After alot of thinking, I realized a rotary miata is the perfect car for me bacause...



1.Total sleeper

2. rotary+mita=fierce combination

3. unique

4. 50/50 blance and can get less than 2000 lbs



I've thought about it for a while and considered it. My dad is gonna give me the gsr he drives now when I turn 18 and eventually, he'll let me do whatever I want with it and I can sell it for maybe $8,000 which is enough for the rotary miata. I'm a youngster, but I'm not dumb and I know what it's gonna take to get this... blood, sweat and tears. But it'll be great at the end.



By the way, I'm new here, I'll be asking ALOT of questions, I hope I don't bother anyone

Theres an article in a magazine I have where someone here in Aus did it. Its definetly not an easy thing to do, from memory, it was damn near impossible. If I get a chance I'll post some info from the article up.

i think a lot of people make it harder than it needs to be. if you cant keep the stock tranny (you can, with an fc bellhousing) all you need are motor mounts to get it mounted

Let me get some info. My buddy was going to do it a while back instead of putting a TD04 on his miata and we had got some info from 2 different shops that

the mounts are the same, and pretty much a drop in. Granted Im pretty sure you had to keep the tranny for the FC, and do some cutting for the shifter, and also get a drive shaft on some car...



Let me get some info, granted these were drifter shops (if you know about dirfter shops then you know what i mean) so I dont know how good the info was... I can look into it.
