So you've got a 1990 Mazda Mx5 (that's a Miata for all our US brothers and sisters) you picked up as a repairable write off for pretty cheap. You could do what the name suggests and repair the thing to get it back on the road...
Or you could throw a LS1 in there for the hell of it and follow your mantra of 'Ls'ing the world.'
Up to you really...
Thankfully for us, the buyer of this early MX has taken the second path and turned this roadster into an absolute road tearer.
And plenty of room in this Ls1 Mx5 for a turbo. Or two!
And the list of bolt on's is just as impressive as the artistic photography!

As you can appreciate, the inside of this LS1 MX5 looks ready for war, sideways at all times.
Sadly while it was for sale recently for 12k AUD, someone has obviously realized how much mad fun this would be on the track anywhere really and snapped it up. I for one hope they leave off that curvy front bar for that real Mad Max roaming the nuclear wastes in an Mx5 look.
Anyway, unlike a lot of other ads on the Facebooks, this one actually does have a few more pictures so enjoy!
If you were the one who bought it, can you let us know how much fun we're missing out on?
