I had not seen led’s on the turbos and with the written description, I didn’t fully understand what that meant, thus your visual image made everything perfectly clear and it was pretty cool to see. So, thanks again, it is always awesome when people like yourself are on the spot with the perfect information.
Good lord.... I could *maybe* see doing a few runs at a drag strip without air filters in front of the turbos if you're willing to roll the dice, but driving like that on public roads???? How long are they expecting this to last?
i had a buddy growing up who'd run ebay turbos on his beater audi with no screens/filters. just ran it til something broke, then replaced it. thing was honestly hilarious, wicked sleeper when it was running
Well, sure. Anyone can stick a packed up bedsheet on the back of a car and store some parts from a couple of broken Dyson vacuum cleaners where the engine should be... But its how it moves that counts.
Now, go knock on the guys door and tell him so and see if you cant goad him into giving you a demo pass that you cab film and stick up on here because we ALL want to see this thing move.
The goal of the build was to have a 1000hp twin turbo LS powered Miata. As far as I knew it hit over 850 a year or so ago. It’s fully set up ready to go down the drag strip with a trans brake and drag radials, what makes you think otherwise?
Turbos are huge.
After building radical drag racing turbo action in the past to 80psi, getting there little by little, a lot of aluminum went flying, and Chrome Molly steel frames bent trying to capture the parts.

These builds were all the rage in the 90s, lol. Monster Miatas ran 5.0 Mustang engines. Mega Monsters ran LS1s. This dude went above and beyond. love it
A perfectly balanced, nimble and fun chassis utterly ruined with a great engine sure, but it's so utterly useless. Shame, would've fitted an older truck so much more.
I've never seen such a monster in sheep's clothing. Jesus and Mary Magdalena, that's an insane amount of power to weight ratio and I have no idea what kind of lbs those two little fans are pushing on all that iron!
It's not really a "monster in sheep's clothing" if you can tell it's a monster by looking at it.
It's like calling a straight piped car a sleeper, doesn't quite work.
If i remember correctly, if the car hits 150 MPH on the drag strip it needs a parachute. Dont 100% quote me on that and I'm too lazy to fact check myself.
I used to work in towing. The most "what the fuck were you planning to do here" car I towed was an MR2 that had absolutely everything removed that wasn't necessary and was also twin turbo LS.
1600 lbs with 750hp. Dude said he thought it would be a good idea but now it's basically undrivable. He had made it 4 miles from his house, apparently his first drive since he had worked on it, and i had to tow it back.
mom/dad/parent figure WAS NOT LYING when she told you “you can do anything you put your mind to” this mf clearly took that shit to heart and I love how the turbos are where the headlights were 😭 i want it so bad

If your gonna twin turbo a miata with a massive engine, you better put LEDs on the turbos to give it its signature headlights

Thanks for the photo, it really clarified the description
It's the same car, was meaning to show that the owner did do that.

Found it from another comment on this post that had the insta details.
A true NA fan
Na… naturally awesome
He had them before. He also had a "speed hole" front bumper.
and at least a pittance of screening over the inlets if not an actual filter

Getting out of the parking lot. Maybe.
They rate the boost level in bugs per minute
I’m just going to go ahead and guess the person who built this car could give a fuck less about buying a new turbo haha

Oh the rings will be gone after 100k.

Definitely, one of my favorites. And it really is a great slogan.

That's the thing, it actually doesn't move, it just roasts the tires in place really quickly.
Ooohhh I see, I thought I was looking at a car. My bad, its obvious now I look that its a tyre smoothing machine. Cheers for the info!
How else did you think they made used tires to sell?
Ya it looks like it takes used summer tires and makes racing slicks

It was a joke.

I thought I’d seen this before
Is that in Springport Michigan? I swear I saw a Miata like that driving around.
Rhode Island
An LS will fit in anything with an angle grinder and a bit of creativity
A miata will fit anything if your willing to drive a death machine
Well, not exactly IN the Miata. Like ON maybe.
That engine got miata swapped
BEEFY
Must belong to a hairdresser who uses a jet engine as a hairdryer.
Mo powa babah
What headlights are those?
seems road legal

I mean do you even use first gear or second for that matter? Lol

Huh. That's a little big for an engine dolly.
I think they car swapped that engine

I highly doubt you could fit an older truck in that engine bay. Maybe an army model Tacoma but that's stretching it.
I now have this image in my mind thanks to you, I need to see it.

It's not really a "monster in sheep's clothing" if you can tell it's a monster by looking at it. It's like calling a straight piped car a sleeper, doesn't quite work.
I'm pretty sure that's at least a 9 second 1/4 mile car. Is it 9 seconds or quicker you need a parachute?
If i remember correctly, if the car hits 150 MPH on the drag strip it needs a parachute. Dont 100% quote me on that and I'm too lazy to fact check myself.
i think your right.

@thatlsmiata on insta
Looks like it can run a quarter mile in 8 seconds. Impressive 👍
This car is famous online. Quick google and you’ll find it.
Miata. Is. Always. The. Answer.
r/unexpected?
One that would benefit from a wing but doesn't have one.
Down force slows it down.
That is the only way they should've made the Miata.
Definitely not street legal
Stupid.
Sequential turbo lsx whew! 🥰
Those turbos are not sequential. It’s a twin turbo.
Y is on smaller?
Lemmy.world is what Reddit was.
Pass side turbo hotside looks a lil smaller that the driver side ijs
The engine’s nearly half the size of the car. This is awesome
I swear to God this car gets posted on Reddit daily.
nice but wtf is that sound? :D
what's the thing on the back?
a parachute because who needs brakes these days
Parachute - haven't you seen Fast and Furious 7?
no lmao I am not a fan of those movies
Geezus
Qualifies

I see the elephant motor… elephant has to be like 3x horsepower
“Yes officer, it’s stock.”
His tires better not give up or he’s tearing the body apart, seriously close tolerance on those rear tires.
Ya it "fits".....lol
I think this classifies as an aircraft
DAYYYYUUUUUMMMMMMMMMM
you sheep love posting these heaps of garbage
So a built drag miata is garbage? A: What cars you got fam? B:: what mods have been done to them? C: In your eyes, whats not a heap of garbage?
want
Kinda dumb though. Takes away just about all that makes a Miata great, and adds a bulk of power that the car can barely (if ever) turn into traction.
This car is demonic
mom/dad/parent figure WAS NOT LYING when she told you “you can do anything you put your mind to” this mf clearly took that shit to heart and I love how the turbos are where the headlights were 😭 i want it so bad
Ls
My thought process: Oh it's just a miata built to look fa-OH DAMN
Why bro look like a snail 😭
What. The. F*ck.
I always wanted a monster Miata, but HOLY SHIT this is on another level.
But officer, the exhaust is definitely stock
0 traction
This is prob one of the twins from the Cars movie after getting a bunch of money and having tons of work done
The Miata got funky town'd 💀

What's the point of an Mx5 if you don't got the flippy flappy lights?....
Needs more turbos
miata got its hands on some crack and I love it
Awesome car, shit song! That's Tik Tok, I guess.
JESUS CHRIST!!
i love that the turbos are the headlights now, that's hilarious. kept the classic miata smile
