where are the first and second?

Is that sway even connected to the control arms?! Physics laws had to of been broken in that dude's head. |
It's connected to that bracket that ties everything together. Control arm - coilover - sway bar - frame. It's a 4 point bracket.
That design is actually pretty neat and seems like it would work very well. Though, that bracket seems like it would be under a ton of unneeded stress. |

Bell crank. I knew what the word was, just wasn't ringing a bell.

That design hurts my head. I'd love to see an expert driver get more out of it vs. an optimized and lighter "standard" setup.

You guys ready for this?
Problem: 3" intercooler inlet/outlet. 2.5" throttle body inlet. Essentially no income whatsoever. Solution: Use hacksaw (too poor for sawzall) to hack open old muffler, which contained 3" to 2.5" reducer. Use wire brush to make it sortof acceptable for welding. Make this: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...1&d=1360284347 After cutting the upper intake manifold and rotating it (it used to point directly over the valve cover to receive hot air directly from the turbo), I replaced the radiator with a Saab 900 radiator (shorter) and ran the intercooler plumbing over the top. As you can see on the right, I didn't measure the piping very well, but hey, silicone tubes stretch! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...1&d=1360284347 Finally, the intercooler needed air. Cut the fascia open and ran black door trim around the cuts. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...1&d=1360284347 SMH :fael::vash: |
HA! left you all speechless with my custom radiator mounts and non-cluttered engine bay.

Few things I have made.
Through fender intercooler piping for Miata https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360452735 Log manifold for B6 miata. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360452735 Bottom mount t3/t4 manifold for BP miata. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360452735 Mid pipe for 1JZ Lexus SC400 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360452735 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360452735 Cold air intake for Honda Civic B16 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360452735 More to come soon. Im building a top mounted small diameter runner for a paying friend of mine right now. I will be posting pictures as I take them on my Facebook page. www.facebook.com/HellaFab |

I took a spin at making brackets to mount the seats I have for sale. The bracket turned out alright. I have some work to complete it. The spacing on the seat mounts made me add a second level or else the bolts don't fit.
Ok welds for flux core? I used 1/8" x 3" steel flat bar and 1/8" thk 3/4" angle. |
Very nice welds for flux core, I recognize the splatter instantly. A \_/ shaped wire wheel in my drill gets 85% of mine, a chisel and grinder get the rest.
|
Take a steel file, grind the end of it down into a wedge shape.
1 or more less tools to have laying around. :) |

I'm wondering why no one has tried to do a bell crank/ cantilever rear suspension on a Miata. Its a fantastic solution to the issue of not having enough travel at low ride heights. Not to mention the serious amount of adjustment.

I made some welds too...
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1362676524 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1362676524 And I did my turbo drain again. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1362676524 |
It makes me cry that my welds will probably never look that good.

Take a class at a community college and they will teach you the basics.

Made a fixture plate for my manifold to try to keep the flanges flat when I weld them. I ended up making it out of the 1/2" 304 that I was going to make the flanges out of because its what I had. BUT BMC race might be 2-3 weeks late on getting the flanges done so I next week I'm likely going to end up turning these into flanges and buying to thicker hot rolled steel to re-make the fixture plates out of.
