Turbo K24-powered Time Attack Frankenstein Miata, Capable of 200mph 

Larry is a car guys car guy no doubt

This is your opinion of course

builds don't matter if they don't run

Wheres your build? ​@@VividTape

Larry doesn't know the original HP of an NA-Miata... He's a Motorsport Fotografer, not a Motosport Journalist (and neither is he a Rocket Scientist). But he's very committed to what he does.

Miata guy here, believe me, it's crazy

Was here to say the same. Im decent enough with a wrench but christ this guy is a walking thesis statement on why his car fucking works.

NoT A MIATA GUY ?? 😖

Once you taste it.

idk man, blowing a drive shaft mid run doesn't sound like the best life.

I love how every modification tells a story.

It is 95% not Miata. It is a gutted, and carved up Miata body over a custom built machine.

Hondas minivans have J series v6's.. Those K series 4 cyl however came in almost every other vehicle honda made except the minivans and Suvs. The "CUV"/ mini suv's got them. Not the big boys though. The J series however is legendary when cared for. Million miles or more, Easy. Lots of youtube videos about it. Also, thats a lot of parts from custom makers, as well as self designed. Some might be from scrap yard, but the majority are high end expensive parts. Dry sump, Water pump relocation, Alternator delete, Not things you are going to find at your local scrap yard.

@@crisnmaryfam7344 i'm almost certain there were k series vans, i'n in australia though, we may've gotten different models

i couldnt call it competitive when it breaks down on lap two. i respect the owner's approach and effort and that this is super fun and all, but this car will continue to break unless you do it the right way (i.e. the financially unfeasable way).

@@philaoki you'd be surprised where persistence can get you mate. give him another 12-18 months to sort out the kinks and it'll be a weapon, can see its still in its early stages here. im building a stupidly fast car right now and it owes me MAYBE 5 grand australian

K series is a performance engine ground up tho. there is an economy version and performance version economy one is just dailed back and missing vtec on one of the cams. also a k24 at 10,000 rpm has a higher piston speed than any superbike or f1 car ever made because of its 99mm stroke which is the same as a dodge viper LOL

He has both of those this is an issue on multiple Honda platforms and they use an alt ran off the drive shaft which is something he said he will be doing

His pump for the air Jack's are a huge hindrance to his entire electric system. He definitely needs more than what he has.

​@@devinej8411 Just when you thought you understood the definition of insane lol Obviously you just need a spinning force, but damn lol The power requirements of this thing is insane. So cool how many work arounds having to do this opens up. Especially in a race car. Now you can consider weight distribution and maybe even driving force based on placement.

More friction to the ground equals more traction 😁😂

I’d bet you’re correct sir. I too think they’re over spinning the alternator

yeah the whole thing reeks of DIY ideas, dude needs some idea bouncing sessions with other smart folks and this thing'll be even better

This is the comment I was going to make with the addition of suggesting they call Mike Singer from Singer alternators and have him build them exactly the alternator they need for this build.

Glad I'm not the only one. Triple pass radiator, simple charging issues and scrappy body kind of imply this thing needs some serious ironing out.

@@neversettle7666 Absolutely correct.

Worst I've EVER seen

One short and that is just going up in flames.

This dudes talkin about going him to his family, idk if id step foot in this thing if that was my priority. It’s probably ridiculous to drive but idk, respectfully this thing a death trap

like he said it's a work in progress, once everything is figured out he's doing a proper wiring harness

@@JonasDePrez1 That is not excusable. Most time attack cars are a work in progress and they almost always have neat, if not perfect wiring harnesses. The whole reason to have neat wiring IS to work on it.. Imagine trying to troubleshoot that rats nest. You also wouldn't know if it was the wiring or the component causing the trouble.

Lol kinda that thing is none of them and all of. Frankie baby
