I want one…I think a Miata with an LS1 would be a blast. It would need quieter exhaust just so nobody knows… ---

good luck, i’ve only seen 2 LS1 swaps on the road, the others usually run outta cash. are you going for a widebody kit to put wider tires on, or are you going for a stock look? ---

A GRAY! Call me sometime when you get a chance, let me know what’s going on. Anywho, not much of an update, but I called Mazda today and the car is number 558 out of 3,003. 🙂 In other news, there’s a ton of updates with the kit, but at the request of Racing Concepts for legal reasons (not with me,) I can’t say what happened (why he did not respond.) However, I can say that the kit should be here in two weeks. T-minus 1 month and counting until the car runs :blue: ---

Well, long story short, lots of delays (none on my end.) RacingConcepts has been one of the best places I’ve dealt with, regardless of stupid delays caused be idiotic people (outside of the company.) But, my invoice is going in the mail tomorrow, and I asked when he was hoping to have the stuff out. “Hopefully within a week.” Best I can do for now for updates, but it’s killing me to have to wait for this crap. As soon as I hear that my stuff is in the mail, the car is getting torn down and prepped. ---

Doh! What was I thinking. I have a slight update in the form of nitrous oxide. I picked up the bottle, some 4an line, a solenoid, gauge. and some other small misc from a friend (not much left in the tank.) I’ll have pics tomorrow. ---

Just saw the 302 swap yesterday on a tv show called “gearz”. Stacey David from one of the shows on pwerblock is the host. It looked pretty straight forward for how much had to be done. Hope the LS1 is as easy. Have you figured out anything for the wiring or are they making a kit for this motor too now? ---

I’m going to wire it myself, but I’m having the subframes, driveshaft, axles, etc built from a shop in Florida. I’m not concerned with the difficulty of any of it, really, I just want to get started on it. ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Nitrous.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Nitrous.jpg) ---

Update. Invoice is here, it’s getting paid for tonight/tomorrow (when I get a chance) and stuff is going to start getting shipped on Monday. So, I’m probably going to start tearing the car down soon. I can’t wait :bigthumb: ---

Thanks. I think it’ll be the 6th running LS1 Miata in the country, and I’m almost positive it’ll be the only M-Edition LS1 Miata 🙂 ---
