...and dont plan on owning one. I do have a 91' turbo miata that uses some RX7 parts and hopefully will use more later on down the road.

Currently have a T25 from an SR20 Nissan with RX7 550cc injectors. Built my own manifold and 3" downpipe. My friend built my 3" exhaust. Now dyno figures because I dont really care how much power my car makes right now. Perhaps someday in the future.

I'm hoping to soon have an RX7 oil cooler and a successful retro fit of some RX7 4 piston calipers that I got for free (not sure which chassis they are from). I'm still considering doing an RX7 clutch type diff swap but I may just eventually pony up the cash for a good aftermarket one instead.

Engine bay shots:
This is actually not how my bay looks right now, but rather how it looked while I was building a turbo manifold for someone else.


This is how my bay looks right now:


The outside of my car is in a sorry state but here is a pic anyway:

 

the outside isnt that bad. i have always liked miata's but there way to tiny. im not big or anything. i just wouldnt want to crash one.

 

What he said.

Nice to have the mechanical ability to do that type of upgrade. Really gives a sense of pride.

 

Honestly, you'd be very surprised at the crash worthiness of a roll bar equipped maita. They are pretty stout little cars and i've know people who have been in every type of wreck from T-bone, rear ended (both the rear ender and rearendee) and even flipped end over end at 100+mph. All survived with no more injury than you'd sustain from any other car from the same era in similar type accidents.

A buddy of mine actually got rear ended by a big flat bed hauling concrete. He was at a stop light and got sandwiched into the truck in front of him which was a late 70's ford. The passenger compartment was very well intact and he was fine.

 

Thanks guys! I'm going to lurk and read around here for a bit. I've never wanted to take on the unreliability of rotaries but perhaps there are some myths about them that could be dispelled from my mind if I just did some reading. I wouldn't mind adding another mazda to the stable the more I think about it...

 

Looks really cool.

Always wanted a Miata, but I got an RX7 instead ^-^

 

Nice Miata.

Also, my FB RX7 and my NB Miata are really not that far off in size.

My RX7 Dimensions...
65" Wide, 50" Tall, 169" Long

My Miata...
66" Wide, 48" Tall, 158" Long

 

oh nevermind. i just figured they would get murcked in a crash. ha. i dont wanna crash a 7. seems like everytime someone crashes one, its totalled.

 

Nice car. I am a big fan of the Miata.
