^Thats awesome.
What did it use if not a four-speed gearbox?
PPC - Put a V8 in it!
A 3spd, it says that next to Gearbox in the Engine section of the poster

And a 4speed as a factory installed option.

So it does ¬_¬
Heaters were optional too, I wonder if in the future all cars will have sat-nav as standard (since air-con is now standard on all but the cheapest cars/and BMWs where EVERYTHING is optional)

Haha, this thread is filled with great ignorance - then again, UCP has developed quite a reputation for itself over the past couple of years.
What does that mean? Who'd you clarify what that reputation is about.Originally Posted by midnightdorifto

Alright, I read the whole thread - got to page two before it was for sheer entertainment purposes only.
My findings -
- Miatas should not be modified for more power as it would disrupt the universal time-space continuum. They are beings of perfect balance and have zero flaws. Some reformed Hindus actually worship Miatas instead of cows.
- 405bhp is too much for any mere mortal to handle. And no matter how the car is put together, everyone who posts in this thread has extensive knowledge about how the hybrid Miata handles and how the power is delivered. But we can all make broad generalizations and assumptions.
- 90lbs is automatically perceptible in how well the car handles to everyone in this thread, because we are all FIA-licensed drivers with 10+ years of experience in the racing world. And especially because we're all engineers with degrees in chassis dynamics.
- Doing a motor swap makes you an ignorant 'merikun. Because all they do is drag race. That's due to the fact the country is geographically more spread out.
You gentlemen are all shooting from the hip, in essence. Not a damn one of you has any idea how this thing drives, nor do you know the additional modifications to the car. But hey, I'd better get back to lurking since it really isn't my place to troll. I don't want to offend anyone, but after reading this thing, I can't help but stand back and wonder how little intellect actually is harnessed by the members here. IWantAnAudiRS6 - the ignorance is displayed by virtually everyone in this thread, minus a select few, regardless of which side of the "argument" you're on (still unsure about what you folks are arguing about, and I doubt most of you don't know either.)
UCP has really lost its reputation among the online automotive community as a source for information and media (though there still is a fantastic resource for it here,) and filled into a role of SC.net's bitchy little sister. But I suppose that comes with an influx of new members. I reckon this post will probably get me banned anyway, but I figured I'd be constructive while I'm here.
but it doesn't take a genius to figure that a car built for 200hp is going to have problems with 405hp, and will require extensive modification to handle said 405hp.Originally Posted by midnightdorifto

I'm not sure where you're going with this. Do you mean to say that someone who has the know-how to put together an LS6 powered Miata doesn't know how to install big brakes, a decent suspension, and sufficient chassis improvements? Or that the already taut chassis of a dedicated sports car won't handle the extra power (90lbs is less than the weight of a passenger, so we'll ignore that for simplicity's sake)?Originally Posted by clutch-monkey
Having no further information about the car, this is a pointless line of questioning.
