using an RX8

[Gaylon]

I have built my frame and it came out great. The problem is I bought an rx8 and the frame is too narrow to use seats and the tunnel has to be bigger. If I use the seats I have to make to frame taller, so it has been back to the shop to build another frame. The advantage of the rx is the engine steering,suspension are on a cradle and all that has to be done is mount the cradle to the frame, but it takes some changes in the design to do it. The same for the rear. All suspension , brakes, and posi track are in one pod. The car I bought had 115 miles on it, that is right 115 miles. The car was hit in the rear so every thing I need is in excellent cond. Today I finished mounting the rear pod. It has to be welded up but it is mounted and all parts are on and tacked together. The front pod is positioned but I need to finish building the frame around the pod and make the final parts that will make the frame. I am also using 1 1/4 14 gage boxed tubing for more strength. I will try to make a post or two as this progresses and get comments.
