So, you've got a Mazda Miata MX-5 and a burning desire to turn it into the ultimate performance machine? Well, hold onto your steering wheel because Keith Tanner is here to guide you through the ins and outs of upgrading your beloved roadster!

In this sizzling manual, Tanner dives straight into various performance projects, turning your little two-seater into a speed demon on wheels. The book covers everything from simple tweaks to more complex modifications, making it as accessible as an open road on a sunny afternoon. If you've ever thought, "Hey, I could totally race that guy in the next lane," this book might just get you there.

First up, Tanner emphasizes the importance of knowing your car inside-out. We're talking about devouring all that technical jargon you'd rather ignore. This is where you get to understand your engine's soul (yes, cars have souls, don't fight me on this). From suspension upgrades to swapping out those tired tires for something that actually grips the road, the book offers hands-on advice that doesn't require a degree in rocket science - thank goodness, right?

One of the biggest highlights of the book? You guessed it - DIY projects! Tanner covers a myriad of upgrades that you can attempt in your garage. Want to build a custom exhaust? Go for it! How about an upgraded intake? Sure, why not! Just remember: with great power comes great responsibility (and the chance to annoy your neighbors with the noise of your new exhaust).

Of course, Tanner isn't just tossing around random upgrades like confetti at a parade. Each project is explained step-by-step, ensuring that you won't accidentally turn your beauty into a paperweight. The book even includes tips on what tools you'll need (hello, toolbox shopping spree!). Spoilers (that aren't really spoilers in this case): there are some details that might involve you getting a little dirt under your nails, but that's part of the fun!

Another crucial aspect Tanner tackles is performance tuning. Ever wondered how to squeeze those extra horses out of your Miata? He breaks down the nitty-gritty of tuning your car, making it less of a puzzle and more of a fun project you can boast about to your pals.

As you zip through these projects, Tanner stresses safety. Not the "please wear your seatbelt" kind of safety, but the "don't rip your car apart unless you know what you're doing" kind. Seriously, nobody wants you to end up with a "project" that resembles a car wreck instead of a performance upgrade.

So, if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and get greasy, Mazda Miata MX-5 Performance Projects by Keith Tanner is your ticket to transforming your MX-5 from cute roadster to absolute thrill machine. Just remember, modding takes time - and probably a few extra bucks - but when done right, the result is worth every moment (and every dollar). Your Miata will thank you!
