Sounds great. Hopefully that 1/3rd as strong transmission with 1/4 the shift quality and 1/2 the gearing goodness for 2/3rds the price works out.

How are you planning on bolting the Miata PPF to the FD transmission? Yes, FDs had PPFs as well, but they're a totally different shape and they mount on the opposite side of the transmission. You need transmission & diff mounts, and likely a custom driveshaft as well.

Correct to all these things, though presumably the 8.8 kit that he's spending a couple grand on has mount provisions.

No pff needed with an 8.8 and nothing metal wont fix. I ll make a tranny mount which is super easy. Already spoke to v8roadsters when i ordered the kit they discounted the price of the driveshaft from total price until i send them measurements so they can make one appropriate for my application and they will quote me a price but could be cheaper or a little more than their original driveshaft that comes with the kit

This thread is direct evidence that you have the wrong connections.
