How much money does it take to swap a 1UZ-FE 4.0L V8 engine to Mazda Mx5 Miata? In this video I'm talking about build costs, parts needed, weight balance, and some other details about my Drift V8 miata build.

Keep in mind that for the scales to properly show the weight ratio, the ground has to be 100% straight and 100% level. You can get a more accurate reading by weighing the car forwards and backwards on the same ground and taking the average for each corner. That way it does not have to be 100% level. That shotgun exhaust looks great on Kevin btw

I think you have to move the left back a little up, because then you put more force on the spring and it pushes the car down. In this way you generate more force on the wheel and it doesnt wobble as much

First video I've seen from this channel, the production quality is insane. Music is good and at the correct volume, camera quality is good with good color editing in post, etc. Earned my sub. I plan on doing something similar in an NB Miata. I live in the US, so the Flyin Miata kit would be easy to get, but I don't want as much power as the LS's make for my build. This was very informative. Thanks!

Genuinely a beautiful build. I just completed a similar project for my one buddy where he needed a HUGE amount of bodywork and fabrication done on his black 350z and eventually a motor swap. Everything came out beautifully and it left my shop yesterday. When your build was complete it really inspired me to do more with my place, rather than just work on my dads jobs and my own car, it gave me the confidence to take on my own jobs such as his black z and it’s been an amazing ride and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’ve been watching you guys for forever and I’m forever grateful for the constant inspiration from your guys videos. You put so much effort into the things your doing and it seems you never sleep. And it’s completely true to keep your head down and grind, it will always show for itself. 👍

I would never add weight just to balance. Assuming you have an aftermarket LSD adds some weight in the rear. If youre correcting understeer try keeping the rear strut bars stiffer and the front more flex so the rear slides.

Gdybyś miał więcej czasu z tymi wagami mógłbyś spróbować corner balance. Różnica na tyle jest dosyć duża ale zabawa zawieszeniem mogłaby ją lekko zniwelować, a przerzucenie części wagi w ten sposób mogłoby złagodzić nierówny transfer wagi podczas przekładki dzięki czemu auto prowadziłoby Ci się pewniej/stabilniej. Włożyliście kupę roboty w Miatę więc warto by było zainteresować się takimi detalami.

Miata with a V8 is a reason to be proud of. And jealous about. Personally I'm in love with those cars, but then life comes knocking saying you can't daily drive an MX-5, as it's not as all-purpose vehicle as a daily should be. Nonetheless I feel great for you.
