If I received a warning of piracy as soon as Mazda Toolbox was paired with the card, then it would be a different story. They should have been more prudent to secure their intellectual property.

I'm well past the return window for the card, and they want me to go pay full price for a replacement card, and I have to give them info that they want? It's not a fair exchange at all. I bought the card for the sole purpose of turning on the traffic sign recognition system, which IMHO shouldn't be tied to having factory navigation. Will I be cooperating with Naviextras (not Mazda)? No.

After it paired with the car after x miles driven, I was able to do a map update with Mazda Toolbox.

I'm not super worried about it, but I probably won't be doing any more updates with this SD card and Mazda Toolbox. Figured it wouldn't hurt to do an update on the card with Mazda Toolbox. However, if you've got a stock Miata in the garage just itching to clear its throat, there are far less charismatic ways to bring an inline-four up to speed.Purchased a "cheap" navi SD card on eBay for my 2021 CX-5 to enable the road sign recognition feature. It appears that Hummelink are working on a bespoke ITB kit for early Miatas as well, which won't require sourcing 4AGE ITBs and adapting them to the engine, but costs major coin relative to the cost of a nice NA Miata. The ITBs were borrowed from Toyota's 4AGE inline-four ( another engine that produces no power and a MONSTER soundtrack), and mated to the head via an adapter plate sold by Hummelink-modifications. You could put the video on blindfolded and get the gist here, but it helps that this minute-long teaser is shot like a Michael Mann chase sequence.Īccording to the build specs on YouTube, this engine makes 172 horses from 1.6 liters at an 11.3:1 compression ratio. This promo video from Hummelink-modifications, a Dutch tuning company, shows exactly why. However, if you've got a pile of cash hoarding space in a coat closet somewhere, don't care much about making power, but want the best-sounding Miata you've ever heard: ITBs are the answer. If you're looking to solve for the Miata's dearth of power, maybe we can point you to a turbo kit from our good friends at Flyin' Miata.

Plus there's just enough grunt to break the car loose on rainy days or adjust the car's attitude on-throttle, so long as you keep the revs up.
We've always forgiven the meek power because Miata mills proved reliable and easily serviceable, even by hack mechanics like myself. It's certainly not the MX-5's centerpiece, a vehicle that puts tidy packaging, blissful handling, and classic roadster aesthetics at the fore.īut I've always thought, despite making very little power, the NA Miata's 1.6- and 1.8-liter inline-fours sound good. Maybe it never really deserved any, either. The Miata's tiny engine never gets much credit.
