Taxi - Supermiata project car

ACE set are first protos. The adjustability allowed us to evaluate different damping constants. We used these to determine the fixed settings in the production ACEs. Basically full soft everywhere letting the ACE control box stiffen things as needed.
Pinch welds unaltered.

Long time no update.
If our goal was to build a streetable track car, we nailed it, again. Unfortunately, our goal was trackable street car. We went too GT3, and not enough GT.
Taxi has spent a few months on the back burner while we finished up Vegas and spent some time with our 2013 FRS project "Blub".
Now, Taxi is back in the shop for some corrective measures.
Out will come the 2.0l engine with the big race cams, as it was simply too unruly on the street and doesn't run as well as we want Taxi "The GT Car" to run. In will go a milder engine.
Out will come the urethane diff mounts and Race engine mounts, for OE rubber and Mazdacomp rubber, respectively.
Out will come the high spring rate Xida Race, for a softer sprung set of something more streetable.
We're also moving forward on camshaft development that stalled out a few years back.
One last thing...
