Very cool! It's nice to see something different like that. There's a guy very local to me who transplanted a modified Ford 302cid (350hp) in a miata and that's pretty sweet. He thought it would be funny to see how long the factory rear would last in it and it didn't last a week haha. Keep us posted on the project!

Last night i was at my friends watching all his recorded episodes of Stacey Davids' "Gears" i watched about five episodes on the banshee project. I dont know whos familiar with it buts its kit car miata with a v-8 swap. It was ugly as hell, and they but a crappy mustang engine in them usually, he swapped out a racong engine but it was meant for a mustang engine. Anyway, i pretty much hated it, but thought conceptually, they were on the right track. I think this is the answer to that project! He was half there, but this is the way you're supposed to do it! An LSX, duh!And custom body work instead of a weak interpretation of someone elses original idea like all other kit cars. This is awesome. You should email him maybe he'd feature you on his show like in the "what are you working on?" section

i didnt want to imbed video for the people who didnt care but heres a link to the containing page if you want to check out the project and see just how much work goes into these things to further appreciate this mans car. Also, to see why the shows project falls in comparison to his.

Do you think you'll have it done for this summer? If so, will you bring it out to Orange Julep?

Cool idea, only Miata I have ever seen that was't gay. I would hate to get spanked by a Miata.
