making an FC turbo II trans adapter or bell housing.
#22
I've actually been kicking this around over the past few days... If somebody could get me a really good dimensioned drawing, I could get a few adapters done pretty cheap.
Material is going to be more than $60 unless some turns up at a scrap yard, though, and CNC time isn't free...

so i kind of f'd up by being lazy and not measuring for myself... i need a 14x15 piece of plate... bad thing is that i already called about the 12x14 and they said they can cut the new piece but they are gonna charge me for both since they already cut the one. i tried to explain that i have no use for a piece thats too small and but the sales woman was pretty rude and said tough crap and that i had to buy both...i told her ill take neither and im now looking for another source for the plate... on the plus side i picked up my 1.8 miata torsion lsd complete rear end

i pulled the rear end out of the spitfire for a little comparison... the stock spitfire rear end assembly weighs at least 2/3 if not 3/4 of what the whole miata drop out weighs. damn cast iron. with it out i can lift the rear of the frame off the ground with one hand.

more updates... pick n pull now puts all BP miatas in their premier yard... and charges alot more for the parts... either way i got a complete 94 front subframe. the sway bar to a hit but i was planning on upgrading it any ways so im not too concerned about it. everything else looks perfect.
i love my 12sec micro van
everything stacked neatly waiting on the tubing to build my new frame
