Hello all!
 

I'm currently building a 92 miata into what I hope to be a great all around track and street car. I'm building a tube chassis because the standard unibody would not hold up. I'm putting an 06 miata front sub-frame assembly and ford 9 inch with a 3 link with a watts link in the rear. The motor going in is a lq4 6.0 with a 75mm turbo. Trans will be a t-56 magnum. Goal is 650 + rear wheel hp.

I'm here for front strut advice and to troll around to see if theres any tube chassis miata pics for ideas.

I'm looking at megan racing front struts. Would they be good for drag and road racing?

Yes, that sounds like a street car.

Also do you mean track or do you mean strip? "Track" on this forum usually has turns. These aren't drag cars. I mean if you replace 60% of the car it could be I suppose.

Welcome.

Also: solid trolling, mate.

Thenuge26's foolproof formula to an 8 second miata!

1) Sell miata

2) Buy F-body Camaro or Foxbody Mustang

3) ???

4) Profit!

Welcome!

650? Psssh.. should be 800. Thats moar impressive.

8secondmiata, congrats on signing up at the best site on the web!

Oh, I'm not a straight line guy. Hence the 6 speed. I would like to go to any car event and do well whatever type of racing.

Then skip the Megans and proceed directly to Xidas. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

:jerkit:


:vash2:


:brain:

Am I missing something, I can't find xidas for 06 miata's.

ban

A few screws, yes.

They're in the "Full Blown AIDS" section.

too modified for street car. life is bitch.

Lol this is the warmest welcome ive ever gotten.

not saying much.

I'll just troll around. Seems most of who has posted would rather talk about being gay. I didn't expect most people to agree with what im doing. But im not one for a (me too!) car. I.E. no mustang or fbody.

Shut the fuck up Jim. You dont make any sense.

fail troll is fail.

What do you have against gay?

Do you even know what you are doing? "No big deal I'll just throw a front subframe from a completely different car on there, then put 650HP in it." Cool story bro, I'll believe it when I see it.

In the mean time, if you were thinking about Megan Racing "struts" then you have a lot of research to do. Good luck.

And thats why im here!

I think i'm going to start giving one piece of advice to every noob, tailored to their needs.


Yours: Aim low.

Awesome. Lots of people expect to be spoon fed. My favorite was "this is a forum right? It's here for people to ask stupid questions" or something like that. Of course all those stupid questions have been answered already, they just don't want to work. I thought the same a little when I first signed up (lol I was considering a supercharger).

Read as far in to the "build thread" section as you can. When you start getting to the threads where the pictures don't work anymore because they are so old then you will have the turbo knowledge of the Gods!

Thank you nuge.

Welcome to the site!

Did you guys miss the pictures he posted?

The guy obviously has some ideas that are well out of the ordinary, but it would certainly appear that he's not your average over-ambitious 16 year old. Hope he stays around long enough to get the car together.

I'll be around pedexta. However its gonna be a good bit. Im just now starting the tube chassis. My idea for the 06 front suspension was it netted bigger brakes and 5 lug to match the for 9 inch. So wheel will match. I dont have struts or coilovers yet. Witch is the main reason im here. You guys know miatas in and out. And know how to make them handle better. Only difference is my weight distribution will be made 50/50 and my cg might be a bit higher.

Will it have a carb on it?

its not hard to post pics of a starting project

the trick is, to finish it

No fuel injection, 95 lbs injectors so I can run e85 in kill mode. Will have a 93 tune as well for driving to work. Lolhttp://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/...psaf51a7cc.jpg

Its already been done once but with a 347 ford and factory irs with the thunder bird 8.8. It put down 375 to the wheels.
