Default Still a Miata

Hi there,,,
It's a LS6, it's lighter and should but a lot of LS1 still !

If you compare tha ratio power/weight, humm it's gonna hurt !

I've also had a 1997 Camaro SS and found it to heavy, LOVED THE ENGINE but we all need to have different opinion to appreciate our own cars don't you think ?

Thanks for the comment my friend... !!!

Default Inside it...

Yaaaa,
Like I was telling previously, I've had a Camaro SS, liked the engine so much, there is NOTHING like it but found the car heavy ... This is why I chose this conversion.

By the way, this whole body will not be exclusive, the guy whos building it will make molds for afordable price he say...

do you have any plans for the exhaust on the sides or is that the only place it fits?

Default Here the sidepipes !

Here is my most recent home made video http://www.bfamus.tv/watch.php?mdid=...iata+V8+week+6
Finally, we just finished the front bumper, the two holes will serve one for foglights and the inside one for brake breathing with a functionnal conduct.

Here, the front bumper:


Here a tails light picture:


Side covers, covering exhaust like I explained earlier (not finished yet):


And finaly, here the preview after 6 weeks of hard labors;


Next video, the car should be complete, just before painting !
By the way, is's gonna be Red Porsche 2009 !
