 the name of the company was changed.
By now, Flyin' Miata has grown to 10 employees. That poor 1990 is still one of our main development cars (it's the red
car on page 29), but it's been joined by nearly a dozen others that range from nearly-stock to hugely modified racetrack
beasts. We use these to develop and test all sorts of parts from suspension to superchargers. We don't like selling
something unless we've tried it outselves and in many cases, we've found we can build better parts than ones already
available. We also have a narrow focus - Miata performance and nothing else. This lets us do the best job we can.
When you give us a call or send us an email, here are the folks who will take care of you. We hope to hear from you soon!
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 has a habit of putting
turbochargers on just about anything
he owns. Good thing he doesn't have a
lawnmower.
Jeremy Ferber is an ECU tuning guru.
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.
Teri Cardell keeps everyone at FM in line
and handles sales. She likes to embarass
the boys on the racetrack. Around here,
"you drive like a girl" is a compliment.
Keith Tanner is our graphic designer, web
weenie and one of our techs. If you're
online in Miata world, you've probably
been in touch with him. He owns two cars
that weigh under 1500 lbs and one that is
over 4500.
Mark Wingerter is probably the first person
you'll talk to when you call FM. The other
employees have decided not to let him have
forced induction, he's fast enough already.
When he's not driving he's probably hanging
from a frozen waterfall somewhere.
Deb McGlynn is one of our office
managers 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".
Jon Hansen spends all of his time working
on Miatas. He's our resident mechanic with
20 years experience working on just about
anything. He figures that in another 20, he
should know what he's doing.
Heather Gavry works in shipping with
James, making sure that everything
travels safe and sound. When she drives
her Honda S2000 to work we make her
park in the back.
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.
Bill Johnson keeps the building running
and helps the techs find the thousands
of odd bits and pieces stashed around
the shop. He's also a founder of the local
Miata club with his black 1999 and is
known for his quality duets with Jon.
Turbodog is the FM mascot and the fastest
Miata fan around. If you come out to visit us,
get ready to spend some time throwing balls
for him.

Flyin' Miata
competition report
Flyin' Miata and the Superfour Challenge
Every few years, Car and Driver magazine holds a competition called the Superfour Challenge. They invite the best fourcylinder tuners and tell them to bring their fastest street car. We took part in 2003 with "Elvis" (on the cover of this catalog)
and were invited back this year. While the competition is for street cars, most of the cars that show up aren't really
intended for the street. We feel differently. We decided to bring a fast car that was suitable for a cross-country drive - and
what better way to prove it than to drive from Colorado to Michigan for the event with another Miata for a support vehicle?
The car was our interpretation of the ultimate street Miata. We started with our 2004 Mazdaspeed MX5 and started pulling
out parts. The stock engine was bored and stroked to 1995cc while the head was ported and polished. The turbo system
was replaced by an FM II with a Garrett GT3071R turbocharger and a custom 3" exhaust system. A Hydra Nemesis was
installed along with JIC Magic FLT-A2 shocks and springs, FM sways and some massive 245/45-16 Bridgestone tires
mounted on SSR Competition wheels. Our four-wheel big brake kit was bolted on and equipped with some carefully
chosen pads. We also made a few small aerodynamic tweaks. This powertrain produced 323 hp at the rear wheels on the
first dyno pull. We estimate it was at 350 on the 93 octane pump gas we were allowed to run at the event. Track testing
showed the car could lap a local racetrack on street tires much faster than a Spec Miata on race rubber.
The competition itself consisted of a day of street driving followed by the instrumented testing. On the street, the testers
appreciated the civil ride and the air conditioning in the brutal Michigan heat wave. They were also impressed that we
had the only serious competitor that had driven to the event under its own power. We were also the only car to score full
points in driveability and actually complete the event.
The track test consisted of a standing start with an instrumented 1/4 mile and 0-60 time, then into a road course in the
infield. This exited out on to the oval where the cars had to accelerate up to 140 mph (225 kmh) and come to a stop. It's
a taxing test that rewards a car with well-rounded abilities. While we didn't win, we did manage to go through the road
course faster than a 400 hp Lotus Elise, accelerate from 100 to 140 mph in under 12 seconds and come to a full stop
from 140 mph in 608 feet. The car was consistent enough and easy enough to drive that the first three runs only varied by
only 0.2 seconds despite the fact that the driver had never seen it before. All this for a car that cost less than the list price
on a stock Elise.
The icing on the cake was the trip home. 1500 miles in two days with only one driver - and an average 34 mpg at over 70
mph. We're now driving the car daily. It might not be the fastest tuner car in the US, but it's possibly the fastest one that's
used to get groceries!

