Lil Update...The following was just added...

Fiber glass doors
Miata Short Shifter...

The group buy for the short shifter in the first gen section is stupid ******* high priced, went on ebay, bought a knock off for a miata, and installed it, and works like a ******* charm.. Why spend $165 through the group buy section here on the first gen section, and why spend $200 through Mazda Trix or Racing Beat...I just saved myself a bundle for getting the same product, and works just as good if not better!!! WOOT WOOT...

To each there own...

Just a thought:
Do your homework and research before jumping off the bridge and paying for something...Do you want to pay for function or do you want to pay for the name you call it...

thank you bro...

Update...

I found a holley fuel pump regulator that bolts on to the carb...Very nice piece for $25..and with that said it will pass inspect...NHRA rules state the fuel pump regulator has to be 6inches from the fire wall...with the new mount mounted to the carb its at exactly 6inches sweet deal...

I will be getting a new starter, and i just oredered kirkey seat brackets...Also a radiator over expansion tank has been installed as well...

I will post pics...here soon

Worlds end, I had tunning issues.

took it to Barona this past summer ran a 8.2 in the 1/8th, went to Fontana snapped the drivers side axle.

I recently just dropped in a 9 inch rear end over the summer, currently rebuilding the 3rd member with a better gear ratio, and the axles are on there way with a 31 spline...

whats your name?

I'm on racefwd.com along with Chris who owns the dragged out 72 Mazda RX2 the primed black one...

I'm pushing for it, I have the 3rd member here, and the re build kit for it, I would love to make it out for the piston vs rotor grudge match they got going on for the same event that your talking about in a few weeks in the drag section of this forum...

But I'm in no rush. I'm looking forward to seven stock, just to trailer her out there and show it off...

up dated pics will posted soon...

Send pics of the 9 inch third member please. I just wish you had audio on your car. I'm glad its NHRA legal, tons of dudes risk their lives with the bare minimum for that competetive edge. I wish I had a tig welder to get my *** out to some events.

Bro,

I just noticed that you fab the cell wrong. I think you will have fuel starvation when the car fulls hard up. Due to the pick will be up and you will catch a lot of air in your line. Just my 2 sense.. I noticed that no one is paying attention to that. I would face that fuel cell the other way to save you a motor from leaning out..

Hey man I just moved back to California. I live 15 minutes from the Fontana track. Give us a buzz when you go out to race.

I will be racing at Fontana too...just not in a straight line!! I will be doing NASA racing, but I enjoy some drag racing!!!
