It's not a bluetec motor. It's just over 400lbs.

I'm a big Diesel fan myself, your idea sounds awesome.

One million isn't really enough, i'd honestly buy a house in cash and quit my job and live off my wife's salary so I can get a job making crap wage at some performance shop working on cars all day.

I could swing it with a million. I have a funny story from when I was 20 and "almost" won 1/2 million. It's a long story, short version is, coworker and I couldn't agree to buy this $20 scratch off that was for 1 million instant tax free. I wanted to buy it, he didn't. 2 hours later a lady came in, purchased it and won the million. That sucked a lot, I was a very broke SOB back then.

I would hire you. you sexy sexy miata driver! You could be in our Mechanic's Calender too ;)

I absolutely love diesels. I got the idea after watching the Black Smoke Racing <-(link) diesel wagon on youtube. I started looking into Merc diesels and was just floored about the power they make while still being outrageously efficient.

Me too, I call her the Race Wagon. 2010 JSW TDI. Retired to make room for the miata at the track:

^props. Driving for driving for fun.

And good mpg on the track! My favorite was the guy in the Cayman that said my TDI was fast and wanted to know what mods I had. LOL, I told him, brake pads, fluid, tires? He then asked what it's HP was and left feeling sad.

Sorry for the thread jack.

To get us back on track, I think along with an LS7, I would also have to make a BMW Diesel powered NC2 with PRHT.

sweet.
