Very cool Nathan! I read through the entire build log last night.
A V8 really makes a car... vs. the 4 cylinder exhaust note. I'd love
to transplant a V8 in my Solstice. While it's nice to have a sleeper
car (4 cylinder turbo), some cars just beg for a V8.
Did you manage to get before & after weights on your car?

Russ

Thought I would let everyone know that I got my LS1 Miata fully
functional (mostly…) and put the first 30 miles on the conversion
just now. I have the first crank video up on my website (http://home.comcast.net/~npartist/completion_videos.html
). Its crappy quality but I will have some real video up as soon as
I get my hands on a camcorder (maybe week or two). My exhaust is
ridiculously low (picture like 2 inches at the center of the car)
but that not really the fault of the kit but rather the way my
exhaust was done (3rd party). I plan on having it redone whenever I
get time. So right now I have to avoid speed bumps, significant
crest, large dust bunnies, etc… Hell, that makes this all the more
fun right? I think so. :D
So tomorrow is the 5th Annual Georgia Tech Autoshow (www.gatechautoshow.com
) and it’s been my goal to DRIVE my car to it ever since I started
back in October. At first I though first of the year it would be
done but that quickly changed when I didn’t have the car back from
paint til then. Ever since then, I have come home (I’m a student at
Gatech) nearly every weekend (fri-sun) and put in a solid 30-40
hours of work each one and now I can actually drive it! Woohoo.
Anyways, any Atlanta locals are welcome to come to the show and
check out my car. Its from 11-3pm. Our guest speaker is a GT Grad
who works for Telsa Motors, the electric “lotus elise” makers. The
speech is at 2pm.
Time to put my gauge cluster, center stack and console in…
