Andrew was refering to the port on the side, that brass one is the EVAP, the one on the top is the EGR. I noticed it too that it was not capped. Gonna have vacuum leak if you don't cap/plug it. Would be running a bit lean and high idle.

Nice work. Heard a lot of people talk about such a swap, cool to see someone actually finishing one.

By the way, I would quit hanging out on that other site. Those people are like a bunch of old bitches. They aren't worthy.

I am considering doing a miata LSx but I love the S2000 looks. How much does it weigh with the LS1/T56/8.8 diff? also are you able to keep the 50/50 that the S2000 has? is there a kit out there like for the miata?
that is badass. I love it

not sure how much it weighs yet, i will do a 4 wheel corner balance when its back on the ground. No there is no kit, as far as i know this is the only LS1/T56 with a Ford 8.8 rear end S2000 out there so i have had to make everything myself.