forced induction
about Flyin’ Miata forced induction
We’ve been working on forced induction in Miatas for a long, long
time. Our first Miata was turbocharged with a mere 1800 miles
on the odometer, way back in 1990. Since then, the cars have
become faster, more reliable and much smoother to drive.
We have recently decided to design new turbocharger and
supercharger systems from scratch. We’re taking our 15 years of
experience in Miatas and combining them with the latest design
and manufacturing techniques. Unfortunately, this means we
can’t give you the full details in this catalog as they were not
available at the time of printing. You can see all the latest details
on our website at www.flyinmiata.com.
Our first Miata, still running strong 16 years later
We can tell you some things, though.
All parts will be manufactured on computer-controlled equipment. While hand fabricated parts
work well for experimentation, they don't give the consistency of fit and performance that we
demand. Our new parts are designed with 3D modelling programs, turned into rapid prototypes
for test fitting and then produced with CNC equipment. It's not as easy as simply welding pipes
together but the accuracy, quality of finish and control over flow make it worthwhile.
The new kits will continue to benefit from our expertise in engine management. Years of testing
on the road, the track and our dyno have helped us develop solutions that either work smoothly
with the stock engine computer or provide a powerful replacement. Lower boost kits use items
like our Voodoo Box while the higher power kits come with full computers such as our wellhoned Link or the highly-capable Hydra Nemesis. For emissions-sensitive applications we have
a piggyback fuel and timing controller that provides a good middle ground of complexity and
performance.
All our kits are developed with the help of our
own Rototest chassis dynamometer. This allows
us to not only accurately measure power output, but also to torture-test
everything from cooling systems to exhaust manifolds.
Some other aspects of the car should be upgraded when you increase
the power to this extent. The factory clutch will need to be replaced and
the exhaust system should be replaced with one of our free-flowing
setups. Other items to consider upgrading are the brake system, cooling
system and suspension components. Again, please call us to discuss
the merits of various upgrades.
The most important ingredient of all is our support. We have more
experience in forced induction Miatas than anyone else in the world.
When you call us with a question, you may very well be talking to the
person who designed the parts. There’s no substitute for that sort of
knowledge.
The most difficult part is deciding which kit is best for you. Supercharged
and turbocharged Miatas deliver their power differently and the best
system for one driver might be completely different than the ideal setup
for someone else. Give us a call and we’ll help walk you through the
decision process.
There’s a lot that goes into a good forced
induction kit. Here’s an example of what is
included in the FM II turbo system. We could
make them simpler, but we couldn’t make
them any more complete.

Flyin' Miata
Modern hotrodding no longer involves messing with carburetors or playing with distributor advance curves. Now, it's done
with computers and Miatas are no different. It’s probably fair to say that we have more experience with Miata engine
management than any other Miata vendor.
The most important thing to consider when buying some sort of engine management is the support. The most powerful
computer in the world is useless if it isn't tuned correctly. This is where Flyin' Miata comes in. We first started playing with
Miata engine management over a decade ago. All our solutions come with default settings that were developed on our
dyno with highly accurate sensors as well as on-road and track testing. Once installed in your car, you generally have only
a few changes to make to adapt the programming for your own setup, fuel grades and altitude. Of course we’re available
to help you out. Not many people will help tune a car via email, but we do it all the time.
We use three different techniques to ensure turbocharged or supercharged cars behave themselves. Two of them retain
the stock ECU. The advantage to this is that the factory cold start, idle and emissions tuning are untouched.
The simplest is our Voodoo Box and timing wheel. We use these on cars that have extra headroom available in the
factory fuel injection system. It’s easy to install and set up and causes no difficulty with emissions tests. The downside is
that it is limited by the unused capacity in the stock fuel system.
For more precise fuel and timing management, the next step is the Link piggyback system. The stock ECU takes care of
everything when the car is not operating in boost. Under boost, the piggyback uses four auxiliary injectors to provide the
fuel the system needs based on a 3D fuel map. It also retards the ignition timing based on another 3D map. This gives
better spoolup and more torque down low than a fixed timing retard. Again, emissions tests are unaffected. The limits of
this system are fairly high, but eventually more accuracy is required.
The ultimate solution for power and driveability is a full replacement ECU, often known as a standalone. The stock unit
is removed and a programmable one is put in its place. This gives full control over fuel and timing with a high degree
of precision, so the car can be tuned for more power without sacrificing safety. The new ECU can also control boost on
turbocharged cars and add a knock sensor to those that never had one. It’s possible to make the car run more smoothly
than on the factory computer if tuned well. This is the technique we use on our top-end kits. The downside? They’re more
complex to set up and will not pass emissions tests that involve plugging a scanner into the ECU. They can still pass a
tailpipe “sniffer” test if tuned properly though.
Which is best for you? Give us a call and we’ll be pleased to help you decide.

