One more step forward towards an lsx swap...
Hey guys, some of you may recognize my screen name from other miata and car related forums.. My name is Ken, and I'm from the Baltimore area, I'm on my second miata at this point, the first was a turboharged 2000 that I reently sold to a guy from chicago so I could pay off some bills and hopefully free up some cash, as I am moving into a new home in December.
The mods list is rather long for my former Miata, but the important stuff is a Turbonetics t3/t4 turbo, Hydra nemesis ECU, and 292 whp. Here are some pics, feel free to ask any questions about the car...
My current Miata is a 1991 base model that only had 16 thousand miles when I purchased it. It currently has nearly 40k on the odometer. It's been a great little car, but I'm itching for more power! Currently, the only mods done to the car are a voodoo shift ****, and an ebay special catback, along with an 8lb flywheel.
This car will be my V8 swap project in the future, I plan on going with an Ls motor, and most likely the V8roadsters swap kit. I plan on accumulating parts over the next year or so, and when I have the car paid off, i'll grab myself a beater and start the swap. It's also possible I might purchase someone elses already swapped car should the opportunity arise, as I don't really have a garage in which to do the swap..
I'm here to learn as much as I can from others experiences, and I'm looking forward to my stay!

Welcome! A clean low mile donor like that one is a very good starting point. The garage thing may not be a big a deal as you think, I know someone here who built the last half of his car under nothing but a carport!
