So, Rtc. Let me start to straighten things out for you.
You don't need to be a "track day bro" to enjoy performance enhancing mods to your car. I don't mean racing. But you can enjoy crisper handling, better braking, a firm clutch, and peace of mind.
Upgrades are most often done by street tuners to bring out the best their car has to offer. After all, if it was perfect from the factory, it would cost a lot more. And with age? It's important to do things right. You want to have the utmost confidence in your cars performance, in all situations. There is no need to go "full race mode". However. You can enhance the aspects of performance which matter. A well put together street car is safe, reliable, and can handle a track day once in a while. Or a spirited drive on the twisties, stuck in traffic, or a long interstate cruise.
Imho. Safety is paramount. Performance contributes to safety. Your handling can never be too accurate, your braking too good, etc.
Here are some links of where to start on getting the most out of your old miata. Safety handling and braking first. Wheels, and power later.
Cusco is the company to seek out for half cages, clutches, diffs and more. They make from street spec to WRC spec. For you, the cheaper items will surpass stock.
