LS2 V8 Miata Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Been a while since I've posted in here. I was a little occupied building a new shop, but now I'm back on trying to finish this car for Spring Cruisin'. Pulled one of my old Vids off You-Tube and JUST Posted this New one, hope you guys like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTe_7oFeaQ It's more Gear-Headoriented Photos only, original music for fun. If you have a high enough speed connection, view it in HQ cause all the photos are high rez. Regards - Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 It has been a while, good to see all is well in the desert. Nice vid, cool music. My brother is pushing me to come out to Tucson soon. If I do it would be cool to come up and see your shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Great video! I like the tech parts too--very informative to see how you guys mod the Miatas. Do you like your LS1 Miata better than the Ford V8? Should I even ask?? Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS2 V8 Miata Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Deja you're welcome anytime, I'd love to see your car and I can map you out once in a life-time, really fun, Arizona scenic routes for your "Z" you'll never forget. To clarify, the "shop" in my video is at my son-in-law's house in Gilbert, about 125 miles south of me, I live in the mountains and my "shop" at home here is my little one car garage. Thanks for the always positive comments Davy. Since I started my project as a one-off, design / fab everything, there have emerged two, New LSX Miata conversion Kit manufacturers, V8 Roadsters and Boss Frog. These Kit guys are also using the Cadillac CTS Getrag rear-end, besides the Ford 7.5 and 8.8 rears, kit production quality is excellent too, I just don't like how they sacrifice ground clearance. My project still isn't on the road, however the Ford versus Chevy question is easy. The Fords can reach the general performance of the "Stock" LS motors by spending money and significant modifications. The Fords seem to suffer the loss of initial economy and reliability issues when pushed too far in Mods. The performance HP and torque curves are very similar between Ford and Chevy small block when modded, however the "Linear" HP and Torque of even the "Stock" LS motor's is incredible with Max HP happening as low as 4400 RPMs!! The "Brand" choice for most enthusiasts will probably STILL remain at Gut Level and Personal Opinion I suspect! I am and will always remain a "Z" lover, I miss having a "Z" and if I had more money an LSX-Z would definately be in my future! Thanks again you guys, your friendship is appreciated!
