STi motor in the ft86 chassis and rwd would fine by me lol. You lose less vs its normal awd setup, tons of tq for a 4 cyclinder, I can dig it.

LS1 motor is 40lbs heavier than a standard 1.8L motor out of a miata. No frame cutting, maybe some transmission tunnel grinding, and a different cross-member. Basically if you want 350+rwhp in a miata its cheaper to do an LSx swap lol.

I wander what size tires you can fit under the ft86 chassis, hopefully wide as holy hell lol.
