Hello chaps...
...and chapesses
Thought I'd join up and say hi whilst waiting for my bits to arrive and to get the ball rolling by getting a HandyAndy/Saturn flatpack chassis (if he's doing them ATM...can anyone advise please?). Anyway I do have a couple of general questions whilst deciding what spec Roadster I'm going to go for...
Sorry for the questions, I suppose I'd better start thinking about a build table Last edited by PorkChop : 30th July 2011 at 11:59 AM. |

You may have to play with the speedo if you use a mazda gear box with a sierra diff depending on wether you use mazda/ford or after market clocks. Theres not much difference between the type9 and mt75 footwells only 50mm you may be better off with a hanging pedal box rather than a book spec.

Ive got size 12 feet and with my trainers on I can operate the pedals, Standard type 9 gearbox/tunnel. I'll be buying some slimmer shoes for driving once the car is on the road.

I would go MT75 tunnel anyway, gives more scope when you want to upgrade.
If your planning on MX5 rear then I see no real sense in going for a sierra engine and box as you can get better power from the MX5 and it may cost less. TT

Mock up the space for the two options and try it out, i have type 9 tunnel so the wider of the two options and i find the pedals a little close and im only a size 11 but they are quite broad which is what makes the most impact really
Im used to it now but prefer to wear slimline shoes |
