I think I should provide more information about the car. This is not a "race car" in the literal sense of the word. It's a normal road car. I drove it to the event and back home afterwards. It's parked on a driveway waiting for the next adventure. No matter what it is: a road trip, a trackday, a gymkhana, drifting, nurburgring, you name it. It has no specific purpose, apart from providing a joy of driving. It wasn't optimised to be outright the fastest car out there, it was optimised to be a great fun whatever it does. And yes, I like the oversteer quite a bit :)
Now think about this a 6.0 Ls V8 buttttt cut in half so its only a 3.0L V4 ½LS & THEN sequentially turbo'd to say 600hp (easily achievable ) ppl Turbocharging a 4.8Ls can get 800 on a bone stock internals. An 1200hp on a 6.0L Ls , an Texas Speed engine builder's get 1500 -1700 outa a 7.0 . Back to the V4 IT would weigh at least 100lbs less an be way better for Mx5 50/50 weight.
Daaaaayummmm that's a clean build...at just over 2500lbs with 450HP you've effectively made a Japanese version of the TVR Griffith 500 equivalent. 🤜🏿🤛🏿💯🎯
Miata guy for life. This one has a particular style to it. depending on the angle I see hints of mini supra, I see hints of a flattened Porsche and of course as always rx-7 jr.
WOW Badass Miata! This thing is a amazing looking monster! I think it's the first time when i see a Miata that actually looks hardcore. The little sweet thing hit the gym, HARD!
The car is not properly sorted, it shouldn't be understeering at all, it has some suspension issues for sure. Miatas that are set up right don't have mid corner antics like that.
@@HillClimbMonsters but also like just spectacular in the re design, I’ve shared this video repeatedly to my friends ahahah And actually come to thing I find myself sharing specifically your posts quite often! 🤪🙏🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Nice build man had a NA Miata you got the NB with the 1.8 l. I prefer jdm motors over muscle but I gotta say it's great man especially for what your using this thing for.

Always good to have the very owner of the Monster shown providing some Extra Context 👌
Your car is beautiful! What is the widebody kit on it?
It's an incredible piece of work!...
And you know how to pedal it mate👌nice car,well driven🤲
That’s what makes it even more enjoyable to watch. The sight, the sound, the oversteer. It’s perfect.
Wow, that engine bay is immaculate!
Matches the outside perfectly 👌
Totally agree. Holy moly.
@@Not.The.Avg.Smitty agreed! I love the whole car!
Exquisite Build Quality for sure..
@@HillClimbMonsters absolutely! It's a dream setup for me!
One of the best looking mx5
As clean as they get..
it looks too much like a porsche and those are ugly cars
It's like baby dodge viper with that engine and body kit. Very nice job
No.
@@joe125ful no what?
@@nsreid88 Its not baby viper at all..
@@joe125ful ok fine. Thanks for that
Yes
The bodykit suits the car sooo well
Man I wish my country wasn't so damn strict about engine swaps, a hotrod like this is just what I'd order to cure my depression.
Where r u from...???
India?
I've heard it even resolves ED.
@@obedantonio9962 Norway
@@anipriyagopu858 No, Norway
that engine bay is the definition of 'nicely done'
That throttle control is immaculate. Dude is driving on the very end of grip and slip
Miatas make everyone a hero. It's why I've owned 3....
beautiful lines on that bodykit
Right? It evokes the glory days of rotary.
That looks like a really fun set up MX5. Love how he can steer it on the throttle
H-Pattern, Throttle induced sliding...As pure as it gets..
I love the idea of shoehorning an LS into an MX-5. That looks like a lot of fun to drive!
and it's a stick too. That's a dream drive
Proper H-Pattern rowing goodness ;)
I'm amazed how little it understeers... thats like the perfect setup if you get it right (which apparently they did) gorgeous engine bay too! Love it.
When a car guy builds a car exactly how they like it. Pure awesome on wheels.
Now that's a MX-5 I actually desire!

