![]() I don't know if I've buggered up somewhere but I'm certain I could fit the long angled engine bay brace tubes.
![]() ![]() I'll need to not use the inlet manifold brace but it'll otherwise clear especially on the exhaust side. I've also fitted the rad. I'll use a pusher fan. ![]() ![]() I've also fitted the steering column frame and welded in the rear end and seat frames. Just waiting for a coupler before I can complete the steering. I stupidly forgot to get the key and immobiliser box from the engines original car. It'll make wiring the engine a lot harder. I ultimately want to use a mega squirt ecu so I may go straight to that. |

![]() My sump sits 50mm below the chassis so I thought it would hinder this even more. I'm using a mk1 inlet which might make a difference.

![]() The rear lower arms I made 20mm longer than suggested by the plans as many were reporting their adjusters were wound out a long way to achieve correct geometry. I would probable revise this to only 10mm longer if I were making them again.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They're in. They clear everything but I might have to trim back/remove the inlet support bracket lug from one of the inlet runners. I wonder how much the engine mounts will allow the engine to move as well. Either way the front end looks a lot more stout. I might still put a cross brace in the front frame too. Can anyone tell me what flexi hoses they used and where they put the chassis lugs for them please? |

![]() Hi Gavin good to see another mx5 build!! The strut brace you have put in on the drivers side I was told on this forum it's not needed as the mx5 uses a collapsible steering colum!?!? I would just check your height for the body work! Nice to see someone else making everything takes longer but it's defiantly bespoke good work fella keep it up!

![]() Thanks, I didn't think the collapsible column had much to do with ommiting the brace? I beleived it was due to clashing with the inlet manifold cast brace that extends down the block. I'm leaving that out of my build so I can fit the extra chassis tube which should reduce chassis flex.

![]() Can anyone advise on what offset 13 wheels one would fit to our cars?
I'm looking at 13x7 front and 13x8 minilites but I can't find any definite offsets used for such a wheel. |

![]() I used team dynamics 1.2 wheels ET38 I think, best to get a template of the wheels you like to be sure, what brakes are you using? 1.8 or 1.6?
