Just....... why?

I think the best part is that he wants $14k for it.

3/8/2012 4:59:39 PM

oh dear god why

3/8/2012 5:53:08 PM

Japanese quality, German engineering, & American Horse Power ... Come on, what's not to like?!

^Haha, that's easier with a tractor wheel.

I love monster miatas, and I actually think the BMW Z3's look nice. But if you're spending all that money on a body kit, why not make it look really exotic? Looks clean though.

Also, if someone could bump the craigslist thread, I'd appreciate it.

are those AP1 s2000 wheels?

3/8/2012 9:49:36 PM

nope

Yup, I agree. It's still a Miata regardless of how much junk has been added.

doesn't it make more sense to just buy the Z3 and put a mustang engine in it if you want to go that route?

3/9/2012 10:03:09 AM

I can think of about a million things that make more sense than putting a Z3 body kit on a Miata with a V8 swap.

3/9/2012 12:18:56 PM

i fucking hate miatas almost as much as nissans

3/9/2012 12:41:06 PM

The Z3 kit might have made sense 15 years ago when they were still massively more expensive than Miatas. Now it just seems silly.

"1994 SVO Mustang motor"

No such thing. I assume he means SVT Cobra motor? The SVO was the turbo 4 powered Mustang from the mid 80's

3/9/2012 12:56:54 PM

probably

3/9/2012 1:05:46 PM

it could be a 1984 SVO or a 1994 SVT mustang motor

although they didn't specify if it's a 2.3L turbo or a V8

1988 Thunderbird turbo coupes had the same engine/drivetrain as the SVO

and it says Thunderbird rear end


either way, I wouldn't want this crap

3/9/2012 1:59:39 PM

^A good point. I would prefer the turbo unit in its original Turbo Coupe packaging in that case, though. And a strange build gets even stranger if that's actually the explanation.

3/9/2012 8:43:06 PM

The thunderbird rear end is commonly used alongside the 302ci ford v8 in monster miatas, so I think that's what we're looking at here, not a turbo 4. Probably a shit load of fun sans the perplexing body kit.
