Another V8 Miata is done
 

Miata.net? Son I am dissappoint. I don't go to that site :(

hahahhahah, this guy either lived around me and just moved....or vise versa. not sure based on his current location on m.net, but he's on a local car forum to me as well.

that's horrible...

(Posting from my phone.)

I made it to second pic.

I have a wierd boner

That guy is a fucking tool. He popped on clubroadster a couple of years ago trying to build his pos turbo miata that failed hence v8. That has to be the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

Apparently it's made for el drefto

This is your last warning...

:laugh:

I remember when this tool was on the forums and complaining about his BP assploding.

"What a junk motor! I tuned it with my SAFC for 20psi and the thing just blew up on the track!"


The M.net thread is making me suicidal. It's like the ACLU is in there making sure everyone only says nice things because it's a crime to say negative things about a pure abomination.

He lives in Navarre.

I actually know the guy personally, dont even have to open that thread to know its him. Hes a pretty nice guy, with money to blow. Dont ban me for this but he can drift the car pretty decently.

Could have fooled me.

:inout:

I wanna fork my eyes, but then I risk having this sight on my head for the rest of my life.

What a fucking disgrace.

Who drifts with a Miata anyway? There's a reason why everyone uses bigger cars..

Haggard bandwagon ass. That's all it is.

:burncash:

I thought it was a lemons car until I read it would be used for drifting.

lol, he has a flickr page.

I noticed this thread yesterday, but I didn't click on the link. What a Fugly piece of crap.

I saw this video just yesterday. Super flat around the corners. That car was RAD. What a coincidence.

Looks worse than shit

I bet his neighbors love him...

I was thinking the same.

If I was his neighbor I'd piss in one pipe and shit into the other

Why did you force me to look at that?

Fuck after seeing the video of it on the road, I like it.

Why? That thing runs like shit. Didn't you hear it cutting out when he goosed the throttle? Maybe the pile of dog shit ontop of the intake manifold needs some tweeks, but otherwise it looks like complete garbage..

seriously. that car is a fucking eyesore and I'm certain the dude can't be any better.

Wow, I didn't know you could make a 302 run that bad.

Looks like shit, runs like shit... it's shit. Not impressed. Actually kind of offended.

chirst, drifting is so gay

Notice how he brags about finishing the car in one month, and not understanding how others can use more time.

Clearly, "finished" isn't really the same in his garage as in others..

That's the thing that most pisses me off about that forum. They allow such bullshit, asshattery, stupidity and misinformation to be spread, all because the moderators allows stupid posts, but will not allow people pointing out that the original posters are stupid, full of shit or incorrect. It's dragging down the Miata community overall. Miata dot net is really ruining Miatas in general, not helping. The moderator staff treats everyone like they are 10 years old, and won't let people have adult conversations.

In regard to the original topic... Someone needs to time travel back 17 years and kick his mother in the ovaries.

It is pretty warm and fuzzy but the V8 section is technically sound.

Meh, m. keeps the resale value low...

It almost made 200 hp!!!

you're shitting me. 200 whp?

Yeah.

Clearly he has a different definition of "done" then us.

But kudos to him, for doing so much work to get a car with the power of a 1.6 GReddy Miata.

Is that the same thread that's titled "drifting pretty" or something similar?

I was browsing CR the other day and clicked on that thread only to be amazed by what a hunk of shit he was creating. Lots of work no doubt, but such a hunk of shit.

Same guy, different thread.

I never saw the want to put a 5.0l in anything. They make little horsepower and now ls1's and 6.0L's can be had for under $1000 so if you wanted to do anything I would do that. (If I was gonna go V8 :] ) On top of that it is a horrible representation of a swap. It is cheap in every way and it still looks slow I will never understand this. Why not just throw some rods and pistons in a 1.8L and boost the shit out of it for better results. To each his own and I am sure his buddies think it is the coolest thing ever. This coming from the guy with the car that is love or hate and no in between and on m.net its all hate.lol

Smaller, cleaner swaps, and a lot of guys know them well. Its also a bit cheaper to do the 5.0 swap yet they bring more $$ when done right. Jason's pulled over 20k out of his a few times (he's on build #4) with decent engines and minor suspension work done.

Some cats like spool, others like instant torque on demand. Its also FAR easier to pull 400rwhp out of the 5.0 then it is the 1.8.

I can see if you really are going to modify the 5.0L because with heads and a cam they make decent power but in pretty much stock form like this one I would rather make the power out of the 4 cyl. Also I am bias to the LS because I have done a decent amount of work with them and know a ton of people with them. Plus I am a huge fan of fuel injection. I realize most swapped 5.0L are but this one is not.

Just to be clear, I'm not talking about this one. I'm talking about 5.0's that are done right, not one that makes less power then a Greddy swapped stock 4 cylinder.

I'm really trying hard to keep my thoughts and opinions out on his build :)

I was talking more so about this one in particular. I did play with the idea of going 5.0L before my swap but the 2J was just to cheap and I am to stubborn to just let it go. I would rather walk into uncharted territory and fail then have the same junk everyone else has already, but that is just me personally. I would like to ride in a nice 5.0L miata and see how it compares to a boosted 4 cyl, my car, and an LS miata. Just to see the differences in all of them.

what a monstah!!

Edelbrock carb FTL.... no wonder it didn't make any power. Holly > edelbrock. But really, get a vic jr copy intake setup for port injection and megasquirt the mofo. Of course stock mustang heads are f'n garbage, flow like 160cfm intake side, probably shittier than a stock 1.6 motor.

lol'ed hard at the tire width.

I like the wide body and I kinda like the wing but the baby tires defiantly kill the look from the back.

I really like those flares. According to him, 9s are too grippy.
Ah well, IMO, at least he's sticking with the miata theme of keeping it super-gay. Needs more pink/teal/baby blue
