I'd have super quiet exhaust on it... that'd freak people out.

I don't see that rear lasting too long.

Youd be surprised how well the import rear ends hold up. I dont think thats a stock diff. Most of the Miata and S2000s run a R200 Nissan diff which has put cars in the 10s and a few in the 8s with no issues.

Anybody recognize the cam/exhaust combo from the tone? That was evil sounding.

That would be a cool project car. In less than 5 mins of looking a found a few close ones for less than $1200. Wonder how hard it would be to tub and toss in 275's
