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

[KaleoXtreme]

That's true. I didn't consider that, lol. Still looks do-able though.

[mx-3_4evr]

The plan is to rip out the stock floor and build a full frame chassis. I'll be buying a mandrel bender soon (after Christmas), so I can build it my own.

OK officially confused... LS1 ... Miata trans... am I missing something? or are you running the BP instead

BTW the shifter at that spot might be kind of nice in the MX. your tunnel will be a lot higher when your done. But you can always throw in a couple of 90's and a few inch extension forward.

Yes confusing, fe3 now lol. The shifter will be in the perfect spot, the car should be a perfect 50/50 weight ratio According to where my engine, seats, gastank, and rear end will be

[josh95mx]

haha nice! I have been contemplating a RWD FE3 as well. are you going JDM FE motor or KIA?

It should be pretty dang close to 50/50. how does the alignment of the miata rear and the MX rear bolt patterns line up? Have you found a suitable front hub yet?

Kia engine, the rear end it's close but not bolt on, I don't care because I'm making my own frame, as for the front I will be using Miata, again all fabricated up front as well

[josh95mx]

good choice. Did you look into 2nd gen RX7 parts at all? There would be some advantages of going that rout with 5x114 and brake options, and stronger drivetrain.

This thread is crazy, If you want more cheap miata stuff I will be selling mine without a motor come aprilish possibly.

[mx-3_4evr]

I picked up a 1988 RX-7 GXL for dirt cheap!!!!!! It's sitting at frogy's house lol Now to make up my mind, finish the RX-7 and drift the **** out of it, or use it for parts for the MX-3....... OR....... drift the RX-7 while I build a ****ing crazy RWD MX-3????? Choices.....

[KaleoXtreme]

I would use it as a practice platform to reduce the chances of smashing your one of a kind rwd mx3 when it's finally done.

a simple 2 pivot pushrod system can be used and concealed under the console.

Pardon my ignorance, but doesn't that setup place the shifter even further from the stock location?
