What do you mean are they "really" any different than the stock ones?

Have you been told that they are, or did you arrive at this conclusion yourself?


Let me make this simple for you:


The ONLY BP that would have a hope in hell at holding 350hp is what came in the Familia GTR. Not the GTX, not a Mazdaspeed anything, but the Familia GTR ONLY.

It's called the BPD. There were 2000 made, ever. Buying one is more expensive than building your bottom end.

If you want 350hp, just build a bottom end and stop fucking around.

all 1.8 engines, all years.
all 1.8 engines
all



Did I say, "Almost all?"
Did I say, "Except the Mazdaspeed?"

EDIT: Familia GTR was not available for sale anywhere in North or South America.

Guys, as long as we're asking stupid questions: has anyone done any 4 door miata conversions?

18psi 12-11-2013 01:02 PM

are there any 3 cylinder miata's?

18psi 12-11-2013 01:02 PM

how about a miata mini van?

concealer404 12-11-2013 01:02 PM

How about a BEAMS 3sge?

18psi 12-11-2013 01:02 PM

how hard would it be to convert a miata to FWD?

concealer404 12-11-2013 01:03 PM

Can i drift my FWD Miata?

concealer404 12-11-2013 01:03 PM

I feel like Ford engine swaps should be easy in a Miata, because Ford owns Mazda anyways.

18psi 12-11-2013 01:04 PM

18psi 12-11-2013 01:05 PM

with lambo doors and skyline taillights

18psi 12-11-2013 01:05 PM

with quarters jbwelded to the pistons to raise compression and a thick head gasket to lower it back down
