Falken Azenis on 16" rims,brakes are from a 99 model with carbon tech brakes pads, bilstein suspension w/ coil overs. hard dog hardcore rollbar keeps it rigid with little no no body flex. and the powers being held by a flyin' miata clutch and flywheel. not to mention that I'm getting near 30mpg and even closer to 40mpg while running toluene. running a water to air intercooler and its keeping the car cool at 90 degrees Celsius.
now tell me why you would want to swap a perfectly good motor?
may I ask, who did the build? and what the cost might have been minus the Turbo? - I was in the process of investigation a K20 and tranny from an S2000 - - thank you!