Data Log Lab
The best program we’ve ever seen for dealing with a standalone ECU.
Data Log Lab was originally written for Flyin’ Miata’s own Link ECU and
has since been expanded for a wide variety of applications. A graphical
display of all engine parameters in a datalog make it invaluable in
extracting the most from any system and for hunting down little problems.
It will even measure horsepower based on your rate of acceleration! One
of the most powerful tuning tools available. You can easily share DLL
files with us or other users to allow your car to be tuned remotely. Not
compatible with stock ECUs.
For the Link, it’s also a two-way system that allows you to view your fuel
and timing maps in a 3D table, make changes to the ECU maps and
upload them. Free 30 day trial available at www.flyinmiata.com.

Hydra Nemesis

the Hydra Nemesis
The Hydra Nemesis is the latest addition to our standalone ECUs. For
1999-05 owners, the Hydra is a long-awaited solution. It’s what we use
in our high-end turbocharger and supercharger kits for those cars.
It’s a very versatile unit with a number of user-programmable inputs
and outputs based on both 2D and 3D maps. What does this mean?
Well, let’s say you wanted to lower your intake temperatures. You can
program the ECU so that if the air intake temperature goes above 40C
and an arming switch is on, it fires an intercooler spray. It’s really up to
your imagination. Launch control is built in, as is the capability for staged
injectors and anti-lag. Individual 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 later alternators and Variable Valve Timing
(VVT). If there’s a problem such as a lack of fuel or knock, it will use the
Check Engine light to let you know. It even automatically datalogs every
time the car is run.
Since the Hydra can run staged injectors, it's an easy upgrade for 199905 Miatas equipped with the FM I and FM II turbosystems that use the
Link Piggyback. The Hydra can take over control of both the stock and
auxiliary injectors and no new ones are required.
Installation is a simple plug-in. The Hydra uses the stock sensors
or it can be configured to use specialized sensors from other cars.
A wideband O2 sensor is an option to give you full fuel autotuning.
Electronic boost control is available with a boost control solenoid.
Datalogs can be analyzed either with Hydra’s own software or the
excellent Data Log Lab. It is not yet available for the 1990-97 cars, but it
will be soon.
Every harness is checked for accuracy and the ECU is loaded with
an appropriate default map for your application before the Nemesis is
shipped.
Flyin’ Miata is the exclusive distributor for the Miata version of the Hydra
Nemesis in North America. If you are outside our area, you will have
to deal with the distributor for your country. Further information may be

Flyin' Miata
Simple. Once you plug it into your stock wiring harness (a couple of
small modifications are required on some years), you'll discover the
Link ECU runs software that was written exclusively for Flyin' Miata and
designed to run FM turbos and superchargers. Not a generic "fits all
cars" setup, this is tailored to the Miata engine. The operating system of
the ECU is the result of years of fine-tuning. It’s what we use to run our
most powerful turbo and supercharger setups for the 1990-97 models
as well as some of our own powerful naturally aspirated cars making
over 100 hp/liter.
What does this mean? It means we literally know the software inside
and out so we can offer unmatched technical support. The interface
has been designed to be easy to use so you will be up and running in
a short time. We've also included a number of protection mechanisms
to keep your engine safe in extreme conditions. For example, if your
engine coolant or air temperature gets over a safe limit, the ECU will impose a fuel cut on high-load operation to prevent
damage.
Programming can be done either from the small keypad (included) or via Data Log Lab running on a laptop. To make your
job easier, the ECU autotunes itself to match your particular setup. There are even datalogging programs available for
PocketPC handhelds. Once the system is set up, you simply drive the car.
Includes programming keypad and intake temperature sensor. A four wire oxygen sensor (06-99000) is recommended for
1990-93 cars.

