zeitgeist57 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/news/a27834/yep-flyin-miata-has-already-crammed-a-v8-in-a-2016-mx-5-miata/ From an elevated hood shot, the front end looks a lot more devilish. Very cool package. Definitely pricey, but I can't imagine how fast this thing must be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 As fast as an NA Ls1 in an RX7? I helped with a Miata swap- PITA in the first gens. Have to cut up the firewall, notch frame...ect. The swap was perfect though. Looks OEM, working AC, cruise...ect. I want to say the overall labor and fab charge was around $8k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 My only concern would be can you get a tire under the thing to make it fun and useful? Unless you're building a drift car, spin city is old pretty quick.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC K9 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Tom @ Tom's Turbo Garage has a whole series on LS swapping a miata. I watched the whole thing, and I don't even like Miatas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 It's going to be so difficult to decide in 2 or 3 years if I want to ruin a Miata with a LS swap or ruin an FR-S with an LS swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 It's going to be so difficult to decide in 2 or 3 years if I want to ruin a Miata with a LS swap or ruin an FR-S with an LS swap. Since you're so into ruining stuff, why don't you ruin a Camaro w/a Miata motor? I feel like that would get just as much attention, and in this day and age, any attention is good attention, right?

Doc1647545523 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 It's going to be so difficult to decide in 2 or 3 years if I want to ruin a Miata with a LS swap or ruin an FR-S with an LS swap. Why ruin an FR-S? For the price of your LS swap into an FR-S, I'd prolly sell you my 86, which has better balance, prolly more h.p. than your LS, and which reflects a whole lot better taste. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/GT86/GT86-36_zps98a59e6b.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Well if it was your's than it would have a whole new level of credibility behind it too, hahahahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 It's going to be so difficult to decide in 2 or 3 years if I want a red or black Exocet with an LS swap. Fixed that for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
