Thanks everyone for the great feedback, and thanks to the team at The Slip Angle! It was unparalleled fun putting the car through its paces on the twisty CT roads for this series.
A lot of questions will be answered in the upcoming videos so I won't divulge the spoilers here...contact us via our site if you have specific questions that can't wait before ordering one for yourself!
Would love to see a 10spd auto 8n this!
@@boywonderrr71 WHAT !!?? Blasphemy !
Your car is awesome, everything looks great! Curious if you can do the same with a ND2 or is it ND1 specific?
@sarasotasupersportperformance How much did this cost minus the cost to get the car? I tried looking on the website, but it doesn't show
Agree an automatic option would be great. I'm a disabled veteran and as much as I like a stick, my knees like it less. In fact I sold my last stick shift after I got to ride the clutch for hours in traffic.
Dude. I have been wondering why Flyin Miata stopped offering that package. Thank you for continuing their legacy on that. I will now refer people to your business.
:)
i think they stopped because of emissions reasons. something about the legal process.
Fucking EPA
how about inline 3 toyota electric assisted turbo areo kit hypermiler
They did a video I think or I read on a forum that they were a small company with a handful of guys and they didn't have the manpower or the time to be doing those big projects for customers so now they stick to smaller work.
This thing sounds glorious. I’m sure the shifting from tremec with steering feel and body feedback is unmatched in today’s market.
Agreed!
What a little beast this thing is! It was a blast to film and edit this video!
Nice work! 👌
Very cool. Good production value, good story. TBH, it felt very SavageGeese which is meant as a compliment. Excited to see driving impressions.
This comment made my day… I’m a huge fan of them and love their production value. I do the best I can with the tools & time that I have and to even be put in the same ballpark as them is an amazing compliment in my eyes.
Thank you!
I thought the same. They are the absolute pinnacle. I’ve been watching this Channel for years now and this is the best yet.
This has to be one of the best "resto-mods" around and certainly my new favorite LS-swapped car.
It’s just “mod”, as there is no restoration involved in a new car.
Instead of resto mod, he meant bad azz car! @@pauloakes6952
I love my 2SS 1LE 6th gen Camaro, but this is the dream. Chevy's LT and LS engines, that sweet Tremec, and the Miata experience all in one - just awesome.
Incredible news. I'm so glad you kept doing the LS swap. I saw one of these Flying Miata LS swapped cars at the track and it was amazing. I loved the way it was killing the Corvette guys at the track in the straightaways, and they couldn't do anything but lose ground. Ultimate sleeper car. Interested in the handling and track experiences so far band dyno and lap times. C'mon Lawrence, please, tell me more!
Y'all straight up shoved a Tyrannosaurus Rex inside a kitten's body!!! Impressive as hell!
That's what she said.
Great car! It's really good that you picked up this program and kept it going. Don't need music over the sound of the car.
Man oh Man!! You can just see, with the way it behaves, that this is a solid piece of machinery. Just looks amazing and has a prowess that conveys quality all the way! Excellent work, Sir. Something to definitely be proud of... congratulations 👍👍
The ND Miata really is the total package to do this with. Especially the RF body. It’s a perfectly sized package that looks great and has all the modern stuff and some of the best driving dynamics.
This is my end goal dream car. Please stay in business Lawrence. I’ll be seeing ya soon.
Had me at the Bucee's hat. Seriously, though. Great presentation/editing in this video. The passion and intellect this man has will hopefully propel him to great sustainable success. Best of luck to SSSP!
Bravo, the old time philosophy of doing it right and thorough the FIRST time. You, sir, have become a craftsman of boutique sports cars.
Great video! Good luck to Lawrence!
Great video with some really good filming. Looking forward to Quinns review
Thank you!
Very impressive; and thanks for your service
This is one hot miata 🔥🌶 sick build this guy and company are offering
Car is awesome.
Best of luck in this venture !
With new cars being so soft and unengaging I’ve been looking at older cars. This is great rendition of an “older” car especially looking to be a Shelby cobra!
Nice clean installation.
Really well done conversion on an ND, must be a blast to drive! The video came out great as well, looking forward to the other 3 videos!
Miata go WHEEEEEEEEEE
Dream Car, glad to see all that work FM did found a home! Looks like Lawrence has made it his own in many ways. Can't wait to see that bell for more!
That's one sick mx5... brilliant. John
Gonna need all the b roll you got on this monster! What a beauty!
Lawrence, this is incredible. Fantastic work, living the dream. Personally I'd love to see an AJ126 (Jag Ftype SC motor) swap in an ND but this looks gnarly as heck.
Very well done video, I’ll have to go to Sarasota and check it out, maybe do my own little review video
Seems like one of the funnest driving experiences
It is something else for sure!
Well, now I gotta take my 94 ls2 Miata for a spin after work today lol!
I can’t imagine a cammed ls3 with 3.91s in such a light car. I’m still scared of my factory ls2 with 3.73!
Awesome! Like Lawrence said in the video, it’s very snappy…
Amazing car, what a sound ❤
This is the perfect sports car I want one!
Its a beautiful build i hope they or someone else have initiatives to open one in Australia
I could probably never afford one, but if I had the money to spend on a really cool car - this would be the one! 😁
Cannot wait for more content on this
Great video, such a cool car
New dream car unlocked
Man, I'm right across Rt 60 on the other coast from you. I know where to go when I get my next car. That car is exactly what I want
that is so nuts omg!!!!
Beautiful.
This is incredible, I would love to pick up one off these in my life time!
It's certainly a very special car!
