Default 1991 Miata with LS1/T56 track toy






If you haven't seen my thread in the conversion forum, here it is: https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...ata-build.html

Also, my website has FULL build pictures and documentation: www.swaptastic.net

I have receipts for everything.

Here is a quick (not complete) overview of all the modifications/specs:

1991 Mazda Miata chassis with about 160k miles
02 Camaro LS1/T56 from Cleveland Pick-a-part with ~32k miles (have salvage title documenting 22k miles when wrecked, I have 10k miles on it since the swap)
T56 was just professionally rebuilt with upgraded parts (synchos, keys, etc) by D&D Performance less than 600 miles ago
Ford 8.8 aluminum diff with 3.55 gear
Car was dyno'd at 328whp/355wtq
Car weighs 2550lbs with 52.3% front weight distribution
Hard dog 1.75x0.120 6-point (has door bars) roll bar with harness bars
Momo Start racing seats with 6-point harnesses
Ohlins PCV adjustable coilovers with 8/6kg springs
Flyin' Miata front sway bar
Wilwood 11" big brake kit with 4 piston front caliper, larger rear rotor with stock caliper
Racing beat body kit (front, side and rear)
Mazda factory "R" rear trunk spoiler
Custom aluminum radiator (NO cooling issues whatsoever)
15x7 Kosei K1 TS wheels and 225/45 front 225/50 rear Hankook RS2 tires

Car has been used for daily driver and occasional track and autocrossing. I have put right at 10,000 miles on the car since the swap with very limited problems. The car is very robust and shocks just about everyone who encounters it. The car is an absolute BLAST to drive, it still maintains the nimbleness of a miata but now has acceleration that beats C6 Z06.

I have built three lsx miata and everyone that knows me can attest that I build them right. The reason for selling it is to get into racing.

Go here to see lots of videos of the car in action: http://www.swaptastic.net/ls1_miata/...on_videos.html

Go here to see lots of pictures of the car: http://www.swaptastic.net/ls1_miata/..._pictures.html

Asking $23,500
