Just wanted to give a huge thank you to Emilio and Ed at 949Racing for helping me with my suspension questions. New front sway bar (solid .93" OD) and Xida Race coilovers with the billet coaxial mounts ordered today. Ended up with 550f/350r spring rates.

I like to see what the final weight is going to be and if the intake will fit under the stock hood. I am doing this swap near the end of the year with a goal of 1400lbs and 300whp

Damn, 1400 is low! I think I could remove the windshield, headlights and brake lights, but not sure if there is much else. Oh, get those fancy carbon fiber seats they mention every now and then on the Exocet FB group. They don't look very comfortable though and are expensive as hell. I never weighed the car with the NB motor but I definitely will with the LFX in it. |
Got the Kmiata PPF Delete kit in and the diff reinstalled. I had to clearance the big and little holes on the lower ppf delete mount for the subframe bolts about 3mm on the passenger side for both sides. It was really close, but just couldn't get the bolts in no matter what I tried. Got the RC1's mounted as well. Ordering all the wiring this week to start down that rabbit hole. A huge thanks to Ryan for sharing his wiring size doc! And another note for anyone with an Exocet, the jack stands I'm using are amazing and I'm not scared for my life everytime I go under the car. Highly recommend these!

I have a 3/4" Jacfab intake spacer so the intake manifold that people typically make a cutout for is even higher. Fingers crossed I don't have to cut!

Mine is right at 1500 lbs with a half tank, VVT 1.8. Here is the seats I'm about to order, 6 week lead time. they are moulded from the Lotus Exige seats
That sounds about right. I figured I was at 1550lbs with an NB turbo setup. Where is the rest of the weight loss coming from? Do you have a build thread for the Exo? |

Those aren't too bad in price and look awesome. I thought you were talking about the Tillet seats.

I said fuck it and I'm going to rock my NB rear diff with the OS Giken LSD and 3.91 gears. Should make it easy to do burnouts! But yeah, first gear will be worthless.

Thanks for the order Luke! Awesome things going on here. Sub'd.

I would like to see how much room is between the valve covers and the hood. I might just make a Intake manifold for this occasion.

Had a longer than expected delay waiting on the new oil pan. V8R is sorting it out though and will hopefully have it out soon. Got the subframe mocked up and was struggling to get all the bolts in and couldn't figure out why. Looked at the old stock miata subframe that came off the car and it turns out the Exocet subframe mounts appear to be slightly off. Fun! You can see where the previous owner had to clearance the miata subframe holes so it would mount up to the Exocet fame. I'm in the process of lining up the subframe and making it perfectly even on both sides versus just opening the holes on one side like was done previously. Also ordered more energy suspension magic lube to get all the poly bushings nice and lubey.
