Talon Chassis

[CarlW]

Hi Guys,

About to order a Talon Chassis, the TMXR one.
I am going to build as Sierra kit but with Zetec 2.0L engine, Type 9 Transmission and Sierra diff.

Any issues you foresee before I order the flat pack?


Cheers!

The tmxr is for the mx5 donor just ask him for the standard chassis kit of you are using a sierra donor

Hi,

The message I got was that the chassis is sierra based, just with extra parts supplied to fit MX5 if required so just a case of bits I wont need.

I believe the transmission tunnel is different on the tmxr chassis he till do a type 9 tunnel for you just ask him when you order the flatpack

Hi ya,

They emailed me saying all the tubes for both Transmission tunnels are supplied!

Zetec and Type 9 is a popular combo. One thing to keep in mind when making the chassis is that either the gear stick (and the reverse light switch), or the thermostat housing is interfering with the chassis. The solutions are either to use the Raceline Zetec water rail, or make a cutout in the tube that is the rear top of the engine bay (with another tube backing it), or modify the transmission tunnel and shift the engine a bit forward (compromising the gear stick reach).
