I've had the great privilege to learn from the best (Moti). What he does next with Morpheus will be entirely epic, and yes it will take a while

So why transfer all the suspension/etc to the other car? Wouldn't it be easier to just transfer the motor to Morpheus? Or is there something else going on?

Yes, something else is going on.
I've been waiting for some answers from suppliers before I go ahead and start talking about *what* is going on.
It took much longer than I anticipated, but I got the last answer I was waiting for last night.
You'll know very soon what I'm doing with Morpheus.

"Talking about stuff related to suppliers before things are finalized always helps me seal the deal"

-no one smart, ever.

mid engine Miata (offset to passenger side) sounds like an idea to me.

I'm guessing Turbo+Honda engine with BMW 6-speed gearbox.

- either that or:

- 0-60 times mean nothing when you can reach the finish line before you even start!
TIP: You might want to use something more substantial than those PVC fittings.
