  • Well, I had no idea what I was in for the day I decided to build a big power Miata. Everyone's journey will be a little different, some more difficult than others! Great learning experience, but I'm happy I can move on to other parts of the car.

    Greg: "I don't even have words to describe how happy I was"
    Also Greg: "THIS IS THE SMOOTHEST 'bad word #11' MIATA EVER BUILT"

    1st gen V Owners:
    "This diff sucks, I have to install a 2nd gen diff or swap in an 8.8."
    TheCarPassionChannel:
    "I'll take that glass diff off your hands for my Miata."

      Tvs 1900 SC kit, trans and diff swap ordered. I'll be posting some content on here with it when it's up and running again. ( Miata 6spd gearbox crapped out on me). Parts are supposedly 1 mo. Out

    I have watched you do many jobs on your Miata. My favorite was the series on your skilled rebuild of the VVT engine. Aside from that, Greg, I had no doubt you would sort out whatever you chose and whatever was needed next. Thanks man. Loved your OMG OMG response as you drove it. Very cool reaction to a successful job.

  • @Epiphonech
    @Epiphonech 4 года назад +1

    Makes me happy that you finally found the right solution after all struggles you experienced and shared with us! :D
    Now it would be very interesting to see a sum-up of making reliable BP turbo 400whp when doing it with right parts versus just an ordinary V8 swap completed with matching and reliable drivetrain upgrade.
    What is the cost from jumping from 250 to 400whp really, street and track reliable? How much does this power jump affect maintenance cost and consumables mer mile? Cause if you build on budget you want also run it moderately cheap too.
    You didn’t mention the chosen ratio of new diff while comparing it to miatas 3.9 and cost. New ratio mentioned in 9:33
