^^ nah I'm just dumb enough to try, and too stubborn to quit once I'm started!
The miatas that came with the 3.909 rear end were the 6 speed manuals and some JDM models. I did not feel like waiting for one to pop up and I got a good deal on the GTX parts.89 Festiva L Carby 4 Speed... RIP. Evicted and Scrapped. I HATE MY FAMILY

Nice work so far! You know, the week after you cut the tire well out I found at least 2 aspires that may have worked. LoL they weren't close enough or cheap enough for me to touch.

Incredible stuff. I love seeing this build happen... very inspiring for many of us out there trying to fathom how to pull off complex RWD/AWD swaps down the line. Should definitely serve as a great resource for the community... thanks so much for the detailed writing and pictures both today and tomorrow!1988 Chevy Sprint Turbo 997cc

Amanda, perhaps you should have better maintained the car then... It is easier to pay small repair bills over time than one huge one when the thing isn't safe to drive anymore.89 Festiva L Carby 4 Speed... RIP. Evicted and Scrapped. I HATE MY FAMILY

Stock cars are boring & everyone has one.
Go for the extreme custom build. Many will doubt you but if your like me that will only push you to finish it
When your done all the haters will want a ride or want your car.
Go for it, we're all wanting to see that beast run!Last edited by citizen caine; 11-27-2011, 11:29 AM.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8SilV257aM
