After a little more than a year it finally sees the road. Many thanks to the bunch on this site for all the guidance and encouragement.

One of the big things left to solve now is the reverse :), button up the body work and clean up the wiring. Oh and my cable shifter does not feel to be going above 4th. Away, here is the obligatory 1st video...

For those who do not know the car. It started as an Mk Indy Kit car, but I made a lot of modifications to get it to run the Mazda Miata suspension and a couple other little things that I did not like.

Congratulations are in order..... :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Looks like a LOT of front camber. Oh, and you'll need a new hat. It looks like it was lost in all the fun.

Congratulations. Very nice!...It seems the old "slip the tires, not the clutch" race car technique suits this car pretty well. :mrgreen:

Congratulations! Its a great looking car. I particularly like the roll bars, the shape of the front hoop and the top bars. I can hardly wait to get to the first drive too.
