Mx-5 Donor - SSC

[spud69]

Hello Blacktop and Leroy,

Apologies but just got back online, the chassis and the suspension design is nearly complete for the MX5 as a donor. There are a few other things to finalise but it is almost finished from which we will be putting all the items from chassis packs upto complete kits up for sale via the Saturn Stores, there will also be detailed cad drawings and build guides, similar to the Haynes guide, published via the website for builders that would like to use the revised design but still want to build their own car from scratch. Keeping the Haynes self build philosophy alive.

Prices are expected to be very similar to the Sierra as a donor with no significant extra work to do to modify the design for Mx5 donor. The wishbones are a bit more complicated, however, the use of the donor rear uprights negates the need to fabricate new ones. The aim is to have a completed car ready to show at Stoneleigh, shouldn't be a problem but there is a lot of other work to aswell. Speaking of other, the car for the Northern Race Series cup is coming on nice, thanks to Paul and a few others, and will be on for track testing end of this month with a second to follow.

The Mk1 Mx5 is an ideal donor and we are using the 130bhp 1.8l engine and there are loads of tuning mods available for this engine. The standard 1.8 will have plenty of boot to give some big grins.

Hope this helps......Andrew
