Just a couple more pics. The first shows a reinforcement plate I welded onto the rear seat tub. This is where the stabaliser bar for the diff will bolt to. Sencond shows some of the rear seam welding, looks poor but I've since ground it back and re-done it (had the wire speed too high on the...

Well ill be upgrading the clutch springs to help handle the weight difference but aside from that its a case of wait and see what happens. The mx5 prop Is way too short as the bike engine doesn't have the gearbox like a car so its about 2 foot too short

Well ill need an engine with a left hand chain drive, spin the engine 90degrees and fit a sprocket adapter that's basically just a 4 bolt prop flange with a spline centre to slide over the output shaft. Then its just getting a prop made up to suit both the flange and the diff, whilst adding a...

I'll be making a space frame type setup that will tie the front together whilst still making it removable incase anything ever needs to be altered/repaired. As I'm using a bike engine I shouldn't need to rebuild the tunnel as the prop lines up nicely and the gear selectors and exhaust will be...

On the rear it is but front is way out. The chassis is too high and id have to butcher the subframe and the engine bay loads which would lose strength. Making it myself means I can sit the engine lower and further back to centralise the weight distribution.

So last night I had another go. Managed to swap to front hubs over, this allows me to move the rack further foward and make room for the propshaft etc. Also finished the rear diff braces and made up the stabaliser bar that stops the diff twisting under load. Had to reinforce the floor to make...

Hi all im a newbie. I bought a Super S that needed the cross member welding up and the clutch replacing. Full service history from new, every stamp and reciapt etc etc. Handed over £130 for it and dragged it home. Hacked the front cross member off and started cleaning it up But then things...
