tire pressures and wheel torque
I tried searching this but no luck. What tire pressures and wheel torque are you guys using. My stock NA Miata calls for 26 lbs tire pressure. Surely you guys can't be running that with the 5.0 Miatas. What wheel torque are you using? Thank you in advance.-Brad

By wheel torque are you talking about lug nut tightness?
If so, I still utilize the service manual recommendation.
Don't remember the exact number but it is a little sticky note that I stapled on the wall in my garage.
For tire pressure I run 28 rear and 32 front.
When autocrossing it seems to work best when I run the pressure down a couple of pounds.

Yes, I am referring to wheel nut tightness. Thank you for your response.
I have one more question about the splined tool that I need to use for my wheels. They are "tuner" lug nuts. Any tips for using this tool? My first attempt was less than productive. I thought that the tool provided with the car was slightly damaged so I replaced it. Is there a "best way" to use this? Possibly set it with a urethane hammer before use? It looks very easy to damage both the tool and the lug nuts. Any thoughts? -Brad

wheel rim torque
Never mind guys
I just got back from my storage and I used a new spline tool. Easy peasy. The tool was with the car was so bunged up that it was confusing me. All is well now.-Brad
