    Hi, just here to have some fun with like minded owners

    My goal is a 13b n/a motor swap. It probably wont happen for a while but ? I can dream right?

    its possible but it requires a lot of custom fab skills. If you think your up to it go for it.

    nah im too lazy, I need a swap kit, (still in the dreaming stage) but ive looked and not seen much. I was told V8Roadsters makes a subframe swap that can use the 13B, does anyone know about that one?

    the subframe they make I think is more about freeing up space then being tailor fitted to a set engine. However if it does the job why not?

    Your cockpit looks sumptuous in the avatar pic. I love that NB trim color. I'm a rotary fan, having owned a few, but I wouldn't recommend installing one in a Mx-5. Boosting your current engine is so much easier than one off custom swap.
