Yes
Wide body looks good on this Miata. What engine you using ?
1.8 swap with big turbo
still waiting on dyno, but realistic numbers are around 220 according to iphone/gtech/whatever else you can think of we have tried
1.8 swap ? what was it before swap 1.6...1.8 swap with big turbo

you guys value paint too much
it will be painted after i leave to go to saudi ina few weeks
i think i saw it on youtube the other day...not sure if same car
you did
i just uploaded some stuff the other day
like sunday
car looks good, keep it up
nice pics....but big turbo does not equal 220..
just say turbo
no, but big turbo, with super awesome fuel and tuning do
Sorry it looks like HELL.
The cage isn't even legal with your head sticking above it and the bars are too low. The body kit is ricier than Japanese squirl shit and the wheels look like they came straight from Pep Boys.
Clean the engine bay up too, dear God...lol.
hehe, thanks simon! ill entertain it
Kit is the only one i could find that accented the factory body lines. The factory door line is carried through hte bumper and rear fenders, and i dont have to mold anything in which is a plus on a track car
roll bar not legal. Yep, you are KINDA right, but not really. even with your head poking out, it is 100% legal for most pro/am series. some not since my rear diagonals dont go to the strut towers, and the bar behind hte driver is curved to allow more behind seat clearance. But is 100% legal for road racing/autox
However, when and if i decide to migrate to pro/am the seats i have arent FIA approved, so once i go to an FIA Side mount seat, it will drop me down abuot 3 inches, putting me under the roll cage. so it has been thought of for sure. But even if i roll over how it is now, it will still save my life, i may have a concussion, but a concussion is better than nothing
The overall design may be legal but I can't tell from the pics, I just see a huge failure of passing the broom stick test at a road course event. As for it saving you now, MAYBE, your head is ABOVE THE BARS, unless you duck your head will take the blow before the cage. lol
If you don't have real race seats in it right now you're right though it will lower it, although those front bars from the main hoop still look low in general.
oh yeah, no doubt it wont pass a REAL tech how it is now. My seats are too high for it to pass. I know that for sure
With say sparco sprints and low mount rails, its 100% low enough to clear the roll cage. And without a helmet on and daily driving my head is a few inches since my seat goes back a bit when im not seriously driving. I mean, its a micro machine, gotta make changes for when i want to compete!
WRONG
However, a concussion is better than death.But, I like. I'd drive it. It looks like a fun car (especially with the 302)... definitely not pretty though.
What'd you do with your 1.8 turbo stuff?
sold it all as soon as the engine blewWRONG
However, a concussion is better than death.
What'd you do with your 1.8 turbo stuff?
i have a 350z as a daily now, so this is th track car....
Once its painted, itll be really pretty, soooon
Well, the build has gone pretty bad up until here.
Problems?
Massive amounts of bolts i had to keep going to get, spending wayy too much time
People that say they will have a part, or have something done on a certain day, or fabricate something, and not. I had 4 major things that took 2-3 days more on each part, setting me back almost a week on fabrication.
I had to raise the engine and tranny, engine 3/5 inches, tranny 2.5 inches to keep ground clearance where i needed it. i will not sacrifice my ride height...period
powdercoating took 3 days longer than anticipated, engine mounts took 3 days longer, parts ordering, and wrong parts took a few days, still dont have parts for a driveshaft, still waiting on delrin diff bushings, and crap
but for now, it looks like this:

this is the steering shaft/header/block clearance.
overall
IMG_0657 by Flsimages, on Flickr
IMG_0658 by Flsimages, on Flickr
you can see i spaced down the sway bar bracket, SUPER temporary, will be redoing it with more bracing, and different spacers. just wanted to get it together
IMG_0659 by Flsimages, on Flickr
raised the whole steering rack an inch also to help with tie rod angle
IMG_0660 by Flsimages, on Flickr
custom engine mounts. used Martin's v8 plates, with 3 inches welded on top to clear the subframe
the oil pan was LITERALLY 3 inches below the subframe....wtf?
IMG_0661 by Flsimages, on Flickr
interior as it sits right now
IMG_0662 by Flsimages, on Flickr
my horrible welding. had to cut the whole tranny tunnel out and raise it to clear things
IMG_0663 by Flsimages, on Flickr
passenger side clearances. with an elbow welded on the collector, should tuck perfectly down there
IMG_0664 by Flsimages, on Flickr
lowest point now is the subframe in the front
IMG_0665 by Flsimages, on Flickr
modified frame rails, and spacers on the top of the tranny mount. will need to cut where the member meets teh frame parts and raise it up as high as i can when it gets to florida
IMG_0666 by Flsimages, on Flickr
harmonic balancer clearance
IMG_0668 by Flsimages, on Flickr
already welded up the overcut my dad did lol
had to cut the covering for the vert bolt holes since with the roll cage, i cant pull the top off. so now i can throw a wrench on there and pull it for the bikini top usage
IMG_0669 by Flsimages, on Flickr
cant this damn thing off
IMG_0671 by Flsimages, on Flickr
you can see how im cutting the AC bracket. it is re purposed for the powersteering
