Autos – Bids, a new site specialized in the auction of fashionable cars for enthusiasts, sells a Mazda MX-5 Miata 2002. Although not unusual, this example lost its four-cylinder engine and won an original Jaguar V6.
Taking out a six-litre 3.0-liter 2000 S-Type and dropping it into an unsuspecting Miata is supposedly less difficult than it looks. Rocketeer, founded in England, delivers a kit that makes the change quite simple, the list indicates that the factory air conditioning formula is not compatible with the new engine. Apart from the bloodless air, the installation is so well made that it turns out Mazda imagined the Miata with a larger engine. Jag’s V6 inevitably adds weight to a world-renowned roadster for its agile handling, but it also brings a lot of strength to the table.
From the left, a 2002 Miata runs on a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that develops 142 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque. The example indexed in Cars and Bids puts 220 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque under the driver’s right foot, figures that gently compensate for weight gain. And, surprisingly, the six rear wheels spin through a popular five-speed hand transmission. Handling of Flyin’ Miata anti-roll bars and Koni surprise shock absorbers.
Close the hood and this Jagazda looks like an 18-year-old Miata. The dealership made no modifications to the body, is still painted in its original silver tone and has retained the original 15-inch wheels. Double exhaust tips allude to the V6, but are sophisticated enough to surprise more than a few drivers at the next autocross event.
The auction is underway and the auction is worth $4,250 at the time of writing this article, with approximately 3 days before the hammer falls. If you lose the chance to buy it, several outlets sell kits that allow experienced shade tree mechanics to travel in an older Miata.
