So is that rainbow sticker still on there? :P

im still looking into it and im sure jd will chime in...but i think somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 whp isnt unheard of. And as of right now the sticker is still there lol

there are several of those that come to the local autocross'n in Cordele...1 or 2 have the J.R. supercharger kit on them and those cars kick some serious ass...they run like a scalded dog and sound mean as hell too...they do scream fag until u install some of those chrome rollbars/stabilizers behind the seats and throw on a nice set of rims...

They are like an LS, IMO. That's all Ari's reminded me of. Nice simple engine that does well with a little boost laid into an easy to work on RWD car.

You got the best of them by my yardstick - 94-95 NA chassis are OBD1 so you don't have to get reamed on emissions inspections, they get the 1.8 liter, and the rearend is good for almost 500 whp. The 90-91.5 1.6's have a short-nose crank that is prone to stripping keyways, and the rear end is a nancy boy.

The rear ends arent even good enough for a SR20. :'(

local guy put a SR20 in a miata, making somewhere close to 500hp. shattered the rear end ;)

Yeah, and you didn't read the thread closely:


How the f....? Something ain't right here. That rearend right there has been known to take a hella lot of twist. Even when expected to move a LOT more weight. However, it is also known to blowup, like most any other rearend, with too much shock and funny angles.
Like I said, the 1.8 Miata rear ends are good for up to 500.
