The car runs and drives awesome. It will literally turn around in an area as big as two parking spaces at the mall and weighs 1800lbs with a full tank.. The roll cage has been modified, eventually where the top can be put back on it. Needs a new one yet so that is still to come.

Im in the process of doing a few other small things as well. It has a single 70mm turbo on it, methanol injection, nice aluminum radiator and electric fan. Miata seats and 5 point harnesses. The bars on the cage the drop down to the dash are removed now, and the paint is Dark Shadow Grey (ford color).

It is approx. 400rwhp honestly and is a complete animal on the street. It will click off mid 11's @ 128 or so pretty regularly.

You can order the motor/trans combo from several japanese companys that import low mileage motor combinations . Its kind of risky because you could get one thats blown up, or you might now get anything in return for your money. haha. Since its overseas there isnt much you can do . You've just gotta want it bad enough to take the risk. Mine is excellent. It doesn't fit that well though to answer your comments. I had the way my hood has to be so tall, but the motor is as low as it'll go.
