I hardly dare ask, but what's your budget? I'm telling myself it would be £10k plus and therefore I should just buy a Z4M instead...
All the parts to do the conversion can be bought from a couple of specialists in the USACheck out the Flyin Miata site.
And Monster Miata.
And http://shop.partsworldperformance.com/ ... £10285 inc VAT for the 430bhp/420lbft base model, gearbox and stuff included. Just add a stronger diff, some coilovers and better brakes...

Opel got as far as doing Autobahn testing on a V8 Omega but they couldn't keep it cool enough on long runs for production.
Wouldn't that pretty much just be a Holden Commodore? ![wink](/inc/images/wink.gif)

I've also always had a soft spot for the twin engined lunacy of the late nineties, Dubsport were full of big ideas at the time.
2 x 2.0ltr turbos.

2 x 2.9ltr VR6s. excuse the wheels, it was the 90's![hehe](/inc/images/hehe.gif)

Don't see anything like them these days.
Also, as I'm an ex Max Power reader I remember some rumours of a Fiat Uno with a quad turbo V12 from a Bugatti EB110, how true they were I don't know but it was apparently sold to some Sheikh before any pics could be taken![confused](/inc/images/confused.gif)
