How many miles?
Just out of curiosity, how many original (or not, specify) miles have been put on your Miatas? I want to see how long these can be kept going!

Bought my NB1 in October of 2018 with 124,000 miles. It's been my daily since then and now has 145,000 on it. The last 5,000 miles have been with 10 psi of boost.

At some point I'd like to get an FM kit for mine, but I'm scared about my motor at 160k lol. Maybe I'm just being a bitch about it!

Do a compression test and see what kind of numbers you get. Then take everything else into account, like is it leaking/using oil? How’s your clutch? Does your trans shift well? When was the last time your timing belt, water pump, and front seals were replaced? Do you have any suspension problems that need sorting out?
If you have good answers for all those questions, there’s no time like the present.

160,3xx!
I bought it with ~153k on the clock, and I've loved every single mile that I've put on it. My goal is to maintain it well enough that I can get it to 300k. Not sure if the motor was replaced, but even then, I don't care. She still runs like new!
