  1. Decent amped fronts + sound deadening + sub should be all you need. If the amp can run 2ohm then the power it draws should be roughly halfway between the 2 and 4ohm power ratings should it? so 100w@4ohm and 150w@2ohm so 130ish at 3ohm? so as long as you dont bridge a 4 channel amp into 2 channels, most 2/4 channel amps should cope with it fine?

    You should buy my caliber 4 channel amp tbh.

    The amp is bit more powerful than the speakers are rated to run on. From my personal experience, I wouldn't run an amp that is rated higher RMS than the speaker can handle especially if you listen to music at high volumes. I am sure many people do the opposite and have no issues as it all depends on the quality of the speakers and amp.

    Many amps claim to make a specific power but don't actually make the quoted power. With my Rockford amp, I got a cert from factory that had measured the exact power output and it was underrated.

    Uhm, more power/headroom is better than not enough power... If you set your gains correctly having excess power will never be an issue.

  3. Sweet, its not high on my priorities, but some angry 6 cyl snarl would be nice when I put my foot in it when that rarely happens. But highway cruise silence is more of a priority. headers/cat delete/tune could be a future option then.

  4. I did a 1:48.9 at taupo track 1 back in april, first time on semis in the dry. Not too shabby a time for a basically stock sti I think. Pity its now sold and my MX5 will take a while to beat that.

    LSx V8s are surprisingly compact motors, complete LS7 doesn't break 200kg and it's a 7L.

    People throw RBs into Silvias all the time and I'm told a RB26DETT tips the scales at 240kg+.

    Totally worth swapping just to watch people look around for the big burbly V8 when you pull up next to them, I reckon. Torque is just the icing.

    Yeah i went for a ride in it once and he opened it up on an onramp past some sacked out ceffie, the look on their faces was pretty gold. It basically the same as having a convertible old school torana or something. Just in a slightly less masculine shell :)

    In saying all that, the build wasnt exact;ly cheap haha. Theres also not much MX5 left mechanically...

  6. Yeah his LS1 wasnt much heavier with t56 than the stock iron block 1.6. And most of the weight is negated when you are stripping it out/putting in lighter seats etc so the original balance/weight distribution is mostly kept the same. It sounds lke a fantastic idea, im not sure why you would think otherwise D: Its also going to be reliable as hell. You can also put your foot down in 6th at 100kph on the motorway and it starts pulling like a freight train lol.
