Bought Another LS Miata! It Came With a $4,000 Surprise!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We've been planning to build another LS Miata for awhile now, then this deal popped up and we couldn't pass it up. We got under it and found a $4,000 surprise that we thought was a let down until we dug deeper!

    Why would you move and not have that shop in your backyard to work on your car. I'd much rather live out in the country with a big yard to park your trailers and projects, big shop, screened in pool, cool neighbor, drift buddy roommate. Idk what your reason for wanting to move to Orlando but I wouldn't leave that place if I didn't have to.

    I know driving sucks going to events, but with someone like Ben, you're not only guaranteed to have someone who knows Miatas inside and out, but you have someone who is willing to help you. Not knocking Matt and the crew in Orlando, but Ben is better for this channel. The garage is too. Nothing says, "It's a beautiful day in Florida," like you walking out of the house past your enclosed pool with a huge yard. Orlando doesn't have the space or vibe you set with the channel, my man. If I were in your shoes, I would stay where you are. Where you are living now is every car guy's dream. Huge garage, huge yard for spare cars and trailers, you can park anywhere on the yard from what I've seen. The only downside is the scammed driveway and possibly the narrow exit to the street when you leave/come in with a trailer. Outside of that, you're set, man. Plus, you're secluded from the public eye. One last thing, neighbor Al. You can't leave that man from his shenanigans.

    I would say go accusump. Yes you know how dry sump works but accusumps have been known to work and mostly likely far simpler and more cost effective. Pull the subframes out of the white miata and just transfer it all over. It's got the cage in the blue and it gets to keep power windows. Get it fully set up ready to drop the aluminum block in and check the "5.8" and use it as a drag engine 🤷‍♂️

    Dry sump has a side benefit. If you seal up the engine with NO breathers and only have a breather in the top of your Patterson tank, you need at least 3-4 scavenge hoses and overdrive the pump to form a vacuum in the lower pan. The more vacuum you can get, the more horsepower you get. This is an engine builders secret learned by the people that made all the Indy Lights V-6 engines. At one point they claimed + 30% more HP.

You have such a great layout at Bens (parking and parts bin) and maybe consider holding off moving for 6 months or another year...and keep banking and saving for your own land/house. In the end, I'll always wish you the best...with whatever decision you make.

Also you can have NASCAR bars and it looks so much better.

We know - and hope - there’s a lot of life going on outside of KZread and we want you to feel the best you can about where you are literally and figuratively. I’m sure you’d want the same for anyone else. Though I’m not sure what my point is here, I guess just don’t feel bad if you have to make an unpopular choice, but don’t do it for the wrong reasons. I hope the nonspecific advice is helpful ❤️
