Thanks Curtis! I'm totally geeked! Updates will follow, along with plenty of FS posts sprinkled in as parts come off the car. :)
I've enjoyed the FC RX7's but they are so big and heavy compared to the Miata and when I drive them back to back, it is grossly evident. The power is sweet, the power top is nice, and I like the wind characteristics of the 7 better, but it is heavy and feels very heavy driving it. Weighed the Sub yesterday, full tank of gas, rollbar, FM2 kit, stereo gear with 2 amps and fiberglass sub box, Racing beat body kit and Simpson cowl hood it came in at 2480 pounds without driver. Figure the LS swap adds 150-200 pounds, it's still going to be significantly lighter than the RX7 which (FC convertible) is 3150 without driver with the LT1 in it. It's going to be a journey, shopping for a plasma/TIG combo right now...

Wallyman, That’s awesome! I’m so very happy for you and for the Sub. Please keep us posted on the powerlist, even if it’s only a link to your threads on ls1tech every now and then. Congrats and good luck.

Powered that is! http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/1349121-yellow-submarine-goes-nuclear-ls2-t56-miata.html The entire drivetrain will be going up for sale as soon as I can get my ducks in a row on it. Need to do a compression check before it gets pulled, video tape it, and catalog all the mods since there is a lot and I forget them all. So, if you know someone looking for a rock solid 225rwhp 1.6l FM2 turbo setup on a fairly built motor with 95% of the stuff needed to make it complete (full exhaust, cooling system, water injection system, tranny, diffy), this may be the thing for them. More details to follow as I get it cataloged and figure out a price. Going to try and sell it complete to start with, since all you really need is a fuel pump and a car to stuff it into. If that doesn't go, I'll look at parting it out or maybe buy a car and stuff it in there to sell (I hate that idea tho!) This is what happens when you let me play with V8's and engine swaps. :) Wallyman
