Check Miata.net in the Garage section.

And the 1.6 clutch flywheel combo is a little lighter... for a little extra pep.

For the most part you can interchange just about any part between the NA & NB Miatas.

ie: I have a 90 with a 97 engine, 95 transmission, a front hub from a 01 (only non abs hubs interchange)!

and with very little modification to the mounting points, you can swap a NB interior into an NA as well.
