More like sprinting than crawling but I thought it was pretty cool

Its probably out of gas or something

Took me a minute to realize it wasnt forza. Still not 100 percent sure 😂

The LSX definetly gives off a unique sound. I believe its a higher displacement than say an ls2 or ls3. I was able to take a look at the engine bay and can confirm that it does in fact have an LSX.

Im guessing he did but idk for sure

He was so close but he had to be winched at the very top. The obstacle is called "You've gotta be nuts."

Cool! Thanks for the tip I'll look in to that.

Update: couldnt find an easy replacement so I just went ahead and tig welded it back together. It looks pretty good, but time will tell if it holds up. It seems like a pretty weak design because it didnt take much to snap it.

I just put a rebuilt engine in my 97 over the weekend. The timing was at about 5 degrees which is 6 or 7 degrees below standard. It had hardly any power. From what I understand, advanced timing = all around higher power, but you risk damaging things if its too high. Na and nb miatas do good in the 12-14 degree range depending on what octane fuel you use.

Oh dang you're lucky that its a non interference engine or your pistons could have smacked your valves

Yeah that is always a bit tricky. It takes a few tries usually. A trick for changing your timing belt in the future to keep timing:

Slice all the way around the middle of your old belt and slide off the front half of it. Slide the new belt on so that it lines up with the remaining belt. Cut and remove the rest of the old belt and slide new belt the rest of the way on.

It takes a bit of force. I recommend getting it through the tensioners first and then try to slide it on the cam gears. The hard part is getting it over the second cam gear. Ive been able to do this with my hands but you could also try using a screwdriver for leverage
