The race tune for this Mazda Miata was pretty good, and surprisingly this drift version is just as good. I would of thought a car with such little power wouldn’t be so fun, but it is. It is just enough to get around the corner, but not too much to cause any major problems. I was able to make short, medium, and long drifts without any issues. I think it has to do a lot with its low weight. The power isn’t much, but it is for such a small and low weight car. Also, there are a million MX-5 versions, but I assume this tune should work for all of them. At least any model with pop up headlights. The newer models are a bit heavier and have more power, so I can not say for sure how well this tune will work for them. Finally, you may have noticed that my car in the picture has stripes. When you paint the older MX-5 cars they sometimes have different stripe designs. Each version has a different type, which is pretty cool.
