also how exactly do you do this mod? i did a search and found nothin and i posted a thread on it awhile ago asking how to do it but nobody ever replied

how it works is, when the timing is at its default setting which in your case is 10 degrees the spark goes off like right before the piston is to the top, which in that case doesnt burn all the fuel. when its at 16 degrees, the spark goes off before the piston hits the top which allows it to burn all the fuel while the piston rises and compresses the exlposion and the rest of the mixtures so all the mixture gets burned. hope that made sense...

I tried this on my 95 1.5 and would check it with a timing light...
However everytime I moved the timing.. the cpu would move it back...
so.. I just said forget it

Advancing the timing (on the 1st-gen at least) will give a little more low-midrange torque. This takes advantage of the fact that the BP is VERY conservatively tuned, requiring only 86 octane gas. I don't think you could get it to ping with stock timing.
Most of the Miatae owners run 14-18 degrees, with more advance requiring higher octane fuel. The extra performance gained from that extra 4 degrees of timing probably isn't worth the added cost of premium over regular.
