Stumbled on your new video today and was happy to see you found your way into another Miata! Love the videos, been watching them since around when I started looking into turbocharging mine!

I check YT on almost a daily basis awaiting updates on the LS3 swap.

Love it

Tom, you should update us on how the build is going. I know the videos are quite a bit behind. Are you doing any more realtime updates?

Thank you sir, I appreciate you saying that! Building this car has been a great learning experience and sharing it with everyone has been lots of fun. Glad you are enjoying the vids!

Hi there, the build is going great, I post it in a variety of places and honestly didn't want to clutter up this forum with a bunch of naturally aspirated junk. Haha! But thank you for asking and here's where you can check it out:

I post a new video update every two weeks on Fridays. Here is a list of all of the videos:

For more detail and lots more pictures, I also have a website for the car project. There's also a complete parts list that I update as the project goes on.
Thunderbolt: The LS3 V8 Powered MX-5 Mazda Miata | Home

Thanks again for checking this stuff out everyone, I appreciate it very much! Hope y'all are having fun with your Turbo Miatas, I miss mine. Quick tangent- I would take coworkers, etc. for rides and they would always ask "how much horsepower does this thing make?" and I'd tell them, "250 to the wheels" which would usually result in a scoff and "well my buddy has a {INSERT CAR} that makes {INSERT IMPOSSIBLE, IMAGINARY HORSEPOWER FIGURE} and it runs {INSERT RIDICULOUS, UNFATHOMABLE 1/4 MILE TIME} so you can't impress me."

Well...after a couple turns on my favorite mountain road they'd be begging me to dial it back- and I'm no crazy driver or anything, just gave 'em a little sample of the Turbo Miata experience, that's all. :rofl:

Yeah, these cars definitely won't make you fall asleep. And yours with 500+ will be nutty

concealer404 04-28-2015 09:34 AM

Post build here! We love n/a things.

aidandj 04-28-2015 11:43 AM

Your channel and motortrend are the only two channels I actually allow to send me email updates when you post a new video. So I know all about that. But I want moar info naow. The videos are a bit behind :)