Pre-programmed with default fuel and timing tables developed on the dyno and the road.
No laptop required, keypad included. Laptop is necessary for datalogging.
Autotune feature for fuel.
Link piggyback computer
The Link piggyback is a good compromise between the power and
complexity of a full standalone and the easy-to-use Voodoo Box. We
use it in some of our turbo kits where emissions requirements prohibit
the use of a standalone.
The piggyback uses up to four auxiliary injectors to add fuel when
needed under boost while the stock ECU is left to control the stock
injectors. The transition is seamless because the piggyback uses a
sophisticated 3D map to decide how much fuel to add. The unit can also
retard the timing for safe running under boost while leaving the stock
timing for lower emissions and faster spoolup out of boost.
Unlike the 1990-97 ECU, this will not benefit a naturally aspirated
car. Programming keypad included. Extremely easy to set up. No
datalogging capability. We do recommend our O2 signal modifier along
with the piggyback for best driveability.

Link adaptor board
This adaptor allows you to build a wiring harness that will plug
into any 1990-2000 Miata. It’s ideal for installing an aftermarket
ECU without cutting any wires - although you won't need it for
our plug-in Link and Hydra computers. The board has holes for
strain relief in the wires and an insulator on the bottom to prevent
accidental short circuits. Soldering required.

FM O2 signal modifier
A stock ECU can pull up to 25% of its fuel if it thinks the engine is running rich - such as a boosted car. The actual
amount depends on the model of car. 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. Simple installation and no effects when the car is not generating boost. A popular addition to cars
equipped with Powercard fuel management because this solves a characteristic lean mixture at part throttle.
Included with our turbo kits that use the Link piggyback. Intended for use only with stock ECU. Not required for cars with
full replacement ECUs such as our full Link or Hydra or with cars equipped with our Voodoo Box.

Flyin' Miata
electrical bits
the Voodoo Box
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 don’t get much easier than that.
It’s limited by the size of the stock injectors, but the 1999-05 cars have
lots of unused capacity. The 1990-97 cars can’t handle quite as much
boost, but there’s still enough room to run 6 psi or so, depending on
the system. Unlike a similar device on the market, we designed this to
be 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 you’re making boost at partial throttle.
This is safer for your engine and makes for a smoother drive. Simple

Randall cowl intake duct
Really “cool” product. This replaces the snorkel from your stock airbox with a
100% carbon fibre tube that gets cool air from the high pressure area in front of the
windshield. Because it always takes air from outside the engine bay, it’s much more
effective than a simple filter attached to a tube on a naturally aspirated car. We’ve
measured a 5 hp increase on our dyno. On the street, the difference between this
and other intakes will be even greater as the other designs battle with underhood
heat.
Installation involves cutting a hole in your firewall (1.25” holesaw required, not

Flyin' Miata
The Miata engine is a strong little unit from the factory. It’s not the highest performance
engine in stock form but it takes extremely well to boost. Of course, anything can be
improved. At Flyin’ Miata, we’ve been working for years to make it stronger, faster, lighter
- the super 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, they’re also stronger. 1999-05 engines in
particular benefit from a built-up bottom end. If you’re 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, intake
manifolds 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 finetune 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. We’ll help advise you on the best
way to attain your goals. Or, for the ultimate solution, we can build an
engine for you. We’ve put together engines for everyone from stockclass racers in national-level competition 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 you’re 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. You can use
the handy engine quote calculator on our website or give us a call to discuss your needs. Here are some sample prices:

FM stroker kit
For the Miata that has almost everything, we have the Stroker.
There’s no replacement for displacement. A bigger engine makes
more torque, more power and can spool up a bigger turbo. We cut
apart a stock block to find out just how much capacity we could fit
inside. We were able to squeeze a 4 mm stroke without the need
for modifying the block. The billet crank is custom made to high
standards. Moly coated exotic pistons and custom rods allowed us
to keep the same rod ratio as a stock 1.8 so the car would still love
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.
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. Includes new Carrillo rods
and 9:1 Wiseco pistons that maintain the stock rod ratio. 11:1 high
compression pistons are also available.

Wiseco pistons
Wiseco pistons are widely recognized as some of the finest performance
pistons in the world. Forged for high strength, they’re perfect for extreme
use such as high boost operation. Moly coated for longevity and low friction.
Combined with Carrillo rods, they weigh 1/4 lb per cylinder less than stock
for less internal stress and quicker engine response. Pistons are available
in 1mm overbore with 9:1 compression ratio for turbo applications or 2 mm
overbore with 11:1 compression for naturally aspirated. Includes rings and
tapered wrist pins. Sold in sets of four. Forged pistons will be slightly noisier
than stock when cold.

