    Stock System Review - ND Miata Intake, Part 1

    If you read our blog, you'll remember a short while ago that we did a quick dyno test on a brand-new, fully stock 2016 Miata ND. That's not all we had planned for this little roadster. We put our Engineers to work on upgraded intake. Take a look behind the scenes and follow our progress as we bring our intake design to life.

    Some exciting things are happening at Mishimoto.

    We have a brand new 2016 ND Miata in for Product Development and wanted to give you a quick look into what's to come.

    One important part of any testing is to get a proper baseline. For this project, that meant hooking up the car to the dyno and seeing how much power it would make. Since this is a brand new car, and the first ND many of us had seen in person, we decided to capture the occasion on video and share it with the community.
