Yeah champ, go all motor, forget the Miata. Now if you really want a Mazda instead of turbo for Civic get a RX7. That's a real mans Mazda, already turbo 88 up. But I agree with cuzz, get you a AWD 90 94 Eclipse/Talon. Had a 90 GSX AWD. Loved it , turbo went out. 14.9 all day. Own a 91 EF Hatch w/ B16. You'll get much respect when you win. It's your decision, but that's what I would do.