Flyin' Miata
Good rods are important. Carrillo is world renowned for their super high quality connecting rods and are the first choice of
racers everywhere. If you’re planning on running extended high rpm or high boost beyond our basic kit recommendations,
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.
H beam rods
At 440g, they’re almost 100g less than stock but extremely strong.
Almost too beautiful to put inside a motor! 20% stronger than the A beam
and suitable for the most extreme Miata engines in existence.

stainless steel valves
More flow equals more power! That’s 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. 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.

valve spring 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. The titanium retainer’s light weight means there’s 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 you’re 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
retainers from a 1990-93 or 1999-05 engine (not included).

1.8 conversions
1.8 conversion pieces
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.
More complete information can be found in the Mazda Miata
Performance Projects book, but here's the really short version:
Remove your old engine. Transfer your oil pressure sender and
thermostat housing over to the 1.8. At this point, you’re also in an
excellent position to do a timing belt change. If you have a later 1.6 with
the long nose crank, transfer your crank pulley and water pump pulley
over as well. If you can’t do this, you will need the alternator from a
1994-97. Do not use one from a 1999 or later car. The stud on the 1.8
alternator is a little larger so you’ll also have to enlarge the hole in the
ring connector to attach it.
Mount the 1.6 throttle body to the 1.8 manifold and mount the coils to
the back of the 1.8 head. Extend the wiring for the cam angle sensor.
Install the new throttle body bracket. Block off the EGR fitting. Reinstall
the new engine using the 1.8 motor mounts and attach the exhaust.
What else will you need?
1.8 engine with intake manifold
1.8 exhaust manifold or header
1.8 catalytic converter
1.8 injectors
1.8 alternator (for 1990-91 cars)
What do you reuse?

We continue to work on extracting more power from the Mazdaspeed MX-5. Although not listed here, we found the Hydra
Nemesis ECU (page 6) to be an excellent upgrade for these cars. Please check our website for the latest update. The
most recent dyno run on our car showed 265 hp at the rear wheels - 115 more than stock!
FM MSM exhaust
As with our other exhausts, this is stainless steel from end to end. It
gives the mute MSM a deep voice that’s not too loud. The adjustable tip
ensures a perfect fit. The design looks a little unusual, but it’s both more
powerful and easier to build than a traditional setup. The muffler is built
specifically for this application. Lifetime warrantee.
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!

FM MSM downpipe
Considered a “must-have” by MSM enthusiasts, this downpipe replaces

cool stuff
Flyin’ Miata twincooler
To get the maximum effectiveness from an oil cooler, it needs lots of air.
So we designed a radiator with an oil cooler built in! The water side is
based on our race radiator with the same efficient dual core design and
all-aluminum construction. On the right side is a dual-pass oil cooler. The
extra cooling capacity from the extra cooler makes up for the small loss
in radiator area. The large AN-8 fittings mean there is lots of flow to keep
your engine properly lubricated. The cooler can either be connected to
our remote oil filter kit or to an optional thermostat for quicker warm-up.
Compatible with factory fans or our high flow units.

cooling tech
There are a couple of things you can do to improve the cooling of any car. First, make sure that all the air available is
going through the radiator and intercooler. Some simple ducting in the nose of the car can make a drastic difference.
Second, don't run any more antifreeze than you need for actual freeze protection. Water is better at cooling engines.
We typically run about 30% antifreeze here in western Colorado. Another good option for cars in warm climate is Water
Wetter.
We're also experimenting with different options for cooling high-horsepower cars. The most recent details may be found
on our website or you can give us a call.

The best clutches on the market. We don’t like clutches that are difficult to drive, so we paired a stronger pressure plate
with an organic disc for high power capability with a smooth engagement. We offer two levels of clamping force, Heavy
Duty and Extreme. The Extreme can handle more torque, but has a heavier pedal pressure. For extra torque-handling
capability, a 1.8 clutch can be installed on a 1.6 car if a 1.8 flywheel is used. We recommend the Extreme pressure plate
for cars with forced induction and built motors.
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 transmission is removed. Heavier pressure plates put more stress on your clutch
hydraulic system, so it's a good idea to replace the slave cylinder and possibly install a stainless steel clutch hose as well.
This is particularly true of the Extreme.

