]This is the one-and-only, KLiata. Past MoM winner and cover story in summer issue of MX5 Forever. Powered by the wonderful Mazda KL-DE, 2.5-litre V6,it uses RX7 clutch arrangement and stock Miata gearbox. It is painted VW soft blue, and has the small Tuckin99 flares, RB TypeII nose and Simpson cowl hood. See website for excruciating detail.

i've seen this car... pretty cool and CLEAN. I can't click the link, but are there are pictures of a nice fitting hood on it? Last pics I saw it still had a funk hood for the intakes...

[RotorNutFD3S]

It appears that it has a true cowl induction hood.

[metalman]

It is unique thats for sure.
However, if I go to the work, expense, and trouble to do a swap
its not going to be a V6 nor will it be powder blue. ;)

[MeFryRice]

The blue isn't my favorite either.

interesting set up with the individual throttle bodies and all. 12 g's is a little much though.

[simontibbett]

I was worried he would be asking more then 12, it sounds mean, and is pretty cool. I'd take it over a V8 swapped Miata probably.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Cool idea, absolutely ******* hideous though. That colour is just crap.

[BFH miata]

nothing that a few rattle cans (or a roller) can't fix.

[MeFryRice]

What is it with spray painting/roller painting your car?? Why not spend the money and get something that looks good instead of ***.

[RotorNutFD3S]

I think he was joking about the rattle cans, but I've seen some roller jobs up close and they look just as good as a $$$k paint job. You'll have to see my neighbor's '32 Ford hot rod. He spent almost 3 weeks doing the work, but that car is a beautiful fire engine red!

Spending less than 5% of the price of some body shop = win.

qft. not everyone can afford to be charged out the *** for paint.

Personally, I like the blue on that Miata...

If I had to make a decision on a car that was to be driven on the street, i'd rather have a $500 Macco 2-stage ( of course, i'd do all the prep work and whatnot myself) than that roller paint...unless the car was a dedicated track car.

[MeFryRice]

If it's a track car only, in simontibbets case, then I understand but for something that is everyday driven, I want something that's going to look good and not have a lot of orange-peel in the paint.
