Welcome. This is THE best spot on the interweb for LSx info and interesting reads on great builds. Good luck and please put together your build thread when ready... Lots of Nissan conversions here as well.

And Im in the Raleigh area. Cheers.

i'm looking at doing an lsx miata and what i find most helpful is just looking at other peoples builds to see what they did. Not gonna copy them just looking to inspire ideas or see some helpful tips on parts and whatnot. I would start there, just use the Ls1tech search bar or scroll down.

Welcome-I'm in the Jacksonville area, but all of Eastern Carolina has a strong LSx community. Where are you from?

Where are you located?
If you're in the Raleigh area you should swing by the local Cars & Coffee. There is a regular who has an LS swapped 240, its white its nice.
In fact, its this weekend at Waverly Place in Cary.

I found a few shots of it for some inspiration

No, haven't seen a local LSx Miata but really hope to now! But I think I just saw your Corolla on a local NC forum I stumbled across last wknd. I'll be in a BRG Miata (with 1.6L)

And, thanks! I'm having fun with the swap. It's my wknd stress reliever.
