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.
@@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! 🤪🙏🏼👌🏼👌🏼
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!
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.
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.

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
@@WeAllDieeePorsches ain't ugly my friend
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
that engine bay is the definition of 'nicely done'
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.
@@Paijo_Supaijo Norway
@@anipriyagopu858 No, Norway
beautiful lines on that bodykit
Right? It evokes the glory days of rotary.
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....
I think the V8 tourque does that in such a light car.
I love the idea of shoehorning an LS into an MX-5. That looks like a lot of fun to drive!
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..
and it's a stick too. That's a dream drive
Proper H-Pattern rowing goodness ;)
When a car guy builds a car exactly how they like it. Pure awesome on wheels.
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.
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
What an absolute beast. Everything about that car is perfect, the look the sound the handling (yes even the oversteer) Awesome just awesome
Man he’s done an incredible job with that engine swap! So clean under the bonnet and I love the subtle bodywork changes 👌🏻🙂
By far the coolest rx-5 I’ve ever seen…
Beautiful work looks like Completely different vehicle,
MX-5*

@@TheSpectralArtisan much appreciated 🤝
That engine bay is perfect. Not expecting that clean and neat.
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!
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.
I love the bodywork on this thing it looks so subtle but sooo damn good
Supra in the front viper from the rear and corvette on the middle. Whay a beautiful engine bay
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!
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
Very nice little beast👍🏾! Reminds me of a scaled down 911 993 at some angles 😅.
I had the same thought.
I just full on busted 🎉
Rarely do you see a crazy good miata plus a crazy and super skilled driver. This was 🔥🔥🔥
Dayum this is wild for sure !
really love the cinematic panning
One of the coolest cars ive seen, perfection 💪💪💪
So clean. Love watching it get loose in the corners
🔥❤🔥 Beautiful "little" red monster!!!!!😉👍👌
Thanks a lot!!!
🙏😌
Whats the name of that widebody kit? I absolutely love it.
My man Mantas killing it. This guy singlehandly destroyed a drifting champion (Daigo Saito) and Ken Block (among others) in the same event.
this guy knows how to build a car. this thing looks incredible.
Finally, a Mazda I would own (besides a 3rd Gen RX-7). Love the powerslides!!!
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)
Insane lap and wicked swap!
This car is an all rounder in the truest sense of the word
I’m building an LS swap miata. Been in the dumps about it lately. I needed this video.
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.
I love these LS swaps...the more the merrier - LS swap the world!!!!!!... 💪🏼
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
Now that was rad
One of the slickest miatas I've ever seen.
Very slick car .job well done and sound lovely 👍
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.
That body kit, and project is sick
I remember that time he won a gymkhana in this thing, when it had 200hp in a supercharged 1.8l
That's how a car should be done. Clean and fast.
Sensational 🤠👌🏼
I’ve respected miatas for a long time, but I suddenly want one. Hot damn
THIS is the only Miata I would ever like to own 😊
That's a sweet machine 🔥🔥🔥
Awesomeness
Looks extremely stable and well balanced considering how much weight is in the front.
love the stock dash so cool to see
So clean
Damn, that thing looks like a lot of fun!!! 👍
This build is AMAZING!!!
That is a PERFECT example. Would love to have an hour behind the wheel!
Love the widened body!
Something like an AC Cobra 🎉
Such a cool car. Looks amazing as well
You sold me with the engine bay. Is that a commercially available body kit? Just superb
I told you it would fit!
I wish the fast back Miatas were a standard trim back in the day, they look gorgeous
Immaculate
It’s a baby Viper! 🥹
I approve this message
Who doesn´t at this point? ;)
I enjoyed my conversion in the early 2003-2009 period. Ls6 383 448 whp/442rwtq 2400lbs
Man i love that wing! What wing is it? i wanna buy it for my NB!
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.
This looks like its really fun to drive
Nice engine for a MX5
Perfect car 😍
2535 lbs with 450 HP
Thats 5.6 lbs per HP that is Insane
one of the cleanest engine bays ive seen
Tyres fighting for their lives hahaha. Love it.
What a mad little car. Like a European viper.
So good❤
This car looks great, dare I say much better than a stock NB
That is a vicious build!
Yay!! a car that doesn't sound like a blender
Not a huge fan of more then 300hp on a miata but everything about this car is immaculate
It's a proper old school motor car, it's more engine than car, and that's what Sport Coupes are about.
Minivettes are amazing
Well that thing looks rowdy!
A right-hand drive micro-Viper? Whew that's hot.
Man I bet that 363 feels like a 572 in that miata
1:24 that car is on RAILS! You literally said "turn" and the car turned.
So beautiful... scared to ask how much money was poured into it to make it happen
Did you do something in particular to not have the rear slide everywhere?
I guess that with all that wait on the front the car is really tail happy
Not a jdm fan but thats a mazda id love to drive
That thing SCOOTS! Does it have power steering?
I'm more interested in how the chassis was upgraded to handle all those g forces
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! 👍
It is like a modern Shelby Cobra (If it was a Ford V8 it would be more accurate but LS2 is amazing too).
