What I want to know is, where had they hidden that meth-addled infant shaking a keyring and some bells?

The rattling noise made me not want to watch the video, there’s no way I could take driving it.

4:25 David if you get into an accident having your belts loose like that, you wont be better off. First of all 4-point harnessess are basically worse than the standard 3 point, because they must be really tightly strapped around your hip bones and chest all the time, a 5- or 6-point harness will keep the lower straps to your hip bone rather than letting it go up into your stomach and causing a lot of internal damage. A OEM 3-point will automatically tense the seatbelt and hold your hips against the seat, it does not slip up into your stomach as easy. If anyone is driving with 4-point harness on the street as loose as David does here, you might as well not use it at all. Yes its uncomfortable, hence why it is not used in production cars. Strapping yourself hard against the seat with a 4+ point belt, will make neck injuries more severe. Hence using a neck protection or HANS device when racing to keep your head from snapping your neck. Oh and without a helmet its easy to hit the back of your head against the steel rollbar.... Yeah making a compromised half-racecar for the street might be awesome, but crashing it will not be.

bingoberra18 yup, as someone who has had a basilar skull fracture (what HANS devices are made to prevent and what killed Dale Sr.) you might be lucky and just end up in the ICU for a couple days then released a few days later. However, when you whip your head around like that and make your noodle a gymnast in the culvert known as your skull you can do like me and end up with permanent hearing damage and no olfactory function. The Tanakas look cool but they are worse than useless in a crash if not adjusted properly.

Finally!!!! Thank you for reviewing my favorite swap! I haven’t watched it yet but I can tell it’s awesome!

My grandma had a rattle like this, it was her garage door opener.

Dear blue dude

Rattling like this shouldn't be expected with any engine swap. Ditto on the tires; you can fit 225s all around and not rub at all with the right setup.

It actually sounds good! Great review

Tim’s car is honestly amazing

Love the review David! I have spent a lot of time working on my buddy's turbo K24 swapped NA miata working closely with Kmiata when we did the swap. One of the best budget race cars you can build! Just an informational safety tip to add to your race harness comment; any time you run a race harness in your car (no matter if it is attached to a roll bar or roll cage) you risk breaking your neck in the event of an accident if not used properly with a head & neck restraint (HANS device).

hi David. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c i knew it was goin to b good

Gingium probably welded himself when david said..."1.6? Just throw that away." 🤣🤣

Really dig the the subtle lip kit. Looks really clean.

My 92 produces 270whp. 2001 vvt full forged turbocharged, doesn't sound like a rivet buster. That Honda was probably cheaper, but I am so happy with my car. Thanks for the video. It was fun to watch.

Kmiata just released their K24z3 swap which retains the stock subframe and engine mount bushings! Definitely going to be some interesting builds with that, and an amazing platform for a turbo k-swap as well since the manifold is 4-1

This is my best friend Timmy's car. You can find his Instagram @ 4v6_na6 We normally drive the northern NC mountains in the surrounding area but mostly at the tail of the dragon.

I would totally do this! This puts the Miata at the level it should've been since the beginning. I'd really do something about that rattling tho... I'd go insane driving with that

Oh snap, super excited to see what you think! A K24 is high on the list of what I want to do to my Miata! Kmiata just released a cheaper K24Z3 single-exit exhaust swap. Should make 200whp/160wtq

The rattle would make me lose my mind

I definitely think it’s a great idea. But what transmission options do you have for a Kswap

The shifter is too high and tall, which is why you're shifting into fifth. If you had a shorter shift lever, you could be more precise with it.

It looks like an absolute blast. A K-Miata has been on my shortlist for a less-expensive street-legal trackday car when I sell one of my current cars 😁. FYI, wearing the shoulder straps that loose on a harness is no bueno. You need to snug them up a bit (but not so much that they pull the lap belt up off your hip points).

That is an absolutely beautiful road

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REVIEW My NA's engine blew a couple months ago and it's just sitting in the driveway while I decide what to do with it. I really want to hang onto it and K swap it but the rational part of me wants to just sell it.

The rattling is the button for reverse on the shifter that I believe irp has fixed.

The 1.8 is a sweet motor, specifically for people who don't give a damn how fast their car is, and only want maximum opportunity for smiles. I'm sure the K swap is a riot, but as I'm a 6 cylinder guy I'd leapfrog it for a J swap.
