Subaru Justy + Miata Swap = Bad Idea? First test fitment! | MazdaRu Ep. 3

Welcome back to the MazdaRu saga — where logic goes to die and sketchy ideas come alive. This is Episode 3, we deconstruct my Subaru Justy and roll the Miata chassis underneath to see if it fits. Finally.

Things we learned:
🚫 The measurements we triple-checked? Not even close.
🧱 Firewall? Yeah… we cut most of it out.
🔥 Sparks fly as Jaime starts the fabrication chaos.
🧠 And yes, I pop out of the engine bay like a proud weirdo.

Also in this episode:
👀 Walkaround of the stripped Miata chassis
🔧 A glimpse at separating Miata subframes
🫡 The actual family history of the Subaru body we're using
😬 And a few solid reasons why this might be a terrible idea

Even though this was a summer project (yes, summer 2024), the project is still in the early stages but it’s already spiraling in the best way possible. Stick around for fabrication, rotary engine shenanigans, and possibly setting something on fire (on purpose?).