Insane
Goals! One day😎
OMG....what a beast. If only it could be transfered to RHD, I'd love that available here in Australia. Great work!!
Wow, sign me up. What a car!
👏👏👏 amazing!
It would be interesting if Mazda dropped that inline 6 turbo they have in the cx90 into an mx5. Not as fast as an LS, but would be pretty quick.
Looks Great 👍
That car is sweet!
Cant wait for more videos
very likable guy
Bro this is awesome and I’m really thinking about this after I pay off my gt350.
I'd love to see Thottle House do an episode on this car! If I could afford one of these, it'd be in my driveway right now.
Best wishes for you and your awesome business!
I got one of FM's very few DIY kits back in 2018/2019, built it myself but with an LS7. I got 517hp at the wheels, so it makes for an interesting ride, that's for sure 😎 Mine gained about 150kg/300lbs but then gained almost 400hp, and the front rear balance hardly shifted at all, still very close to an even 50/50. I'm really amazed how this little car handles all that power with such grace. It's obviously an expensive conversion, but the level of detail and quallity that goes into it are really exceptional, and it really looks, feels and behaves like a factory built car. You could of course compare it to other similar priced modern sports cars, but how many gives you that true sports car feel from a RWD, manually shifted, NA engine car? And you will probably be the only one with such a car at any car meet etc. you show up to. If my numbers are correct, FM built 8 turn key cars including their own, and then sold 4 DIY kits, that's a total of only 12 cars, compare that to any so called limited edition car. And to all of you who has nothing better to do than bashing on this saying that it's not a moden AC Cobra and that it should have had a Ford motor bla bla bla, just go build something your selves instead and have some fun. It's obviously no modern AC Cobra, but it's built with the same philosophy, small light sports car with a big V8. And just for the record, no modern Ford V8 would have ever fitted in the ND like an LS.
@Lawrence, thanks, it has been nice chatting 👍
Great just great
I saw the tag on the car and my first thought was Florida Man is at it again.
Glad you're continuing the work of the V8 Miata. I hope your business does well and that as a result this is just the first step in a growing business. I don't think that you mentioned the weight, but hopefully it has remained low.
If it's anything like most V8 miatas, they generally only gain a few hundred pounds over stock and become slightly front biased.
Definitely will be following. You are building a True Classic. I was looking at a C6 'vette as a Weekend/Track day car. Your car is more modern and faster. Plus, it has a modern LS. Have you lined up enough suppliers to post Package)s cost?
So great 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
great vid, awesome nD and soooo. what’s with the s2?
All power to you sir. Would love to see a transaxle conversion one day.
Sounds incredible !
How much to get this done. What ball park are we talking about here ?
I want this to NC !
I too want to know weight and balance change,
and maybe price range… a thoroughly prepared and tight car clearly deserves a non-dyi premium
I'm just like you in the sense that ive always wanted a Cobra, but too expensive, no roof no a/c, bad economy etc etc. This, I too, would be happy to live with! My perfect modern dream car. I just gotta know what ballpark figure does it cost....
That would be a fun car.
Damn this guy has a bucee's hat and a Barbe shirt, he must live at that track
That’s one sick Miata, love it 😍
I need one 🙌🏼
Somewhere in a car garage in heaven, Carol Shelby has a Texas-sized grin on his face.
One day I want to experience one of these
Sick engine swap.
Man, your passion for this vehicle and what you do as a business is palpable even in this short video. Awesome man, congrats.
And yes, I’ll take the hot cam💯
A thing of beauty. Does this have auto rev-matching?
Great production on this guys! What an awesome thing all around!
Thank you!
I think I may get one of these
this thing is filthy, so sick
Maaaaan what a joy that thing must be.
So many questions…………..first, im thinking that this would be such a great track day beast, but, most organizations require some sort of roll bar/cage. Is that going to be an option for the future? Looking forward to the track videos.
A frickin v8 is insane that thing just needed a turbo with a good intercooler and a tune.
Dream car for me
WOW! Just WOW!
Congrats and wishing you all the success. Love to be a customer one day.
I would totally get one, but it'll be impossible to get it road legal over here in Germany. Great work, great car
Kein Problem! Wende dich an SPS in Altendiez. Die bauen dir das mit TÜV!
Wow!
How much? Always liked miata for the idea, but they just sound anemic. This is the perfect car.
Good God. I have a 2022 Black ND RF 3000mi garage queen. Can only dream to transform it into that "thing"...🥰
Love the build!!
If I ever save enough to get this done I will... Simply breath taking engineering 👏👏
Total dude
LOVE this car
How long do you expect this to be around? I would be very interested in doing this but probably end up being next summer unfortunately, but I would hate to miss my chance.
Man that's 2wicked it's a shame i can't fit in one of those i love that car
I'm blown away at the fact that you managed to get a V8 into the MX-5 chassis.
People have been doing it for 25 years. The LS3 looks amazing in the ND.
As a 1.5lt Mazda Mx5 and some v6 and V8 owner over time I always wished better sound this car feels like gloves to me but it lacks the total power and sound
I was wondering cost of total conversion ?
This is a dream of mine, i had a camaro and switched to a now supra because it felt to big to me. But v8 miata is my dream.
Wasn't expecting route 72 rollers! Drive it all the time.
Great product, hopefully your time and energy goes into the future. This country is on the brink and we all need to re-focus on keeping this country so great people like yourself can do what you love for others.
Whats the weight distribution, can you put larger tires and most importantly whats the trackability?
Will you do the right hand drive versions ?