@@DaVe-iSnOtHoMe.MaN.LemmingsWeB idk if cutting a v8 in half is a good idea..
@@DaVe-iSnOtHoMe.MaN.LemmingsWeBSure a V4 can easily reach 600hp, but it would be far less reliable.
Beautiful under the bonnet
ULTRA clean
Doesn't even look like a miata, that kit made it look so good.
Closer to Viper now :P
I can’t figure out which body kit this is. Can you help me?
Daaaaayummmm that's a clean build...at just over 2500lbs with 450HP you've effectively made a Japanese version of the TVR Griffith 500 equivalent. 🤜🏿🤛🏿💯🎯
that car is likely 2800 or more without driver, but yeah definitely fun!
Supra in the front viper from the rear and corvette on the middle. Whay a beautiful engine bay
Man he’s done an incredible job with that engine swap! So clean under the bonnet and I love the subtle bodywork changes 👌🏻🙂
Very nice little beast👍🏾! Reminds me of a scaled down 911 993 at some angles 😅.
I had the same thought.
Oh man I haven't seen Mantas' Miata in a while, he's got an LS now? And gotta give credit where it's due, that engine bay work is CLEAN. Love that guy
I remember that time he won a gymkhana in this thing, when it had 200hp in a supercharged 1.8l
What an absolute beast. Everything about that car is perfect, the look the sound the handling (yes even the oversteer) Awesome just awesome
My man Mantas killing it. This guy singlehandly destroyed a drifting champion (Daigo Saito) and Ken Block (among others) in the same event.
Miata guy for life. This one has a particular style to it. depending on the angle I see hints of mini supra, I see hints of a flattened Porsche and of course as always rx-7 jr.
That engine bay is perfect. Not expecting that clean and neat.
I love the bodywork on this thing it looks so subtle but sooo damn good
I just full on busted 🎉
Rarely do you see a crazy good miata plus a crazy and super skilled driver. This was 🔥🔥🔥
可愛い女の子と思って近いたら黒煙を吹く真っ赤な闘牛だったくらいの衝撃
化け物めw(褒め言葉)
2535 lbs with 450 HP
Thats 5.6 lbs per HP that is Insane
That is a PERFECT example. Would love to have an hour behind the wheel!
really love the cinematic panning
Whats the name of that widebody kit? I absolutely love it.
WOW Badass Miata! This thing is a amazing looking monster! I think it's the first time when i see a Miata that actually looks hardcore. The little sweet thing hit the gym, HARD!
this guy knows how to build a car. this thing looks incredible.
Any understeer is fixed by throttle, just perfect ❤
The car is not properly sorted, it shouldn't be understeering at all, it has some suspension issues for sure. Miatas that are set up right don't have mid corner antics like that.
I hate LS swaps, but this is still one of the sickest Miatas I’ve ever seen! Definitely the best aero on a Miata for sure
🔥❤🔥 Beautiful "little" red monster!!!!!😉👍👌
Thanks a lot!!!
🙏😌
I’m building an LS swap miata. Been in the dumps about it lately. I needed this video.
One of the coolest cars ive seen, perfection 💪💪💪
Looks extremely stable and well balanced considering how much weight is in the front.
By far the coolest rx-5 I’ve ever seen…
Beautiful work looks like Completely different vehicle,
MX-5*

Dayum this is wild for sure !

Something like an AC Cobra 🎉
Insane lap and wicked swap!
Finally, a Mazda I would own (besides a 3rd Gen RX-7). Love the powerslides!!!
I’ve respected miatas for a long time, but I suddenly want one. Hot damn
Red NB SE MX5 owner here. Would love to know what manufacturer the wide body kit is.
It’s 🔥
VAZZ Corp. It's actually his company.
I enjoyed my conversion in the early 2003-2009 period. Ls6 383 448 whp/442rwtq 2400lbs
Now that was rad
This car is an all rounder in the truest sense of the word
THIS is the only Miata I would ever like to own 😊
One of the slickest miatas I've ever seen.
It’s a baby Viper! 🥹
That's how a car should be done. Clean and fast.
I approve this message
Who doesn´t at this point? ;)
Very slick car .job well done and sound lovely 👍
You sold me with the engine bay. Is that a commercially available body kit? Just superb
That body kit, and project is sick
1:24 that car is on RAILS! You literally said "turn" and the car turned.
I love these LS swaps...the more the merrier - LS swap the world!!!!!!... 💪🏼
Nice engine for a MX5
I told you it would fit!
Sensational 🤠👌🏼
Love the widened body!
Not a huge fan of more then 300hp on a miata but everything about this car is immaculate
So clean
It's a proper old school motor car, it's more engine than car, and that's what Sport Coupes are about.
Immaculate
It is like a modern Shelby Cobra (If it was a Ford V8 it would be more accurate but LS2 is amazing too).
Awesomeness
That is basically a modern day recipe Shelby Cobra. Obviously different brands but same principles.
A right-hand drive micro-Viper? Whew that's hot.
Yay!! a car that doesn't sound like a blender
Man i love that wing! What wing is it? i wanna buy it for my NB!
That's a sweet machine 🔥🔥🔥
What a mad little car. Like a European viper.
That thing SCOOTS! Does it have power steering?
Mallory Park's tight enough on a motorbike, never mind 450 bhp mx5!
We got some even wilder stuff there on that day ;)
One of my favourite circuits. Great video! 👍
one of the cleanest engine bays ive seen
Perfect car 😍
Tyres fighting for their lives hahaha. Love it.
Whats the rear wing?
This car looks great, dare I say much better than a stock NB
This looks like its really fun to drive
Japanese 80s Posche....back on the day Posche used VW platform
love the stock dash so cool to see
So good❤
This build is AMAZING!!!
i need to know what rear spoiler brand is
Not a jdm fan but thats a mazda id love to drive
Incredible! What bodykit is that?
Man I bet that 363 feels like a 572 in that miata
Damn, that thing looks like a lot of fun!!! 👍
No flashy canards, diffuser, splitters or a big aero wing. Just a simple clean wide bodykit.
Only 450hp from a 6.0L V8?
Such a cool car. Looks amazing as well
