i think it was the Aston Martin DB7 interior door handles? lol. i forget which Aston, if it's not the DB7, but there is one that does use the same door handles as the NA Miata.

The mixing manifold from the Mazda Protege, 323, Kia Sephia, Ford Escort and Mercuri Capri Turbo is compatible with the BP Engine. If you are building a turbo, you may want to use this mixing manifold as it is simpler and allows A LOT MORE CLEARANCE to run the coolant lines, oil return (drain) line and intercooler hoses from the turbo.

The Kia Sephia and Mazda 626 thermostat housing is best to use for a coolant re-route because it points horizontally to either the cold-side of hot-side of the block.

The Mazda 323 manual steering bracket and pulley is compatible with either the 1.6 and 1.8 A/C compressors and provides more clearance for a turbo.

All 1.6s, 94 engine block to mid 95.5 and Mazdaspeed engine blocks are best to use for turbo. They come with coolant and oil sources to feed the turbo, both sources located under the exhaust side of the block.

The 2001-2005 engine oil pan and corresponding Main Bearing Support Plate (MBSP) is best to use when building a turbo, the 2001-2005 MBSP is way stronger than previous years and provides support to the factory main caps. All previous year MBSPs do not come with this feature.

Also, other upgrades that my interest you is using the A/C compressor and corresponding A/C bracket from a Mazdaspeed Miata. The compressor is smaller and sits lower, and A/C lines are positioned in a way that do not interfere with the turbo. The A/C bracket is made of aluminum, therefore the whole combo weight less than all year NA-NB A/C compressors. I believe the same Mazdaspeed Miata compressor also comes in the Mazda RX-8.

I think FM is hosting the Solo Miata interchange page now. He had a page for other cars interchange into the Miata, including differentials and ring & pinions.

Escort interior switches plug into the lower slots on the NAs, maybe the NBs. Nice if you want to add a fog light/driving light switch.
