    A small displacement, high-revving V10 is brilliant! This is going to sound unreal when fired up. Neat thing is that while you folks are doing this crazy high-tech build (and love that there will be kits too), another TH-cam mechanic "Uncle Tony's Garage" is doing a crazy retro-build where he's put a Slant 6 170 in a Miata. Pretty amazing how versatile the Miata ends up being for these sorts of things.

      Ah! So you don't actually know about cars? I see...
      There is a lot of science behind why you are wrong but I'll stick to the main points.
      First off, it's 200 bhp out of the same displacement and foot print as the stock motor that only had 140ish at most depending on model year.
      Second, more pistons means more torque. Liter to liter a V8 will always produce more ft/lbs than a 4 cylinder and a V10 will make more than a V8.
      Third, 12,500 RiPpiMs is a LOT!
      Which means a much longer power band, and more powers under the curve. Which also means you can run super short gearing letting the engine work less to get to speed while still having plenty of gear to drive on.
      Most importantly, the sound.
      Have you ever heard a V10 before?!
      Lastly, Ferrari. Lamborghini. Mercedes. Formula freakin 1!
      I think there might be a reason why most of the fastest/expensivist/ highest performing machines ever built used 10 cylinders. Or 12. Or 16.

    Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
    on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas
    station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel
    pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in
    the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems,
    turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and
    New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be

    This kind of clear, empathetic instruction is absolutely fantastic and is 100% why I watched this vieo start to finish. The guy, Mike is a really great communicator (and knowledgable) and it would be great to see him instruct on more videos. Also, the presenter is an excellent 'student' and represents the viewer's (possibly) inexperienced viewpoint on this topic who brings us along with him. Lads, I'd love to see more of this specific, detailed, type of skilled work on your channel from time to time. Thanks!

      It costs huge money, you rolled the car into anywhere else but a high end fabricators that you're friendly with, they'd tell you to tow it to the nearest scrap heap because its utterly stuffed. I'm kinda guessing Mike doesn't do his own oil because holes that big aren't just something which happens overnight and you'd have to be blind not to see them just doing a basic service

      There's the old saying about "If you have to ask...."
      Consider that a Flyin Miata or V8Roadsters conversion usually runs $50k turn-key using an off the shelf engine with cheap, available parts and, well, the total here is A LOT.

    As an Australian, it is horrific how much rust cars get in the UK. Unless you drive on the beach, the most people usually see is a little surface rust. Even in cars from the 1960s and 1970s.
