    I can respect his philosophy for this build. Some cars you chase laptimes with. Others you just want to have fun in. This is the latter. Having a nice sounding engine helps immensely. With the ITBs, this one makes a nice sound in the higher RPMs and is special with the 8000 rpm Miata engine. If I was him, it'd be a keeper for me as well.

    Beautifully built car. Lots of times when you see older imports like NA/NB Miatas, they get built with that shitbox mentality. It just goes to show you if you how great these cars can look with some vision and class. And that's not even getting into the craftsmanship of the mechanical aspects of the car. I hope my mini truck turns out looking and driving half this good.

I too would like to own a S2000 Honda, but sports cars that haven't been hammered are far and few between. I suppose mine has all the options, 5 speed, power steering, power windows, power brakes, and air conditioning. I paid $1,000 for it, 104,000 miles. The lady bought a new Miata with the folding hardtop and a six speed. She's a nurse and probably in her early 60s.

    a non-skyactiv 2.5 with a 2.3 crank is a good mazda swap. a stock 2.5 can put down 170, or 180 sometimes with a healthy example. the mazda ecus can run them pretty easily as well, so it might me a little more practical for some vs a k motor. you would need a rwd manifold, but there are a ton of cars that run them from formulas, to cossies, speed3s, all the way to sprint cars and the ecoboost stuff out there, so the motors are pretty versatile, and that swap would see a lot of stuff getting re-used from a stock miata.
