So my build hit a bit of a speed bump, since my 2004 MX-5 was totaled at a Red Light where I was rear ended. I am still trying to get things together so I can get on track to have the engine be ready to start.
I picked up a 2006 Cobalt SS for my new DD running 17 psi on the supercharger https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1438045955 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1438045955 I'm working on widening the fenders 30mm and make moulds of them to make them into composite https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1438045955 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1438045955 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1438045955 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1438045955 |

So I mad some progress today after installing my newly built crossmember. The factor crossmember weighed 29.2 lbs and after it weighs 27.8 lbs, so no weight added is a good thing. The engine is now sitting an inch lower than before.

Are you going to retain the power steering?

Finished trunk is on the heavy side at 3 Lbs 1oz but not bad for the first one.

Glad to see this car is still being messed with.

I am curious as to why you cut the fenders instead of leaving them long and offset. Seems like that gaping exit port would be just as good for brake cooling and I think it looks better.

I might make new inner fenders out of carbon instead of kevlar |

I was more wondering about the fiberglass vanity panel instead of just leaving the ugly raw unibody there.
