|  the ugly twin
Got another miata. Its project ugly twin. What should i do with it? V8 swap, turbo charge the 1.6, make it a 1:1 rc, make it a v8 twin turbo 1:1 rc?????  The possibilities are endless. I could have the coolest old man/girl car ever.   |

Sounds like you may have a sickness.. I can't say I blame you. Anyone who dogs on Miata's has never properly flogged on one. When I'm an old man I want one with a limited slip and a six speed. |

5.3 ls motor,single turbo,drag radials on the stock wheels(maybe),throw a "quiet" muffler on it because turbo cars (for the most part) are not that loud to begin with,ultimate sleeper .have fun whomping on mustangs.hotrod magazine did a 5.3 with a home made single turbo kit and a 150,000+miles motor,plus some other minor bolt on's that you can make 500+hp for under 3,000 smakaroo's

I have a 94 and 96, one runs great in good shape, one waiting for a rotary swap! Too bad my svt focus gets all the attention.

go with some traditional mazda, give it the wankel! There's nothing like sound of 9000rpm on a twin rotor.
