Purchased for this conversion, and driven two Summers, to set up suspension, interior, etc., then engine conversion during Winter 2018. Good fuel economy, massive torque when prodded, and with stock-like appearance, a real sleeper! Very quiet exhaust when cruising. All stock functions retained, lights, heater system, and all air conditioning system complete, except the final lines between Miata condenser, and LFX compressor. (I live in N.

Wish I could figure out how! It's a MP4 on my computer; I can email it to you, if you can do these things? It was a cell phone video taken during a local dyno pull, so I could log revs and AFR's in hopes I could have V8R adjust the fuel trims, but ended up taking the car 150 miles away to a shop known for tuning expertise. I kept the video mostly as a sound clip.

Very clean and looks very well done. I don't suppose you have corner weighed the car?

Thanks! It was a very enjoyable build. I don't have access to scales, so have not corner weighted her, just carefully set ride height for what I felt was as low as practical, with reasonable ground clearance, and without bump steer issues, and had a good shop do the alignment to my specs, which are close to Goodwin and FM street #'s.

You mentioned a dyno but didn't list numbers or post a sheet. Might help with the sale.

Thanks for your interest, but I'm garage space challenged, so not looking to trade. Sounds like a cool ride 'tho!

I'v been asked about the exhaust system; It has a Flowmaster Cat, installed inline, right after the downpipes Y into the 2 1/2in pipe, also a Vibrant SS 18in. long resonator, and finally a SS Borla muffler. I have retained the stock Miata charcoal EVAP system, and the LFX EVAP solenoid is functional, controlled by the LFX PCM.
