You guys should know by now that I don mess around when it comes to my AI, I go all in all the time. But righ now I smell like old gas, recycled beer cans, broken miata lovers dreams. I will update the thread for the weekends progress for those not on the snapchat after I take a long rear end shower and chill for a bit.

The LSA one that Flyin Miata is putting together already looks like the most poo poo-terrifying car that you can imagine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqbWDPua7a4 I guess I can forgive you smashing up a rust-free shell if making something faster than this is what results.

It will make over 1000hp at the wheels is the goal, and I have enough turbo for for 1200-1400 wheel. But I'm not sure I will get much past 1k with the 80lb/hr injectors even at the high base file pressure of the LS motors. I have been looking into buying a built long block 427ci Orange block LSX motor with the six bolt per cylinder head to cope wit the big boost I will be pushing.

What you are building is less a car and more a demon-posessed machine created to destroy tires at a heretofore unheard of rate. Also, it will occasionally murder people. Not kill them in a crash, but straight up murder people for fuel.

If you're looking for people to put in your will I feel like we've really bonded over the last few weeks and will happily treat the STI to the manner in which it has become accustomed.

Jesus. What size tire do you plan to run? I'm always amazed that people do V8 swaps into miatas with 225 width tires and they get any traction at all. I had 195s on my turbo miata and that was nowhere near enough.

I really want to put the rpf1's from the Subaru on there. They are 17x10 and have 255 rs-3's on them. But need to figure out how to do a nice 5 lug conversion. Maybe I'll make some new centers for the 15x18 truck wheels that I still have and pro street it all around lol.

Ok lets try this again. I didn't do any actual work on the exocet with the trips to the vet for the sick kitty, but finished stripping the miata donor and hauled it off. My brother helped me finish clearing out the interior bits and my dad took the cop car to borrow a trailer from his friend while we took the last pieces off. the only thing left attached to the body is the windshield, it cracked when I tried to remove it. All stripped and ready to load in the trailer. (note the nice quarters)  We were doing pretty good lifting it up there with just the three of us but got it wedged between the trailer rails. As luck would have it a truck of landscapers drove by looking and stopped. We turned around to 5 guys asking if we needed help. It was a piece of cake with the extra help and we got it ready to go. This is the type of think I bought a truck for, which is starting production today!  This is where I broke the hears of the miata loving AI snapchatters. We took turns with my 20lb sledge hammer and wailed on the back of the car. Because why not, and who doesn't like smashing hings? So off to the metal recyclers and like a responsible person I had my license, title, plate and current registration for the miata with me. However I forgot that AZ requires the title notarized for transfers, and it seemed that nobody was able to do this at the scrap yards. The other kicker is that I need to show proof of ownership of all the parts that went in to building the exocet when I go to get it inspected and registered, and was told that I should have the title for the donor. Due to our locale being close to the border and such, the cops are pretty strict with these scrappers and check every other day for stolen cars and such that people might want to crush and get rid of. So after going to like 6 places in the area and not being able to get rid of it I started calling around finally found a place that would take it without notarizing the title or making me go to the DMV and get a dismantled title for it to give to them first. At it's final resting place.  At this point it was getting dark and the trailer had no working lights since it had a big round plug and the crown vic was wired up with the flat 4 pin harness. So it was time to rush back and drop the trailer off before I needed headlights and got the trailer rear ended or a ticket. I made it back ok, and $37.50 richer. And to top it off when pulling out from the dirt road I decided to floor it and do a nice slide for my brother which turned into a 1-3 gear rolling burnout for over a quarter mile. It was pretty bad rear end and I didn't know the cop car could do that. it left a hell of a cloud behind us and the rest of the trip smelled like tire smoke.  And now a moment of silence for the car I destroyed, I am a Monster...

Look how much extra space I have now that the miata is gone.  Now I just need to sell off all the leftover miat parts to free up the lift.

It is super ghetto right now so I'm thinking I will will finish slapping it together to dick around in the neighborhood and then tearing it back down to put the v8 in and make it nice in January when I can have some real time off to get into it. Front break lines are done, but I still need to do the rear. Then bleed the the lines and clutch and it will be time to piss off the neighbors with a open header 1.6L

It!s here!!! I went and gave it a quick once over before work, it had just came off the truck and need to be cleaned up still.    The paint guy will drop by today to give me a quote on painting the bumpers, headlight filler panels, and grill to get rid of the chrome.
