hey


ls1_miata

Recommended Posts

I'm a 4th year mechanical engineering student at georgia tech and co-op with general motors up in michigan.

 

I started converting my turbo miata to a LS1 miata over fall break 07 and recently completed it and now terrorize the streets (and track soon) around atlanta. :burn:

 

I created a complete build website for my miata (http://home.comcast.net/~npartist/) and have been posting some videos on streetfire.net. I noticed that a thread from this forum was leading the link clicks to my most recent video so I figure I would stop by and get to know some of you since it seems there is some interest in my car. And not to bash but normally there are a shit ton of misconceptions about a v8 miata so maybe I can represent the tiny v8 miata community...

 

Here are a couple pics of my car.

thanks.

 

I'm going to a track day at talladega grand prix in munford, al this friday and will have my video camera and gps data acquisition unit. Hopefully I can get some entertaining stuff.

 

I don't have ANY sway bars on the car right now though...haha. So the handling is sloppy (maybe even as bad as a mustang.... :p ) but I have a new sway bar mount to install when i get time. Have to move the sway bar with the new engine.

I got the complete "drop-in" drivetrain out of a 2002 Camaro Z28 with 20k miles on it. So its the T56 M6. I have a ford 8.8 diff out of a 2002 ford explorer with a custom driveshaft and axles.
