I know, I know. Just tossing ideas. IRS or not though, wouldn't the idea still apply? Just welding mounts onto the center section.

Enjoy crunched 2.5" exhaust if you plan to put it past the diff.

You can do a solid axle swap. Hyper did one and he's got this Miata thing down.

Do a 7.5" or V8R's CTS diff swap.

EO2K, hahah! I will choose to interpret that as "Prepare you rear end... for welding."
