OMG, me too!

Well, shop, not garage. Basically the same thing.

Confirmation on the silly thing.
My wife's grandson bought a '92 Miata with no drivetrain so it's going to head here and shenanigans will commence.  [evil]

I'm going to give him an old 302 I have kicking around as a placeholder.
Even with that being maybe 250hp at best, in a 2000lb car it will rip.

After it all works, when he can put aside for a better engine we'll swap that in.

Going to take awhile anyway. i figure I'll be doing this as a slow project over the next year or so with him. I'll put not a dime into it unless it's money that would otherwise be a birthday or Christmas present for him. This is all him, I'm just space, tools and labor.

If people can get the 400HP LS6 (I think that's the designation, it's the 6L one that was in the recent GTO) in a 280Z, you can get one in a Miata.  The 302 should be good for some serious shenanigans though!

I personally have see over 350hp being pushed out of one of those little girl cars.  If your ego can get past the "chick car" thing that little Miata is a pure joy to drive even dead stock it is fun.  Tweaked to the hilt and it is a formidable lightweight rear wheel drive and a handful of happiness.  There is a reason they race the piss out of them.

If he spent as much money as the Mini cost that Miata will pull the teeth out of horses and the mini won't see anything but the taillights for a second.




And yes, I almost bought one also......
Two things I don't do.  Keyboard bullies and hypocrites.
Feel free to PM me if needed, otherwise you will find me elsewhere.
