Resurrecting an old thread keeps all the relevant info together. No problem.

As for the Miata & Probe not getting good mileage, it has to do with short final drive gears I think. I drove a friends 2008 Miata (current bodystyle), and the gearing for sixth gear on the highway was over 3000 rpm. Get a much taller final drive in there, and get that down to 2000 rpm and get some aeromods going! The probe is the same way, at least the 92-97. I had a 94, and the V6 was geared pretty short. Don't remember the specific numbers though.
