Amazing!
I have been playing with the same ideas myself, but then using a JDM RX7 chassis as a donor, and putting it in a Mazda 626. (yes, totaly crazy! but i love them)
How would you value the Miata VS the Rx7 as a donor? Im thinking in terms of reliable powertrain and suspension. If i went down that road it would be a 20B sitting under the hood, and thus the RX trans and axles could be an easyer fit, and would not need a remade driveshaft.
But on the other hand, the base Miata chassi might be so much cheaper to buy that it would be a cheaper mod in the end anyways.
Do you have more project images from this? I would love a picture dump somewhere to just look at and admire the work
Also, do you want to reveal any specific engine plans...?Last edited by Zepticon; September 17, 2012, 07:14 AM.Mazda 626 GT - 2.5 V6 - KL31

Holy shit! That was a fantastic idea. My biggest worry would be making sure everything is centered and square in the probe body
What power train are you installing in it?93 Probe GT
Its not a PROBLEM. It's a PROBE LUM

What power train are you installing in it?
They are - I've set my tolerances at +/- 1.5 mm, which is less than the adjustment available in the subframe mounting holes.
Don't know on powertrain yet, though the easy one is forced induction KL (either twin turbo or supercharger on top).90 Mazda 323 - KLZE, fender-flared, right hand drive, 2350 lb fully loaded sex machine. || Pic Thread ||- SOLD
