Mx-3_4evr's BEST build thread! RWD!!!!

What would be wrong with using the stock setup with the axles removed from the outer cups?

[atomicEGT]

steering rack location makes that a bitch, but you could flip the knuckles and run the rack in the front since you'd have to fabricate a custom engine crossmember anyway.

[DuRWooD]

I've considered mounting an AWD rack high up on the firewall for my V12 BF project, but the angles would be silly, might look into reversing the spindles.

[atomicEGT]

Flip the spindles, use a rear-sump pan, and run the tie rods up from the bottom and it should work okay.

I know there are, but it's just easier to upgrade to bigger brakes and 4 piston calipers from the rx7 frames

[mx-3_4evr]

I got the rx-7. I should be getting the title next week

SUBIN...

I am interested to how you end up doing it. I know there was a MX years ago that did it but they literally cut the body off of the MX and a 2nd gen Rx7 and welded the MX body to the RX pan. I would stick to using the RX parts, makes it more authentic Mazda.

[mx-3_4evr]

Yeah stupid rx7 with a salvaged title that needs inspection I got some crazy ideas for the mx3!

[mx-3_4evr]

**** the rx7 im selling it! Yesterday I stripped the whole interior in the mx3, there is so much room! Lol

[mx-3_4evr]

Sold the RX-7! The MX-3 will be with me until I decide what to with it. Meanwhile, I'm saving up for a house with nice garages, yes I said garages lol!

[mx-3_4evr]

Yesterday I picked up a complete Miata rear end. Looks promissing

[nerd racing]

^^ NA/NB style? I have a NA rear end that I'm in the process of putting in my Festiva. pm me if you are interested in some of the pics I have taken of the process.

[mx-3_4evr]

I think they are the same, it's a 94+. pics would be nice!
