Wow, it\u2019s been a long\u00a0<\/em>time since the last WTF Friday<\/a> post. A drought as long as this one isn\u2019t something I plan on repeating. Shout out to all of you who check the site every Friday for something new. I\u2019m going to put some work in to re-up my stash and make sure your time is support is rewarded appropriately.<\/p>\n This week, a Miata rolls through the WTF Friday archives.<\/p>\n V8 Mitatas are far less common in 2018 than they were in 2014, but an Ontario based twin turbo V8 Miata certainly raises an eyebrow on my head.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Sitting on Kijiji at $25,000 after three days the Mustang lifted Ford 5.0 has to Turbonetic t3 turbos hanging off either side. Fueling and ignition for the set up is handled by MSD.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n While horsepower figures are mysteriously unlisted the ad boasts 7s at 100 mph in the 1\/8th mile and 30 miles per gallon in the city.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Water and meth injection provide cooling and the owner states the car is a turn-key driver, and racer.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Exterior photos are not the focus but the body looks to be in reasonable shape considering the age. The hood is a little odd, but since the turbos (and much of the plumbing) sit above the fender line a stock unit is ruled out.<\/p>\n Similarly the interior isn\u2019t too crazy, aside from the visible plumbing running through the center console.<\/p>\n
