The Banshee Pay-off [S5 Ep.10-1]

It's back! It's done!! AND it's WILD! The Banshee comes full circle as Stacey walks you thru the complete buildup of this incredible V8 powered Miata, and then takes it out for a good flogging! If you've ever dreamed of owning a Cobra or Corvette, but you needed something more reliable and affordable, this is one project you have to check out! If you've always considered the Mazda Miata a girl's car...you HAVE to check this out! If you think that it's impossible to have a reliable car with power windows, Air conditioning, and a real working top, that is ALSO blisteringly FAST...YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT! The best part is this is a car you can actually build and afford...and that's what real Hot Rodding is all about!

@khammett12 yeah wheres the finished prodect? i wanna see him hooning the crap out of it

He was showing as a show/go car not a budget build by any means. I would not use the body kit personally as for the crate motor you can rebuild one or find one at a junkyard that will have enough go for the little car. As for the chrome accessories and brackets I personally believe chrome does not make a car faster, and more then likely the same thing in a black power coat would do just as well. The T5 and rear end again junk yard finds that are rebuilt and you have a budget rice slayer.

I agree that the price of this build was reasonable but its not low-buck. Anyone at Speed live in the real economy? Great build, but I'm willing to bet Stacey could outdo this if challenged to build something using absolutely nothing new except paint, brakes and tires (like many of us real world scroungers) I completely restored my '65 stang from basket case to show winner for under $10K What can be built with scrap yard engines, elbow grease and creativity can out-"wow" many $50K builds

Where is the rest of the episode?

[hellion240sx]

Then the whole mess was unmercifully rammed down the throat of the tiny miata... LOL

@pacohouston Well it's not starter car cheap, but it's cheaper than anything of that performance level made right now. And all the kits he used and the new parts, plus the crate engine, mean that you can do this a lot cheaper yourself if you give it the initiative. For example, build your own 302, a T5 from a junkyard Mustang, rebuild a junkyard 9" rearend, adapt disc brakes from a parts store for a newer model car, etc. There is plenty more, but do it yourself and you can afford it!

@pacohouston this car was made with a $20,000 budget if thats not cheap to you get a f*cking job

[pacohouston]

You need new producers because your show is getting boring you need new projects and be at level on the budget of the average guy.
