Any input on an LS1 powered Miata? It would be primarily for a fun project car to drive on the weekend with the occasional autocross or track day.
I'm getting bored again and weighing this versus another 4th gen (LS1 powered) or a turbo miata. |

What I like about the E36 M3 LSX swap is it's bolt in with the help of a kit. Wiring is simple. And you're starting with an amazing platform. It was voted the best handling car of the 90's. Another plus is the M engine sells for a pretty penny.
Even starting with a regular 3 series like roost said would be a blast. Same prices as miata's. |