Great sound, classic looks and solid construction - there's a reason
Flyin' Miata exhausts are so popular. They’re not the cheapest on the
market, but nobody else pays the same attention to detail. They even
come with a limited lifetime warranty for the original buyer. 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 by Thermal R&D out of 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror
finish. Even the flanges are polished stainless! All tubes are mandrelbent 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 you’ll never have to buy another exhaust for your Miata!
Flyin’ Miata dual exhausts have been the ultimate exhaust system for
Miata enthusiasts for over a decade. The twin tips give your Miata some
visual attitude and provide a stereo sound. The extra tip is well braced to
avoid the cracking that can happen at this spot. A hole has to be cut in
the bumper to accomodate the new tip but our stick-on template makes
it simple to get this right the first time.
1990-97 cars have an exhaust system that consists of a header, a
catalytic converter and a “cat-back” section with the muffler. The 1999-05
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 they’re 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. They’re made of 2.5" (64mm) tubing for high flow. Naturally aspirated and supercharged cars
should use a normal exhaust with more sound deadening and a 2.25" (57mm) diameter. Putting a turbo exhaust on a
non-turbo might sound like a cool idea, but it’s too loud. If you call and ask us, we’ll say the same thing.

Flyin' Miata catalytic converter
Free flowing for better performance yet $300 less than stock! That’s hard to ignore. The
low backpressure means turbo cars in particular will benefit with more power and quicker
spoolup. The same stainless steel flanges used on our exhausts are also used on the
cats. This converter is a bit louder than an OEM converter. Limited warranty. Shown
here with Wacko, another free flow cat (not included). 1990-95 version is approved for
California use. 1999 and later cars have the catalytic converter integrated into the front
pipe.

So what about the 2006 MX5?
Ah, the 2006. A big leap ahead for the Miata. How many of our 1990-05
parts will fit? That's easy. None.
We've heard that the only part that is shared on the new car is the
side marker light for European models. So far we've seen nothing that
contradicts this information. Outside of lubricants, we're dealing with a
whole new range of parts. You can assume that nothing in this catalog
will fit the new car unless specified otherwise.
We have our own MX5 for development. We'll run it on the dyno, the
street and the track. We've supported a couple of them during a 25-hour
race. The poor thing will be subjected to all sorts of abuse. This will let
us work out the weak points of the car so we can address them. We
don't know exactly what they'll be yet.
We have some ideas of course. At the time of printing we had begun
work on a new exhaust system, springs and already had a JIC coilover
setup. From seeing how it was used in other cars, we know the engine
responds very well to naturally aspirated modifications. It's quite
possible the 2006 section of our next catalog could look quite different
than the current one. We'll know more soon enough.

Flyin' Miata
These brakes are like hitting a brick wall - only you can do it over and over
again. Big brakes will absorb continuous punishment lap after lap without fade.
They’re easier to modulate. As a bonus, they also look great.
We put two piece 11"/280mm slotted rotors front and back for maximum
heat capacity. The floating design of the rotors means they are free to
expand from heat without stress or dimensional instability. They’re also 1.3
lbs lighter than single-piece rotors of similar size. In the front, we wrapped
a set of forged four-piston Wilwood calipers around the rotors and used
the factory caliper in the rear to retain the emergency brake. Performance
pads, stainless steel lines and powdercoated CNC aluminum brackets make
it all work. We even include high-performance brake fluid! Lighter than stock
1.8 brakes. Requires 15" or larger wheels - please call for fitment advice. For
all Miatas.

Everything you need to make a good handling car into a
great handling car! We’ve tested these setups on the track
and lived with them on the street to ensure that everything
works together without any guesswork on your part. FM
suspension parts are the benchmark by which others are
measured.
Our suspension kits are also available with Ground Control
coilover springs instead of FM springs for those who want
more adjustability and the ability to cornerweight the car.
The cost is $161 to upgrade any kit. Also available with the
Tokico Illumina shockfor an extra charge of $64 for 1990-97
models or $84 for 1999-05.

Flyin' Miata performance sway bars
Upgraded sway bars are one of the best ways to improve your Miata's
handling. 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. We've
designed them to keep the same handling balance as your stock sways, but they have two settings in the front and three
in the rear for fine-tuning. Includes brackets and urethane bushings with waterproof grease. 1990-93 sizes are 7/8" front
and 5/8" rear. 1994-05 sizes are 1" front and 5/8" rear.

Flyin' Miata rear shock mounts
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 by 1.25"/32mm without affecting ride height. 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. 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.

