I thought it was the cool way to drive these days, all 'gangsta'. Maybe that's just Australia?
The wheel will be bucket loads lower. Just messing around and it felt right doing it
Ok so update from todays effort. And i'm sure that Talonmotorsport and Voodoo might like some of these pics.
So knuckled down again today to continue. Seeing as the welder is coming, Dad mentioned it would be a shame to not have it completely ready to go for him in case he could get more done. So i continued on.
Also my mate with the Recaro seats from the RVR came around with one to test fit it. They actually fit worse than the Mazda. So we made a few ammendments and cut out part of the transmission tunnel top brace, and one of the diagonals in the side of the chassis. IT FITS. Just need to do some modifications to the chassis to keep it's strength.
Before the cutting to fit the MX5 seat.
After the cutting to make the bloody seat fit!!!
Diff carrier starting to look pretty good.
Yep, looking pretty damn good.
Fairly complicated to attempt to work out how to get it all lined up, and the machining of the tubes around the bucket bushes was an interesting exercise in milling. Gotta love having a father who is a mechanical engineer and a fitter and turner by trade with a COMPLETE engineering workshop in his back shed.
