Cordell Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Anyone who knows me knows that I debate about my car all the time. At this point it has the nitrous motor in it still, a mild 4L60, and a stock 10 bolt. Laying in the garage next to it is most of a T56 swap, another stock 10 bolt, and an LQ4 that needs rebuilt. I ultimately will buy another rear end, likely a Moser 9" eventually. What direction would you go? I can easily get the money back out of these 6 speed parts so I'm not dead set on swapping it.

koolrayz Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Sell it,,,,,,,,, Your not worthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeesammy Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 If you want to leave it a straight-line car, leave the '60 in it, sell the T56, use that money from the T56 sale to go towards a Moser 9". Keep the LQ9 around to rebuild once you get the 9" in it and when your current engine decides to let loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 My solution was to go both ways, but with two cars. I love having a 6-speed on the street, but at the track it was costing me time. My thought is to do the 6-speed swap, and find a cheap rolling chassis for a track car. Baring that, do the 6-speed swap and enjoy driving your car on the street more than you do now. Race it at the track if you want. I've seen older rolling chassis racecars for not much more than I spent on my Moser 9" for my Camaro. Turbo LS Dragster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharris89 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 As someone who swapped a 6speed into an auto car I say leave it auto. I love driving my car as a stick but I wish I had just saved up more and bought a stick 4th gen to go with my 3rd gen. Mine has been a pia and is still not right. Enjoy what you have or buy another stick car. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 T56 all day I wouldn't really care how fast it is in a straight line or how consistent it is at a track, it's still an auto at the end of the day. Just my opinion for what it's worth. Maybe if I drove a 10 sec auto car I would change my tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bastard Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I say swap it cause it seems like it sees the street more than the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Keep it an auto drag car, you already have a manual track car. Best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Pull motor and trans and put in a drag shell, then put the lq block and t56 in the camaro and add a snail to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah but the Camaro would be a fun street cruiser with a 6MT. He doesn't want to cruise around in the miata, questionable people tend to hop in the passenger seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRTurbo04 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Leave it alone dump all the money into the homo mobile. If you must, I would 6 speed swap it and just cruise it. Oh and save that money and invest into a taxi next time :finger: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I enjoy driving my current 5-speed beater more than I ever enjoyed my automatic ws6, for whatever that's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Id say 6 speed swap it and drive it, everything is a lot more fun with 3 pedals. Who cares if the miata is a manual, two is always better than one imo. There sports cars i think they deserve to be manuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
