So this Miata showed up at the local Miata club meeting last night, I figured I would post it here as well for the folks that did not see my post on FB, IG.

I also did give him some stickers and asked him to join the forum, so hopefully we will hear from him about this crazy build!! :shock:

That has to be a huge joy in that miata and in one of the best sounding 6 cylinders imo

Heh, I'm going to pretend they did the entire swap just to make changing the oil easier. I like imagining car people getting so annoyed about something kind of minor they go to great lengths to fix the problem.

But yeah, that looks awesome. Very clean looking swap.

Well, every idea I've come up with for my engine build just went into the trash bucket.

No, not AWD, but it is a sweet looking install. I was there to see it!

This car was built by a guy here in Ocala he recently just sold it to a guy in Orlando. But I am pretty sure after he rebuilt the motor it was hitting 400hp

Welcome to the forum, let's see some pics of your speed3. We have quite a few speed3 owners here.

Also if you know the new owner to post up here on the forum.

I know the new owner, and he has been a member here for a while. I'm not sure if he wants to reveal himself yet though. :whistle:

I like the skyline swap much better than the LS swap. Everything looks right at home. Pretty nice set up.

Well, I bought a new toy and its a monster. Pretty much everyone locally knows I have it. I actually going to have the chassis painted and fix the frame rails before saying I bough it but my father let the cat out of the bag already. Headlights and body work is on top of the list for now.
