Ive actually heard of a guy who put a miata engine in a FD. I think it was in Alabama but not sure. Maybe someone else here will chime in that knows what im talking about. They supposedly did it just for reliability.

That's like going to a B-cup from a C-cup for posture.

I know a guy that put a 1.8 in a FC. He's going turbo... I'll told him i'll race him with my FB for kicks once he's done with it.

Was this car white with Volk TE37 wheels on it?

And yeah, a 13b-REW with a single snail conversion, and motec standalone was recently done, very proper swap, and it was fast, too bad I cant find the build thread anymore, I think it was on ziptied...
