Man, I really hope that you go through with this one. I've only been on this forum a year or two and have seen two (now three) of your builds that generally go like this:

1: Hey, I'm going to build XXX
2: Lots of pics of purchased parts
3: No news for a while
4: Huge FS thread

Like I said, I really hope this one goes through for you. Obama said that everyone DESERVES a V8 Miata. Really. Go Snopes it.

:pitlab:

great progress pics!!!

Urban...I don't have a lot of room to talk...but atleast I have a running turbo Miata.

You are really good at buying parts and "planning" a build...and not so good about installing them.

Please go through with this. I'm sure it won't disappoint. Maybe you've just been waiting for the "right" build...well this has to be it.

I hope your "shop guys" can get it in.

In for ls1miataaroundtree.jpeg

Yeah, but mine was better.:loser::laugh:

well... guys that are building this car didnt want to deal with "pussy motor" that was my 2.0L but i was totally fine with it... this build will get finished because i dont have any more money to pay for more parts :/

oh, and this time around im going to do a lot of shit myself so i know shit gets done :) right now we just need to refresh the motor a little, figure out what cam to run, get/install fuel cell, do final prep (alignment, tuning), then paint from another shop that owes me and off to willow springs raceway we go ;)

deadline is mid-to-end of january for a running car.

I'm starting to like this thread.
Now just update it with lots of pictures and I'll like it even more:)

im taking pictures as stuff shows up. next package im waiting for is my new wiring harness. yes, im redoing my ENTIRE wiring!

Good luck.. lol

Find the word which word doesn't belong.

just changing all gaskets and pumps. nothing major.

I'm busting your balls. So is all the engine bay work and wiring done, and the rear end in too, or is that also part of the 'just'? :giggle:

C

there isnt much to do in the engine bay. LSx wiring is self-contained and only needs few wires hooked up to actually work. ecu fits in engine bay also (thus my decision to re-wire everything and save like gazzilion lbs in wires.)

rear end install kit is on its way from boss frog. already have carrier, rebuild/install kit, and diff itself. check out the thread on m.net about rear end:

8.8 rear end conversion axle measurements - MX-5 Miata Forum

LOL. It wouldn't affect mine......... It doesn't matter what You have in something. These projects take alot of effort. and you need to get compensated accordingly.

Good Luck!
