Lee, it's good to see/hear the LS2 running in the Miata/MX5/Roadster.

It's 11.30pm here & I ve just woke up the entire neighbourhood with the sound of your motor - I guess that's the joy of having a sub on your PC

What you going to call her?.....come-on, you have to give her a name!

[LS2 V8 Miata]

I know you're right, but honestly I haven't given it much thought. I'm still a little shocked, I've finally finished it.

Thanks for your comments!

[Combover]

That sounds magic! Have you driven it in anger yet?

What's it like to drive?

[roverspeed]

Awesome!

Sound of that is unreal.

Is that silenced?

[LS2 V8 Miata]

No I haven't really hammered it yet, the last thing I'm installing is a skid-plate protecting the oil-pan and trans. My Ford 5.0 V8 Miata buddies have seen some nasty under-chassis damages I'm looking to avoid.

NO the sound is from open headers, except there is about 36" of Nascar oval, dual exhaust tubing after the collectors. No muffler installed, to be done tommorrow with dual 3" Flowmaster super 44s

I set-up the Video camera far enough away (zoom lens) so as to capture the sound without over-blasting the microphones

Good work! Now what'd I get if I combined both mine... (sadly not LS2 though!)

[tybo]

Oh my...

[tuttle]

oooerrr missus.... that is shockingly AWESOME!.
That is a beautifully crammed full looking engine bay, & looks like a real tidy job. My hat's off to you, congrats fella.

[Gizmo!]

Beautiful job!

I have a suspicion that it'll probably drive like a dog, with either crazy understeer or massive power oversteer. But who gives a damn. It's a massive noisy V8 in a tiny car built in a shed.

You sure you're not British?
