i know this isnt a honda, i no longer own one, but i like the ht crew so here is some pics of my miata drift car.






i smashed the front good so thats the reason for the tube front thats being done, i already had a cage so i didnt want to scrap the car. fabrication being done by a local chassis guy, im a engine machinist not a fabricator, if i had the means to do the fab work i would do it my self

 

Looks good so far. what is your engine setup gonna be?

 

yeah, looks interesting. going wankel? in for more pics.

 

Good **** man!!!

I don't think you have to put the NON Honda thing, this is all just fab stuff.

 

Nice. I post up lots of non honda stuff too. This is by far the best board ive been on in over 10 years for a vast knowledge of people craming ideas together. Non honda **** is cool Why cause there is nothing in the honda word that has not been done before

Nice work man post up more pics.

i work for kehl tech performance out of northford ct, i will be machining and building this myself.
i just got in a afco 13.25x21 radiator for the v mount setup and i have a nice 6x11 fluidyne oil cooler. i plan on making between 350-400 hp using a gt2871r on a boost logic manifold. tuned on aem ems. there are still alot of things i need to get and alot of work ahead, ive only just started buying the engine parts but as soon as my pistons and rods come in ill disassemble and wash the short block and get it out to shotpeen and back for bore hone and decking

 

I'd Get that seat down and away from the door, it appears to be touching the cage and almost touching the door.

 

key word is almost, its not, miatas are tighter than a 16 year olds snapper, its expletiveing a bitch to put any seat into that car with out being a 4ft 100lb japanese person

Ya i know what it is, but i would disagree you can get seats to fit in it correctly. I have seen 50 or more spec miata's with seats of all types that A.) don't touch the roll cage and B.) are 2mm away from the door.

 

bump for some more pics. looks good

 

spec miatas run junk seats for the most part, i wanted a head restraint seat, the only other affordable option was the racetech one. this seat was close to the buddy club specs, the buddy club needed modified seat rails to fit and it was tight, i refuse to run a kirkey or tube frame seat.



thats the new rad for the v mount , afco 13.25x21x3
the civic one i bought was to tall by like 3 in so i sold it to my friend

True many of them due run kirkys but the cars i was talking about run sparcos, recaros, ect

You really have to work on how it is mounted though.

 

dash bar is done and nascar bars are tacked up, and hes working on the x bar on the passenger side





you can see the seat mounts welded in to the floor

 

nice! I'll never get tired looking at fab work.

 

Nice more pics. Looks like the side bar fits in the door

 

more pics in a week or so, the v mount will be done, and hopefuly the front will be dzused and the lexan windows will be started

 

yup

 

look at all that nice stuff that going to get bent up win it hits the wall

Thats no attitude to have.

 

but that what they do

 

rather it than me, and its not the right aditude but its realistic in the drifting world, the back end already met the wall once, thats why its going to a body shop after its done at fab

 

 

nice work! What kind of engine is going in there?

 

its posted farther up in the tread, 1.8l bp turbo, 400hp goal

 

finished fab







these are just mocked up, and they have the film still on them
