Did Sav ever do a thread regarding that sweet fastback top he has in his sig? I did not find it. I have been thinking about something like that since I got interested in Miatas. These cars have perfect lines for a fast back, and if you sinply remove the trunk lid you get a ton of space to boot. No need to go with exactly OEM dimensions. It would probably be stupid expensive though.

 

See Autokonexion over at clubroadster.net

 

1500 at autokonexion. pretty cheap for a body conversion if you ask me. granted you already have a hardtop :(

 

If you have a single hoop roll bar, start layering duct tape from the windshield pillar to the back. Instant hard top, for under $50. 10 layers should be enough to make it rigid enough to not flap around.

 

Yarp!

 

This. I was just talking to a buddies dad who has a 93 911 putting down 600-some odd horsepower. He said it cost him 5k for his suspension and 25k to get his pistons put in... Had a shop do it, but still that's a ******* lot of money. It would probably cost 10k for a Miata.

 

What type of miata are you driving?

 

Yeah. But its not a fastback

Thanks, I will take a look.



I have been lokking into fiberglassing and carbon fiber fab. Its not complex, just a skill you have to build up. I am really pondering just doing my own hardtop when the time comes from fiberglass. Take the money saved and put it toward a cage or nice roll bar.

 

Sometimes life is fair and you can find them for $400

 

This is such bullshit.
