ZOMBIE.


Stripped


dash set in (to be painted black)


free seats


Cluster to steal a tach from





getting some body panels for free to make the car look complete again. (minus roof) cant wait to just have fun and rip.

 

Projects like this are why I'm a miataphile keep up the good work very interesting read

 

LOL i wonder the spring rates...


$20 invested including gas.

I cant forsee many other expenditures to the project until it runs.

 

what brand are those? let me know what you think of the perches and sleeves.

 

ebay brand. I dont have high expectations for performance, but the price was right.

I will be making custom perches for these so that i can get good height and i dont have any top hats for the oem shocks so i am going to make some raised height top hats to prevent bottoming out.

 

Anyone have any more pics of the car that this was from?

That car is Badass, checkout all their albums. The picture you posted is from "Larry's New Car"

 

Thanks!

Having checked the rulebook for the $2011 GRM challenge over i dont think i am able to do that anymore.

 

Planning over the last month to make this a GRM spec challenge car has paid off.

I have a direction and a plan on how to get it done.

Not much visually different, but seriously cleaned up.






What you see there is an oem miata steering wheel (non srs), all of the brackets drilled off with a spot weld bit and the pile of **** removed since the last round of pics.


I didnt have my angle grinder at my shop as it is with my honda at the cottage, so no serious weight reduction could be had. The car is almost down to the bare tub though. :mrgreen:

My plan:
Fully prepped and painted tub
8 point bolted in roll bar-to meet specification
OEM miata brake calipers and flex lines
Some sort of race compound brake pad
Corrado front rotors and sport miata rear rotors with custom adapters
RX7 clutch type rear end and axles (turbo spec)
Nissan KA24DE engine swap
Some sort of large turbo
turbo manifold made by me
through fender dentsport garage style exhaust
Some kind of suspension work.-TBD.

 

now we're getting back on track with a sick build keen to see this

 

I am going nutty and have an outrageous idea.

Does anyone have a BP 1.8 head gasket that i can have? need to do a little...research...

 

I have an old one from a 94 your welcome to but I'm in NJ so idk if it's worth shipping

 

Yeah, thanks for the offer.... i decided i was loco and should keep it simple.

no vtec head swaps.
