Eff my apartment complex/Miata motor Festiva build

[Cooter]

I'm not dissing it. I'd rock the shit out of that clownmobile!

I was just making a funny

Nothing better than putting in on a M3 from a dig on the street.

I didn't think they were that quick from a dig.

Don, on the real, what kinda mpg will this thing get? Im SERIOUSLY thinking about building a fake SVO, because a real one is way too much gd money for a daily, but I can get a pof auto 4 banger coupe and put a turbo'd 4 pot in it for 5-6 grand all said and done, and it will look like, well, not a Festiva... If I went Grayhorse or 91coupe'esq on the interior I could prob get it down to 2400 lbs... my friend had a GR40 SVO that John Griggs built and owned a while that weighed like 2350 or so.

Just put one of the newer 3.7L n/a motors in it. Lighter, about the same money, almost 300whp, and it will sip 87 octane gasoline for 150K miles trouble free.

I think it's kick ass to see something different being built.

Turbocoupe turbos aim the downpipe elbow directly at the block. Boo.



So I fixed it.

[Wicked SVO]

i like the turbo. I tought you would have at least taken the old duct tape off

or called a brother...


looking good dude. You've come a long way since snapping socket wrenches in the driveway of your old house. Wish I could be there to help with the project.

3.9 second 0-60 in stock form for the DCT, and low to mid 4.x for the manual. Not mind-numbing, but they get out of the hole alright.
