With two people that have a decent idea of what they're doing, how long should it take to "rebody" a Miata?

Thinking of picking up a minty rust free 91 Mariner with a blown motor for the purpose of dumping all the **** from the red car over to it.

That's if every last thing goes smoothly, right? That never happens for me.

So Easy mode would be: Strip 91 to a roller, remove engine harness with driveline. Insert 95 parts, including engine harness. Plug in current Megasquirt. Roll.


Hard/Better mode: Strip 91 to roller, acquire 6spd/3.63 and MS3X, insert 95 motor w/ new parts, build new harness. Roll hard?

Give or take 3-5 months to do it, you know, from my experience.

If I did nothing but swap all the parts...less than a couple days by myself.

I say roll hard, as you've said, you aren't in a terrible hurry!

I think it depends on work situation. If i get to work from home this winter, then i'm not in a big hurry.

If i have to still commute, this would be the winter beater, so hurry would be the name of the game. I THINK if i got both cars next to each other, i could turn things into a running and driving blue turbo car and a pile of extra parts in a weekend by myself.

That's kindof what i really want. I want some 6spd life.


This is the wrong car for that. That's what the 93 is for.

you're replacing that 2554 with something that can break a 5sp?
otherwise whats the point

Why you dont think the 2554 running ALLOFIT cant make enough torque to break 5 speeds?

in theory? sure
in reality, I haven't see it yet.

and you know how much I love to chat hypotheticals with you

That just cause everyone is ***** ------s and wont run a peak and taper tune on a miata.

The point is that i hate the FM clutch that's in the car, and if i'm separating motor from trans, i'm not putting a limpdick 5spd back on it.

Also this.


I like theories. My version of ALLOFIT involves a 17-18psi spike in he midrange.

Which booster and master do i want again?

Car has ABS, and i have a set of NB Sports that should find their way on the car this winter.

Wants: Hard pedal and brakes that make me moist.

Either you want the double thick booster with the 929 master or you want the MSM abs booster and master. The 929 is 1/16th bigger in bore, but the booster is significantly more boosted.

What the hell is a double thick booster? Sounds like my Friday night with your mom.