Flyin' Miata
They’re not cheap, but they’re Magic.
We put a set of these coilovers on our Mazdaspeed before sending it to
Car and Driver. Their report? They thought it rode better than the stock
suspension. It also managed to handle well enough to beat a modified
Lotus Elise through a road course. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Suitable for street or track use. Available for the 2006 MX5.
15-way adjustment for damping. Pillowball upper mounts with spherical
bearings for precise damping. The superior monotube design gives
better control and lighter weight than twin-tube designs and with no
chance of the shock oil foaming. Can be adjusted for ride height without
affecting spring preload, giving full suspension travel regardless of
ride height. 9kg (504 lb) front and 8 kg (448 lb) rear spring rates might
sound unliveable for the street, but the quality of the damping makes it
comfortable enough to drive 800 miles in a day. We know, we’ve done
it. These rates mean you will need less rear bar than with our other
suspension kits.

Flyin' Miata springs
A refinement of our popular design. Our springs have rates of 318 lb./
inch front and 233 lb./inch rear in order to provide high-quality handling
without a killer ride. We've also raised the ride height from our original
setup slightly to give the suspension more room to work.
How much will they lower your car? If measured from the center of the
wheel to the fender lip, your car will end up 13" (330mm) in the front and
13.25"(336mm) in the rear. Set of four. Not recommended with stock
shocks due to lack of damping.

make it stick
wheels and tires
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'll end up with a
Miata that has lost its sense of fun. That's where we come in.
Flyin’ Miata is a Toyo and Tire Rack dealer and can provide just about
any wheel and tire you might want. Why buy from us? Because we can
suggest combinations that others say don’t fit. We managed to put a set
of massive 245-series tires under our Mazdaspeed for the Superfour
Challenge - you can see a test-fit at right.
You can give us a call and we’ll help you pick out what suits you best.
We also have a series of packages available on our website for everything from inexpensive, long-lived setups to killer
track combos. Here are some examples. We can supply just about anything you could need though.
the trackday classic
You'll see this on a lot of Miatas at the track. The SSR Competition looks great (it's at the upper right) and is both light
and strong. The Toyo RA1 is a sticky R compound tire that lasts an extraordinarily long time and has a nice progressive
breakaway. Some people even run this setup on the street. Starting at $1780.
Elvis
Elvis is our pretty 2002 with a lot of horsepower - over 350 at last count. You can see it on the front cover. We wanted a
light wheel with a sticky tire but without spending much money. This led us to the Kosei K1 Racing and the Kumho Ecsta
MX. In a 15" size, the weight is 32.5 lbs and the cost is only $756.
Janel's wheels
Janel is a friend of ours who likes her cute little blue Miata (you can see it on the back cover) and enjoys her supercharger.
Most of her driving is on the street and she has been on the track a few times. She wanted a wheel/tire combination that
was stylish without giving up performance or affordability. We went to OZ for their light Superleggera and Kumho for their
affordable and long-lived Ecsta 712. It's not the fastest setup around, but it's forgiving on the track and has a good lifespan.
Janel loves them. 29.5 lbs in a 15" size for $848.
Super Pro suspension bushing kit
Other bushing kits use the same material for all parts, but Mazda didn't.
So Super Pro bushings have different durometers depending on the

make it stiff
the butterfly brace
We’re proud of these and they're exclusive to us! We started with two
stainless steel rails bolted over top of the factory rails - they're shown
at right. 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. Highstrength stainless fasteners avoid any rust problems in the future. Weight
is 13 lbs. Intended for 1990-02 Miatas although they can be adapted for
cars with the Sport bracing.
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 on. The center section is adjustable
to clear exhaust systems of different sizes and designs and can be
removed easily for full access to the transmission tunnel. With most
exhausts, ground clearance is not affected. The fuel and brake lines
are protected by the braces and the whole assembly is strong enough
that it will not be damaged by impacts with the ground. Weight is 15 lbs,
all below the center of gravity and between the wheels. Not intended
for cars with the 2001-02 Sport bracing or the 2003-05 models. A car
equipped with the frame rails can be upgraded to the full butterfly setup
later if desired.

FM Cannon rear subframe brace
This brace was designed when Skip Cannon bought an aftermarket
unit for his 1992. A number of design flaws were immediately apparent,
so he decided to do better. The Cannon brace is CNC machined out
of 1/4"/6mm aluminum and powdercoated black so it’s both stiff and
rustproof. A removeable section means it doesn't require exhaust
removal. 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.

