Really Nice ride. Well done. It is clean. Did you also use the transmission built for the corvette or is the transmission you have better than the one for the Corvette?

Near the middle of the middle of middle England.
How do you keep it cool? It looks a bit tight in the engine bay. Definitely a car I would like to own.


P.S. You don't need mufflers, do you?

Looks like a blue bullet with four wheels.

Sweet ride man.

I'm grinning at the thought of that sound from the V8 coming from the unsuspecting little body of a Miata, lol.

I could imagine someone seeing that 'vette badge on the hood of the miata and thinking how much of a poser you are, until they see you screaming to 60 mph in 4 seconds. Awesome stuff man, keep us posted.

Sweet! I love the Miata V8 and V12 conversions!

Single side exhaust behind the front wheel, or run a 2.5-3 inch all the way back?

Nice, Can we get you to do a little UCP tradition for us?

Its called the egg nog ownership test - write your username on a piece of paper and stab it over the gear shift, take a photo and post it here.

That thing with no exhaust must be insanely loud! Nice work and a helluva sports car.
