    Skyline Miata Swap, wow!

    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!!

    Looks slow.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    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.
