My LS2 V8 Miata

[LS2 V8 Miata]

Here's a link to my photo site showing some recent pictures of my LS2 V8 Miata under construction, still not finished yet. The old picture attached below is with the first V8 I put in it, an LS1.

If you click on the sub-album icon entitled, "More High-Performance Projects" you can see an interesting array of a few of our past projects and machines.

Enjoy

Awesome. But the Corvette Badge on the front is a big NO NO!

Wow, that's an awsome project you've got going on there! Who's doing the work on it? How much is it going to cost you? Is it really gonna have 650HP? I've always wanted a V8 powered small car like a 240Z, Austin Healey replica, 944 or my top pick a 427 Cobra.

You mean the engine cover? That is a corvette engine after all.

ace project. looks like lots of fun. those engine mounts look rigid, does that mean theres a lot of vibration. still very interesting.

Good god! You're mad!!! Awesome all the same!

Scary! How much work is needed for the transmission, axels, etc? This seems like a downright frightening thing to do, I approve. :P

I don't know a ton about MX5s, how stable are they? Do they corner well at high speeds? Does this add a ton of extra front-end weight and cause oversteer?

There is a thread about this in the Car comparison forum.

To OP: Stab a piece of paper with your name written on it over the gear stick, this is our way of getting proof that it is infact your car

[clutch-monkey]

wow, how much of it is still a mazda? i assume it needed a lot of aded strength etc to cope with the power

awsome project, am i wrong or does front-end weight cause understeer.

[digitalcraft]

yes, I'm sorry. I meant understeer.

yes front weight cause understeer but rear drive will cause oversteer. So the net effect is ...? Its a bit like the F150 pickup that has to have bricks over the rear axle.

Maybe it will have BOTH understeer and oversteer. oooh, that'd be bad! Turns slowly and when it does, its only from the rear wheel scooting out sideways :P

The car retains 50/50 weight distrabution.

Like a four-wheel drift? Mega fun.
