1990 Miata Heavily Modified with LS1 V8 Swap

For sale is my 1991 Mazda Miata that I spent years modifying almost every inch of. I built it intending to have a "street legal" track ready monster but I just don't have time to drive it so sadly it has to go. Driving this car is "exciting" to say the least. Not for the faint of heart.

Parts/Work done includes:

-Fully stripped down to bare chassis, cleaned and seam welded and then seam sealed prior to paint
-Flyin Miata ("FM" from here on out) Frame Rail reinforcements
-Miatacage.com weld in 6 point cage with dash bar and custom brackets to attach to A pillars and door sill for added rigidity
-Autokonexion fiberglass fastback roof
-OMP seats with 6 point harnesses
-MOMO alcantra steering wheel with quick release
-Wink 5 panel rear view mirror
-Custom abs door cards to clear cage
-V8Roadsters ("V8R" from here on out) front subframe for LS1 swap
-Freshly rebuilt LS1 with a brand new block just over 1000kms on rebuild
-V8R aluminium radiator with dual fans
-Catch Can
-LS3 intake plenum
-Maf delete
-Custom 4" cold air intake
-COMP XFI RPM High Lift Cam (part #54-426-11)
-COMP Valve spring kit (part #26925TS-KIT)
-V8R 1-3/4" long tube headers
-3" fully aluminum exhaust from headers back with x pipe and aluminium mufflers and v-band connections (really really light!)
-V8R Clutch kit
-Tilton throw out bearing with remote bleeder in engine bay
-V8R bell housing to mate the LS1 to a Ford T5 transmission
-T5 Transmission with Astro Performance close range 1-4 gear set
-MGW adjustable short shifter
-V8R aluminium driveshaft
-Cadillac CTS-V LSD rear end
-Modified stock rear subframe with V8R bracket to accept the CTS-V rear end differential
-V8R axles
-V8R Tubular control arms on all four corners
-V8R 12 way single adjustable coil overs all 4 corners with 600lb springs in front and 800lb in the rear
-V8R 4-piston Willwood Dynalite big brake kit front and rear - This car will make your nose bleed it stops so fast.
-Brake proportioning valve located in cockpit
-Brake booster from a 929
-Supermiata 15x8 6UL wheels with Nitto NT01 R-compounds (225/45ZR15) only just over 1000kms on tires
-Oil cooler with remote filter mount in engine bay
-Canton Racing Accusump (I think its the 3-quart) oil accumulator for pre-oiling and peace of mind in case of low oil pressure relief for high g cornering
-Baffled 7 quart oil pan
-Proper conversion to manual steering rack
-V8R power steering pump delete bracket and pulley
-ATI Superdamper underdrive pulley
-V8R fuel kit
-"Car of the Year" NASCAR Carbon Fiber rear wing with custom mounts
-Painted "hot rod black" by yours truly good from 10 or so feet (less if you take your glasses off)
-Fiberglass bolt on flares (one is slightly damaged) installed over body that was cut and welded solid to increase space to fit 10" rims that I never got around to buying
-Supermiata front air dam and custom undertray/splitter that is not installed (was low and scraped on the street)
-Probably lots of other stuff I've missed



Issues: Wipers need adjusting and horn needs rewiring. Car does not have an e-brake. Car wants to kill you at all times so please be careful. Interior is bare-bones and ride is harsh and stiff. Your body will be sore after a drive. Car is hot and loud and doesn't care what you think.



Motor was wired and then dyno tuned from scratch at K&M in Abbotsford. It makes 350hp and 350tq to the wheels so accounting for 15% drive train loss it made ~400hp. It makes 250tq at 2500rpm!

The car weighs 2400lbs wet without me in it.

That's 6 lb/hp. Compare to:
6.3 lb/hp (2016 Porsche GT3 RS)
5.8 lb/hp (2015 Ferrari 458 Italia)

This car accelerates, brakes, and corners faster than you will ever think about driving it.



No test drives. If you show me lots of interest and have cash in hand I will give you a ride provided it's not raining out.

No offers or negotiation will occur over email or text or phone prior to you viewing the car in person.

$29,999 OBO for the whole turn-key package.
$19,999 OBO and I keep the long block motor, wiring harness, and ecu.

I have a trailer and can deliver in a reasonable radius.

Car will be listed until xmas or so and then I'll just part it out. Please do not ask about parts now.
