![]() Hello guys, Just a quick one to let you know I have started my build today. I collected my completed MX5 based chassis and wishbone pack from Saturn today and I am really pleased with it. A couple of hours spent in the garage using the vice to push the suspension bushes in and i am well under way!!. I have already gathered together a selection of mx5 bits over the last few months whilst I was waiting for the MX5 variant to be launched. I will initially put in a 1.6 engine and have a limited slip diff as well.
I have tried to upload some pictures but I keep getting an error message saying the file size is too big! Once I have worked this out I will post the images. David |

![]() Ahh...so it was your chassis I was poking* about when I was up at Saturn last weekend
![]() If you're collecting bits off different MX5s, make sure that the driveshafts and prop match your diff - they're different between the 1.6s and the 1.8s. *Oi you - at the back there! Stop sniggering! ![]() |
