We want more pics, you know no one loves you more than us.

Scuba_Steve 03-22-2009 06:57 PM

When I first opened this thread I saw the meats on the back of the car and thought "Holy Shit" what is in that car. Then I loooked at who started the thread and remembered you had some big plans.

Like Rafa, I want to see the engine and vids, vids, vids.

You make some sacrifices to go fast. But, I can hop in the car and drive to Houston and back.....that's streetable IMO.

mikef85 03-22-2009 07:02 PM

Can't make any new videos right now.

Had to send the Big Stuff in for some additions.

tubb ftw :)

ApexOnYou 03-22-2009 07:24 PM

Looking good Mike. You'll have to post some pics up of the tub. You should give that White NB stroker a run for its money.. lol

HAHA....that thing doesn't stand a chance....even with me on DR

He has a very small percentage of the HP I have.

ApexOnYou 03-22-2009 07:41 PM

Hence the "lol". Are you planning on running competitively this year?

mikef85 03-22-2009 07:47 PM

Not sure. The car is too light to fit in any real "class"

18psi 03-22-2009 07:49 PM

what size are the snails? (or snail)

And I was about to say: wtf kind of class would you even run in with that thing? LOL
It reminds me of that viper engined motorcycle, the hammerhead or whatever. A big ass engine with wheels attached

ApexOnYou 03-22-2009 07:59 PM

What are you running for a cage? I'm assuming you'll need a chute after the first run..

dc2696 03-22-2009 08:00 PM

Mother fucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note size of wastegate (s) and imagine why I would need that. That gives you an idea.

Definitely a fairly high HP build.

Haha, I have all the safety stuff. Note how well the license plate covers everything up though.

It's a custom chassis...down to 6.0 1/4 mile in a 3200 LB car....

I can run whatever the heck I want to.

miatamania 03-22-2009 09:47 PM

Dude, quality.

9671111 03-22-2009 10:24 PM

It's a sacrilege you're not giving us all the deets.

pdexta 03-22-2009 10:41 PM

I don't even know what to say. That is just amazing. :bowdown:

messiahx 03-22-2009 10:58 PM

Holy shit man. Streetable? You should probably have a wheelie bar attached just in case you sneeze while driving around. Can't wait for vids!

Already taken care of. The wheelie bar mounts are on the rear housing, you just can't see it in the pics.


BTW, I have done all of the fabrication myself...aside from the cage work. Quite impressive for me to look back on what I have accomplished.

mikef85 03-23-2009 12:01 AM

All the time I've been here and the great things I have brought to the miata community and I only have two friends....It makes it hard for me to sleep at night.

I invision this is what it is like for Hustler.

I guess it's good I am self-sustained....haha.

More pics will come later guys. You don't have to harass me about it.:giggle:

You guys won't get good engine bay shots until I make the first video of the car...which will have track runs in it.

Hoping to have that ready by the end of April, but could be as late as the end of May. All this fabricating takes a good bit of time.

RotorNutFD3S 03-23-2009 12:18 AM

Wow. That's all I can find to say. Words escape me and I cannot wait to see pictures of the engine, or the rest of the car for that matter. You're my hero. lol

Machismo 03-23-2009 11:53 AM

Funny...... I was just thinking last night what a "tub" would like.
That's just proper right there! Nice work my man. ;)

gospeed81 03-23-2009 01:34 PM

Wow, just wow. Immmmmpressive.


I'm about to have to make a trip to somewhere south of Houston to see this beast in person.

Mike....I'd love to see an update on this.

Robert told me a little about it, but I have to see video...and just how far overboard you went building this.

I heard your goals were...um...high to say the least.

icantthink4155 10-23-2009 08:59 AM

This is the only thread I have set to email me about updates. Love to know whats up.

18psi 10-23-2009 09:01 AM

Yeah wtf is going on? This beast should be up and driving by now.

Faeflora 10-23-2009 01:19 PM

Fuck please fix your photobucket the only picture i can see is of your massive tires :(

Bryce 11-12-2009 02:17 PM

I've lost contact with him. :(

Bryce 03-24-2010 01:56 PM

Time for an update. The Miata has been sitting. He's been busy with a new Busa and a fully built turbo Vette. :)

Tell him there's a local interested if he wants to unload it cheap.

18psi 03-24-2010 06:38 PM

I gave up hope on this project already :mad:

^This. Still.

Bryce 03-11-2012 11:36 PM

He sold the Miata. Luckily it was to someone local. Hopefully they'll come around here or another Miata forum and get the build finished. I've defriended Mike and ceased all contact with him for selling it.
