Longtime Honda Civic guy giving RWD a go ..
 
Picked up a 99 Miata with the intent to......put a Honda motor in it ! Loved my K24 swapped 98 civic, this will basically be the same weight give or take but with RWD...should be a blast.

It's a pretty fantastic swap. Can't go wrong with the K24 when put the right way around!

No doubt. I love the k series platform....just too bad it took me this long to find the Miata platform

You don't happen to be in AZ do you? Judging from the landscape there's a good chance.

I'm in Chandler and there's a few other local guys on here as well. I'm doing a K24Z3 swap in a dedicated track car.

JustinD2473 01-22-2020 06:55 AM

Live in Mesa, work in Chandler....going to be a fun street/track car but I'm a total rookie when it comes to auto-x/road racing. All I've ever done is some 1/4 mile in my old K24 EK Civic. Looking forward to trying some new stuff once I swap and then learn the car a bit.

Clean ass car man. Welcome to the pink side.

Welcome! If you liked the K in the Civic you're going to love it in the Miata. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help as you plan out the project.

welcome to RWD life. You'll love the Honda engine in the Miata chassis. I'm in the middle of my K24A2 swap right now, so if you want to check things out I'm doing my best to document everything (including costs) in my build thread linked in my sig

Welcome to the forum. Lots of track junkies here and the kswap is the new hot ticket.

between COVID & being busy at work the Kmiata project took a backseat....discovered the car was wrecked and there is some shady looking repairs in the engine bay so I'm going this route....should be shipping this week. Just got done at powder coat.

Yes, yes it is.

Well, this just got interesting!

Josh CW92 11-12-2020 12:32 PM

I'm not sure if I just missed it but I'm sure many of us would be interested in a build thread for this. Definitely in for updates!

JustinD2473 11-12-2020 01:01 PM

I'll start a build thread for sure....just wanted to post a little update here
