Maybe its his rear diff oil cooler! One of those guys that thinks everyone puts intercoolers in the front, i think I will be different and put it in the rear. If it has a rear mount turbo kit it would make a little sense from a back yard mechanic stand point it might have been easier to put in the back. Anyway i think it looks lame.

 

wtf i would of pulled up next to him n said something

 

thats so f***ing funny i prolly woulda wrecked laughing my a** off

 

He has clearly performed the highly exclusive "rear engine swap". He is now FWD.

 

I was in the Altima.. and since it was turbo i didn't know exactly how quick it was.. but after he took off i could have definately caught him with the Altima

 

Definitely a Miata. Most cars get drag resistance in the rear bumper, I'm sure you've all seen the circular cut-outs in the rear to decrease drag on track cars. Maybe this guy was using it to his advantage and slapped on an intercooler instead.. LOL

 

Turbo lsx. There is zero room for the intercooler and turbo upfront so you do a complete rear mount setup. Kind of also helps weight balance if you use a large enough core. The wing increases df to allow minimal air underneath the car to keep temps low.

 

^ thats what i was thinking......

I dont like the look, but you gotta do what you gotta do........

 

That defintely looks weird but like was said miatas don't have room in the front really for anything other than an water to air, and air to air intercoolers function as really a heat sink. That set up doesn't seem optimal but it does something. I couldn't go out like that though I would have to hide that.

 

Maybe you should of asked him. I want facts for these reasons!

 

you are all wrong its his exhaust cooler.

 

im gonna do this for my Z

 

But I have seen Monster Maita's with turbo's and upfront IC...and they fit

 

HOLY SH*T! Maybe it's an RA built Miata? Any WA2GOOD sightings over on the Miata forums?

 

At least he can confidently go WOT......in reverse.

 

It's a rear bumper brace.

 

It's been done before, you need to do something original, like a trunk-mount unit that doubles as a wing.

 

LOL That's what I thought!

 

holy fok! i can just imagine the amount of pipings done to install that IC.

 

^

Not to mention there is no room under a miata to run anything. The IC piping must be 1/4" with a 1/4" to 2.5" adaptor lol.

And a buddy of mine has a turbo Miata and there is more than enough room in the front for a intercooler this size. The wing on the trunk says all we really need to know about this car.
