LS swapped MX-5s are becoming more common every day, to the point no one would blink an eye when one blows pass them on the highway.
However, Andrew Coulombe from Thousanddollarcarguy has put a unique spin on a V8 MX-5 by adding the body of a Festiva on top of it.
Using a 1990 Miata, which he picked up for $US400 ($AUD590) and transformed into a “kart”, Andrew ditched the original four-cylinder engine and upgraded to a 5.3-litre turbo LSX.

After completely gutting the hatchback, very little work was needed in order for the shell to sit flush with the chassis, as the MX-5 and Festiva share a similar wheelbase.
It only took a couple of months to complete and it shows with some dodgy elements that include wooden body mounts and a battery, which is “connected to the exhaust”.
Now Andrew’s aim is for the car to feature in Hoonigan's Burnout Challenge... after he makes it "safe".
