525 RWHP Miata, yep we got that.

I am a hater here yet loving every bit of it.

I was expecting a LSx swap not a 4 cylinder. Must be insane to drive.

DFW wins

That is only one....try again. The 525 is still a miata motor and there are 5 V8's in this area that I personally know....BRING IT!

Oh, but that turbo LS miata is bad ass, I'll give you that but our drag Miata is over 800 HP.


Try again!

Do I dare proclaim that Tampa is the spot for muscle miatas?

Well, he does own the 800+ Hp Miata as well.

We (Atlanta) had a 430ish hp Miata, and a few v8 swapped ones as well!

And the radiator is stock

According to FM, the MSM radiator is different, and performs a little better. Still impressive, but I've noticed very little if any cooling improvement switching out to a 55mm all aluminum radiator. The upgrade is probably more for durability than cooling. Oil cooler made a much more noticeable difference in cooling.

For all the haters................

My neighbors Miata, daily driven too! hahaha

Hello Randy if you could ask your friend. With 525hp I am curious what tranny and diferential set up|? I would like to know

Eli, come out to Miatapalooza, he will be there with at least one of his turbo Miatas, possibly both.

[HELLIONMX5]

Good lord! I would like details as well!

500hp in an FD is more fun.

I have the high HP bug. I've been driving a 380hp 180sx the past couple days for a friend... and it still feels slow.
Dailying my GC8 almost kills me a little inside.


It's like, I can never be happy again until I'm back at the big 500 in a sub 3k-lbs car

Think Speed!

[HELLIONMX5]

Wait, what's the weight diff?

Wait, what's the weight diff?

Of what?

[HELLIONMX5]

Fd and miata

FD weighs about 300lbs more.
