yaristurbo Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 Yeah lol its about in just making sure it supported well and there's ground clearance Quote
morgey Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Yeah you tried it with the gearbox on there? Im assuming you'll have to cut the firewall away and rebuild the tunnel abit? Quote
yaristurbo Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 Yeah gearbox is bolted on and a temp bracket on gearbox Quote
turbo Grant Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 This has also been on my mind! Good luck with it Quote
yaristurbo Posted August 26, 2014 Author Posted August 26, 2014 Haven't forgot about this still on with it engine and box mounted Bit of a crap pic for now Quote
morgey Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Nice way of mounting it using the oem mointing points haha I woulda cut them out and prob made a subframe sorta thing but if it works then why not!Sits nice and low in there tbf though. Whats ground clearance looking like? Quote
yaristurbo Posted August 27, 2014 Author Posted August 27, 2014 Ground clearance is shocking hence why I scrapped the lower subframe Idea, will try and get better pics today Quote
yaristurbo Posted August 31, 2014 Author Posted August 31, 2014 still busy just on the look out for a rear end need to measure the wheel base of a mx5 and figure out mounting, working on steering rack too Quote
Clinternational Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Wicked project! dude :) Are you planning on using the stock suspension on the front ? like hubs, shock, wishbone etc ? Quote
yaristurbo Posted September 1, 2014 Author Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks up to press it's on coilovers wound down to the bottom, and everything standard, steering going in soon, was gonna use a narrowed s13 frame but upto press I haven't needed to Quote
morgey Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Oh good point, what about the bearings in the front hubs? Just chuck a old cv joint in and leave it or gut it and make it a bit neater? Quote
yaristurbo Posted September 1, 2014 Author Posted September 1, 2014 Gut it and trim, so it's small but yet strong Quote
morgey Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Yeah thats what id prob do. Unless there was a rwd hub easy to fit with a higher steering arm so you could use it with, with less steering angle on the steering rack. Edited September 1, 2014 by morgey Quote
yaristurbo Posted September 1, 2014 Author Posted September 1, 2014 I had to relocate the rack forward so it sits under the sump extend the steering coloum and change the front hubs Quote
yaristurbo Posted September 3, 2014 Author Posted September 3, 2014 And the drill and some bolts will all be removable and done right Quote
morgey Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Looking good. Id like a good look around this either before or when its finished Quote
