If the illest Grip Royal 14" wheel crowd on Club Roadster figured it out, this guy might have a better chance than we think.

Notice that guy just started the thread like "Look what i've done."

Now notice the juxtaposition between that and this thread.

What's all the hate about i like doing engine swaps for the purpose of just doing it and learning new skills. My original post was if i should do it bc i would like to drive the car on the street sometimes and just wanted to know if the miata and the 13b is a good combo. i'm not asking "hOw dO I pUt eNgINe iN cAr" i know very well that it takes time skill and effort, im not a bolt on guy i like making everything myself so i can learn something not just change brakes and oil. Thanks for all the replies i'll do it and make a build thread about it.

If your first post had actually been what you said it was, you'd have been treated differently. For example:

Hey guys and gals, I got my hands on a cheap 13b. I've never driven or owned a rotary engine before, but I have plenty of fab experience. I'm planning to swap it into a pristine NA to drive on the street occasionally on nice days only. I don't plan to take it to the track, but I'd like to make some serious power with it by throwing on a turbo. Is this a good plan?
We would have told you:
* Try out a rotary before you commit to the build, it's an awful lot of effort and not everyone ends up liking the motor.
* You're going to have to make a bunch of mods to the shell, so maybe don't cut up a pristine NA, especially if you live somewhere where they're not plentiful.
* Building a rotary for serious power is going to be expensive and parts are getting hard to find even in the parts of the world where they were "plentiful".
* etc.
