Looks good, one question. Why are you going through the whole hassle with putting a Miata front end suspension when it looks like you are setting up for drag racing?

toyo_kogyo

OMG! Thats some major work there lidman, I can understand why you removed the rear leaf's, as for the miata front end?

I dont understand why, is this car being built for street or what are you doing with it?

looking forward to the next update!

lidman

I´m building the car mainly for street but whant to be able to use it for drag. I will have the rear axel bent to get some minus camber. The reason I choose the Volvo axel is that they are quite cheap and it is easy to find parts for it here in Sweden.

lidman

Exhaust system.

lidman

Exhaust manifold and downpipe finnished. Seats installed and I have begun to install/fabricate everything regarding steering.

lidman

Finally I have got time to spend on my car, so now it is started. Everything seems to work, but right now I can´t get it to idle.

Awesome, keep up the good work!

ovielito

nice build bud. must say that you have talent but you need to clean up alittle bit everything looks messy. keep on building.

lidman

Thanks for your kind words. Right now I am trying to get everything to work and get the car approved for driving on public roads. Then I will tear everything apart and have it painted.

lidman

Need to get the car wider..

lidman

Painted!
