Daaaamn!  :good: That's about as sleeper as you can get! They didn't even change the wheels, so no one would suspect a thing, awesome!

Well they might suspect something when they heard this:

Probably not as good handling as the original, but what a beast. That engine in such a little car? Lol, I can imagine all the people getting owned at the lights who think this is a regular mx-5.  :lol:

I would have thought the engine bay to be more packed, but it's spacious still. Ofcourse the engine can't be even a half a centimeter longer :D

That awesome!  I love how completely stock the car looks.  I would shit my pants if that thing pulled up next to me at a light and I heard a noise like that come out of a car that looks like that!

Reminds me of the Monster Miatas that used Ford V8s.  There used to be one in my town that I could hear from a mile away.  Never got a chance to race him though  :no: :(

Maybe if you're in Europe ;)

But here with the amount of LS1's laying around, if you had the skills to swap it in, you would in a second.

What a machine... Power to weight would be pretty good... They should but an underbonnet blower on it.. It'd make 300-350kw easy! Over here they have the underbonnet kits for like $4k installed
