I think I am going to try this with a shitty, leaking, regular s-13 rack and see how I like it. If I like it i'll do it to my hicas rack. I think the best solution for the belt on a ka would be a custom water pump pulley so that one belt drives the water pump and the alternator.

TO THE OP: Post a link to the miata write-up please. I would like to learn more about this conversion.
