Yosan;

Welcome to the .org! As an owner of a 6cyl swapped ti myself, I have to say, that looks clean. However;

1. Get those mounts fixed ASAP! Yikes!!

2. The suspension looks like it is at an odd height, i.e. too high for a swapped car. And those rims are from an e39 (different offset (-20mm vs -46mm for an e36)), so the tires look too small (probably so they wouldn't rub). Not a bad thing, but it looks like the PO didn't really do too much if anything to upgrade the suspension and handling.

I own an NA stock class track Maita and a nice streetable NB Miata as well as a non-swapped Ti. It's fun to decide which one to drive on any given day!
