Turbo LS swapped miata

Looks like a solid build.. NMNA  might be swinging for the fences on price...

I cant imagine a 225 tire is nearly enough :D

In reply to Fueled by Caffeine :

Curious why you think it is too much $$$?

Cant build it for anywhere close to that, and if the test drive pans out as still being mechanically sound, that is a lot of development effort that you wont have to fund as you would having built your own version.

cause I'm cheap...

I think the price is actually pretty reasonable assuming the car presents as well in person as it does in the ad.

More under-the-radar than a C5 with the "oops I just killed myself-ability" of a first gen viper, at half the price of one.

The price seems extremely reasonable. You'd be hard pressed to do a plain LS swap for that much, let alone adding boost

I'm ok with the price.  IMO it would be a better car if you junked the turbo. It could make just as much power with a cam swap.

The "coilover suspension" and complete lack of brake upgrades are slightly concerning but it looks like a heckuva deal for a rocketship of a car.

I'd probably kill myself pretty quickly with it.......

I love how it looks 100% stock on the outside. Agreed, brakes and suspension would be on the short list, but honestly, that''s a lot of car for the price. 

That is a pretty good deal. Someone already did all the hard work and for that price you get to just drive it instead of build it.

Made it out on MN without this one in Tow. :) I would ditch the turbo and cam it with headers if I did bring it home though. The build thread gives a good amount of info.