Hard Dog roll bars
Keep the pavement off your head! Although nobody plans on rolling a Miata, it's best to be safe - especially when you're
dealing with cars capable of the sort of performance as a Flyin' Miata. Hard Dog is the leader in Miata roll bars, offering a
wide range of choices to suit all needs. It can be confusing, but if you give us a call we can explain all the various options
and help you choose the bar that is best for you.
All bars are available in black powdercoat or polished stainless steel.
Hard Dog Hard Core
Heavy gauge 1.75"/45mm diameter tubing designed to meet SCCA
Solo 1 requirements. For full Solo 1 legality, the driver's helmet must
be 1"/25mm below the top of the bar. Diagonal brace and harness
attachment points are included. This bar sits 1.25"/32mm higher than
the Sport bar and it does not allow the use of stock hardtop side latches.
There is also a bit of seat travel restriction. The M1 version comes with
a harness bar while the M2 is produced with harness tabs to allow the
factory glass window to be used. The M2 version will fit any Miata but is
not compatible with aftermarket glass windows. Polished stainless steel
versions start at $855. Shipping is $65 in the continental US.

Willans racing harnesses
Willans makes some of the finest racing harnesses in the world and are
the choice of many Formula 1 teams. They are more expensive but come
with a 5 year rating for longer life and many racers swear by their soft
webbing and quality hardware.
All harnesses use Camlock buckles for quick installation and removal
and come with all mounting hardware. Full use of your stock seat belt
can be retained. Available in blue, red or black. Harnesses come in
2"/50mm or 3"/75mm widths and extra padding is available. One harness
and one sub belt will make a six-point harness for one seat, which we
recommend for comfort and safety. Specify year of car and color of
harness when ordering. A rollbar is required for a harness in any Miata
for safety.

FM extraction hood
Developed for our race car over two years and tested under punishing conditions, this hood was
shaped by the wind. The scoops are placed at the point of lowest exterior pressure on the hood
to maximize extraction of hot, high pressure underhood air and promote flow through the radiator
and intercooler. There is a small lip ahead of the vent to make it even more efficient. Compatible
with all our turbo systems and our shock tower brace, the hood will bolt directly in place of your
stock hood and installs in minutes. Made of fibreglass and 1 lb lighter than the factory part. Grey
gelcoat, painting required. Shipped by truck.

Racing Beat type 2 body kit
We don't go for the latest styling trend for body kits. We prefer a kit that
works with the original lines of the car. Racing Beat did a great job of
their Type 2 design. It's made of thick fibreglass and fits extremely well,
although it will likely need some minor finishing before painting.

AWR widebody kit
Need some big tires to hold down big power? Here's the answer. Designed to cover the fat slicks used in E Production,
these flares will extend your body by 4"/100mm at the rear and 3"/75mm in the front. It also adds a fantastic muscular
look to a little car. Thick enough for use on a street car. The flares come as 8 individual pieces - the main flares and small
bumper extensions. They will need to be bonded to the car by a body shop. Since the stock front fenders are retained,
this body modification is legal for SM2 autocross class. Available for stock or Racing Beat bumpers (shown below) as well
as for 1999-05 cars.

Redline
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.
Redline MTL synthetic gear 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. What does this mean for your Miata? Easy, light shifting in all weather with
smooth gear engagement. The fluid even lasts for years. Two quarts required unless
the shift turret oil is also changed, then three quarts are required. Change every 30k
miles/50k km.
One quart

Redline Differential gear 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.

Redline Synthetic motor oil
Full synthetic oil. Thinner at low temperatures; holds viscosity better at higher temperatures than petroleum based oils.
This is what we use in every car we drive, whether it’s 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.

Flyin' Miata oil filter relocation kit
Finally, an oil filter relocation kit that can wear the Flyin' Miata name.
After all, your engine survives on oil flow. Our exclusive design uses AN8 fittings and stainless steel braided lines for maximum flow and long
life. Everthing else is made of billet aluminum for a consistent, quality
fit. We put a backing plate on the oil filter mount for a solid connection
and used rubber isolators (not shown in picture) to prevent any noise
from the oil flow. There is a fitting on the side to supply oil to a turbo or
oil pressure gauge. For Miatas without ABS.

timing 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!

crank seal install tool
If the front crank seal is not installed straight, you have to take the
timing belt off again to fix it. We designed this simple tool to make the
job foolproof. Available for 1990-91 and 1991-05 crank noses. A great
addition to a club toolbox.
