So just a couple pics to show the scale of the car. Also the seating position is pretty laid back. Currently the suspension is designed around a bespoke upright. In the near future i will be designing a suspension around the Miata units. Also the uprights need to be defined a bit more so I can actually mount calipers to them.
As for actually constructing this car; hopefully i will be able to start building up the rear pod before the end of the year. I am also building the steering wheel. I have the paddle shifters, quick release and main body made. Just waiting on my cnc to that I can cut out the face plate.
What I plan to do is install a turbo charged sportbike engine into this with a chain drive diff. Doing it that way keeps the weight down and allows the use of paddle shifters and i can mount the spedo pretty easily. Of course I have designed the chassis so you can fit a larger engine in the engine bay and you can even install a Mendeola transaxle within the rear pod.
Anyway guys, as I keep designing and building I will keep posting pics. If you have any questions or ideas to make the design better, please feel free to share.
Thank you guys for all your help with the post so far.
