My my my!!! You are a talented fellow. Makes me feel silly about what I am attempting... Everything you did was correct, and top notch! You are really an incredible fabricator. I wish you were in Washington so I could come drool in person.

Well, I am ready to start my 83. It will be no where near this level, but I am doing it to my budgetary and skill constraints. Hope it is a tenth of what you have done here...
I am pulling the dead rotory out this weekend. Any tips for a first timer?

I never thought I'd say this about an RX with a V8.. Bro, Hands down. This is just Ridiculous in the best of ways. Everything is just perfect. Keep up the good work. We are freaking enjoying every step of this swap..

Here is a video from an autox in 2009, back when I was using Koni Challenge slicks on my 17" wheels. Man, those tires really sucked.

Here is an autox video from 2010 on street tires. It was a test and tune and I wanted to compare my FD to my 350Z both on the same tires. I'm the guy with the flat black helmet, in the drivers seat of the Miata at first (showing my buddy how its done in his own car). The yellow 350z is mine as well, but in the video its a friend of mine driving it.

i have a t56 from a f-body (in my FD) and have the MGW shifter and it feels like crap. have you had any trouble at all with yours? i just bought the car a few days ago so i think the guy must have messed up the install. least your pictures help me out with figuring what he did wrong. great build!
