    Aftermarket wheels almost always look better than stock. I think it looks good.

    I would like a miata to play with. They're fun little cars.

    im telling you man, im excited to try it..
    i was looking up all the shit you would have to do to get one in, and it doesn't seem that bad, worse comes to worse it'll be out of commission for 2 weeks or so.
    but, i found one for like $1,600 so im thinking bout just dropping it in as a stock RB and then progressively building it up,
    there's vids of an RB25 miata on youtube.. inspiration son lol inspiration

    There are couple of Rb25 and Rb26 miatas running around but Why go that route when you could go LSX ?
    Try not. Do or Do not.

    But, they're even more fun to play with once you drop a 5.0 from an old Mustang in them

    i just don't like the thought of any of the LS motors or a 5.0...
    i mean, they got some mad shit going with em. but its just not me..

    so far its between the RB26, 13B/20B, or the 2JZ..
    i wanna do something that's gonna show lots of potential so i don't get bored with it, and something that isn't so common around here.
    the RB really seems more practical to me.
    but like i said, opinions are appreciated =]

    You're going to destroy the weight balance of the far with the RB or 2JZ. If you seriously think you're car is only going to be down for two weeks then you need to reconsider as there will be a lot of work involved with this swap.

    Looks good man. You have a B6 or BP? Boosted BPs can be pretty beastly!

    I'm boosted 1.8, but if I had to do it all over again, I would have went LSx.
