Sorry Greg,

No, company promos or magazine coverage just a retired hobbiest, me building it in our garage. I'd be glad to answer any questions you may have, technical or otherwise.

Thanks for your comments

Hi, looks like a great project!

I was just wondering, when finished what do you expect the wieght distribution to be like?

I'm guessing the LS2 engine is significantly heavier than the original 1.6/1.8 so are you doing anything to compensate for that or will you see how it handles first?

Because of utilizing a bigger & heavier Ford 8.8 IRS rear-end in the Miata subframe and the fact the LS2 is all aluminum vs. the cast iron Mazda 4 cylinder we should wind up very close to the same 50 / 50 balance configuration with a minmal weight gain making car total around 2500 Lbs.

- Thanks
