Time for a new segment. Tom is making good progress and lots of little details in this one.



This time we continue work modifying our chassis, mount our Getrag differential, take a look at our Tremec Magnum and then modify our LS376/525 so it will work well in our Miata.

Big plastered ads for Summit but no love for http://www.V8Roadsters.com ?

Still a great video, but some some love for all the R&D that V8Roadsters put into this awesome kit, just saying. :whistle:

V8 Roadsters probably didn't pay for this series like Summit did but no doubt this would be much more difficult without the excellent, bolt-on ingenuity of V8 Roadsters.

BTW, an LS3 in a Miata is nuts. In my ride, I'm still losing traction in second at full throttle and mine weighs a thousand pounds more. I think a Miata with an LS3 would be better served tuned down in which case an LS1 makes more sense if you can call a V8 Miata sensical at all.
