Wide bodied, fastbacked, turbo charged, time attacking MX5
 
I recently bought this car as a roller. So no motor, box, diff, brakes, roof, seats, etc.
I installed NB sub frames, B.C coilovers, fully built 1.8l BP motor with custom built Garrett turbo. 3.6 Torsen all on the same same day I bought it home. Will take me a couple of months to get it finished. But it's a start.

I have some nice fat rotors on custom made alloy hats with C4 Corvette calipers going on.

This is the reason I was able to get the whole driveline installed in around 2 hours.

Pretty much looks like this at the moment.

This motor has been built to make very big power. It has been on an engine dyno, made silly power, and an external wastegate went on so we could reduce the power to keep the gearbox alive until I upgrade it. This time I will get it tuned to make max power. If the box blows up, then I will swap in something stronger.

I will build this to suit WTAC Clubsprint rules. We have a Victorian (my state) Time Attack event as well. They use the same rules as WTAC, and it is held at my favourite track, Phillip Island.
I would like this car ready by February so I can start testing it for the local event in April.
I will drive it on the road, but it's more of a track car.
