Hi everyone over the past 2 years I've been wrenching on my 90 Miata. Recently I bought a 87 rx7 n/a for it's motor. Now I'm working on building up this engine to swap into the Miata. Figured I would need a build thread over here and lurk the site for some information.

Pics of the Miata

Oh and a pic of the motor so far

 

What's the link with a FD?

 

Miata=Mini FD

Lol and then you put a FC block in it. Never mind good luck with the project.

 

scrape/ sell the miata and restore the rx7

 

Miata >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FC

 

Miata====== sissy car... lol
great for chicks but guys should just say no

 

That Miata looks clean! goodluck!

 

What kinda headlights are those?

 

Lol haters gunna hate I guess

Thanks, I've put a lot of effort into this thing to make it look so clean I'll post some before Pics soon

They are Rs active type 2 low Profile lights, very rare I searched for them for nearly 3 years to give my car the "rx7" look

 

Damn need a headlight upgrade on the fb. Very clean miata though. I always wanted to a 13bt or a rew in one.

 

Rotary Miata = WIN. Going to use the 7's tranny with the tail assembly from the Miata or use the bellhousing from the 7 on the Miata tranny?

I'm in the middle of my 13BREW swap into my miata as well.

 

I thought the miata tranny was a little bit stronger then the fc n/a one, or you must go for the T2 tranny.

 

Actually the n/a FC and Miata tranny are about the same. Big differences is when you get into the T2 and FD trannies.

 

Rotary miata FTW...good luck with your project...subscribed!!!!!

 

Ow ok, thanks for the clearout.

 

Thanks everyone, I'll be putting the fc bell housing on the Miata tranny and I'm also going to swap in the rx7s 5th gear

 

the N/A trans has an integrated bell housing(one piece casing).It doesn't come separately off the trans,like the TII bell housing does.

 

Oh really? Here's the n/a bell housing

 

Thats a pretty nice looking MX5, do you have any other plans to make it more FD like? Maybe a coupe kit?

 

Thanks as much as I would love a fastback top I probably won't get one. But I have a few more things up my sleeve
