LS2 V8 Miata

Hey guys, I'm experiencing the Blues because I can't finish my project (Rain & Snow) and my unwillingness to lay on the cold concrete out in my Carport, even though I've got every single part to finish it.

The resulting boredom has made me go and cobble together old 4 cylinder days (Track days & Auto-X) pics and video for FUN (My first post to You-Tube)

Hope you guys like it, Happy Holidays!!

PS

GM ROCKS, THEY MUST BE SAVED!!!!!!!

Ha, my buddy will get a kick out of the LS2 sitting in that thing. He had a Miata and I always gave him **** for it.

Yeah, I hear ya. Try doing what I'm trying to make myself do (it's single-digits here right now) - every day or so, tell yourself that you'll put just 20 mins in toward getting a little piece of the project done. Sometimes 15-20 mins is all you'll be able to stand, but sometimes once you're out there, you'll be motivated to go a little bit longer to finish a section up!


Sometimes you can bring some of it indoors too, depending on what you have left to do - it looks like I'll likely be doing the wiring harness work over the next few days since I brought the new & original harnesses into the basement in preparation for arctic/polar days like today...

Hope this helps.

I hear ya to. I have a hard time going out and working on my LS1 swap C4 when it is cold (even though I have a heated garage...).

How cold does it get in Prescott AZ? Do you guys have track events year round?
No events here until May... That is mostly to blame for my lack of motivation.

Anyway, good luck w the project. Cannot wait to see new track footage w LS2 POWER!!

I found this video on youtube:

Looks like Mr Mullet needs some education on how autocrossing works!!
I'm thinking those are pointer cones, not knocked down...
Still, cool to get your car on TV!

Oh, yeah, Stacie.... I was thinking it was Jessie or something like that. I remember him from Trucks and some other show. Anyway, someone needs to take that off-roader auto-crossing. I cannot believe no one on staff at that show had enough knowledge to squash that comment. But, then, car shows are not known for their accuracy.

Nice vid. I hear ya on trying to push forward and finish a project. I'm at the same point. First start and ko-cart are just around the corner. Wrenching on this thing for 9 months is starting to wear on me. I wanna drive the damn thing!!!

FTD by nearly 4 seconds. That's a bone stock LS1 from a 2002(?) Trans Am. The car's getting new heads and a cam right now...
