Its time for me to start my built log . I have start the projet in january and i have work on it part time .I have start collecting suspension part for it since the engine is still in my miata and its my daily driver. The engine as a gt28r turbo and forge internal + 6 speed tranny so its gone run fast . Its gone have mustang II front end , thunderbird irs and wide tire . The chassis is built from scratch and will feature a roll cage . Its gone be my replacement car for the miata so its will be a dual purpose car for lapping and for street . Feel free thanck add comment even if it hurt because i would like to not making mistake or unsafe thing . thanck you FRANCOIS

Hey Francois nice to see you post here finally

Nice, Love the cage...Man those rear fenders look wide... This is what I need...

Keep it up !!!

Will you be at the Time Attack Sunday at St-Eustache ?

Cheers,

Fred

Looks great so far, is the differential from an Explorer or is it just the rear cover?

FRED i will not be there sunday because of my full mastercard . I gone work really on it the 2 first week of july because im gone be in vacation .I have a lot of part that i gone receive soon (mastercard).
FIREBAT45 the diff cover is from explorer , housing from mustang (alloy) and everything else is thunderbird

I have receive a bunch of part i gone post the pic as soon i have take it

thanck you everyone

Is it just me, or do you have a solid axle setup on your frame, with an IRS differential?

Don't think that's gonna work dude. I would stop and take a look at the Rorty IRS plans, and maybe some others before you get too far.

Francios, looks good, I'm curious why aren't you going to use the Miata suspension bits?

I know the tube at the rear are setup like for a solid diff but i made it in 2 part just for holding the rear for starting the cage , when i gone done the diff cradle ,i gone remove it .

I dont use much of the miata suspension bit because in the back ,with the width of the frame , fender and tire i need 63 '' betwen hub so miata diff to narrow +easy access to wide gear ratio.

For the front , i want 5 bolt patern to fit the mag + i want big brake + im still using my miata until october so my goal is to make a rolling chassis before that

Here some pic of my new part

Geeez Francois, I thought I had too much brakes with 10.25 inch vented disc

We had a nice event last Sunday... next one is Shanonville... Hopefully I'll have a locost there to drive

Cheers,

Fred

im gone be at shanonville and i hope to see you in action . I have put that size of brake because im tired of the brake overheat in my miata.

I need to go check my car it might be on blocks! I have the same wheels, I love them! Nice build, can't wait to see more.
