Trying not to spend money on this yet, and trying not to work on it due to my panel van needs to get off defect. But other day was bored so started stripping it. Just got the last of the air con bits to go. Then I'll get a bit of dry ice and remove the sound deading. Got quoted 1700 for a 6 point weld in cage, or just under a grand for All the hopes bent up. So either way pretty happy with that, lot cheaper then I thought it was going to be. The engine I had lined up sold as well doesn't really bother me as it was just wasting money at the moment. Ohh cars finally at my house so it's car 13 haha.

I'm thinking about doing bolt on guards, and painting it red. So be red with black bolt ons and my black hurricanes it should look pretty mean. Once it's home I'll strip it back to pretty much to just the shell. I'm plaining on getting a cage put in nothing over the top just basic 6 point cage. Think i might run 4 link with watts link unsure on rear suspension at the moment. Going to try and do alot of custom fabrication for things. Hopefully keep cost down a little bit more and I can build my skills more.

Yea I'm gettin the tire shop to do it, I can't be bothered spending the weekend trying to get tires off with out damaging rims. But will polishe them right up and give them a really good clean. Might even take them in and get the gutter rash machined off. Cheers tally for letting me pay them off and letting me take them I'll put couple 100 in tomorrow.

Cute springs are only to surport the diff at the moment will not be like this on the track haha. I've found a rotary to suit rebuild hopefully be able to afford it before it sells.

Got the diff in today, cut front springs in half put half in the rear half in the front now rolling and will be coming home soon.

I think i have found a rotary for this thing for 500 bucks needs a rebuild but that means bridge port. T series is starting to go in tomorrow if the weather is any good. also was talking to my dad as hes a industrial electrician we are planning on making up a touch screen and using a PLC to do its think to run the information in to the touch screen. this will allow every thing like tacho, speed, oil pressure or any thing in fact u want. no need to run a motec screen and i can fully customize5 the screen and will cost me nothing.

Yea come a long way from the start, still got a long way to go though. Also this rocked up today it's brand new never used.

diffidently haha isnt that always needed when skids are done?

i think it may be time for a few ;)

they are old and hard, full of cracks there's no point running them i just plan on putting my federals from my hurricanes on.

haha nahhh but its the only quick way of getting shit tires off i can think of. I found these and fell in love, the red with a dark colour should look sweet. Nahh they are 14's 6 for the front and 6.5 for the rear.

picked up some advans a3a's today they should look sweet need to get tyres swapped over. might cut the old ones off so i can give them a polish and a good clean.

might not be strong enough for my needs then.

haha yea i had a bit of a giggle on the way to school, after i realized that i said i think ill try a bit of aero work on a brick. There are still gains to be had though, so we will see how it goes. have a read on here about half way down there's a photo. http://www.timeattackforums.com/forums/show-shine/2874-fujiracing-13b-rotary-miata-build-3.html You still need to pick the right apex seals, there's a lot of new technology in apex seals now days. Stock apexs are good on the housing but have there draw backs. Once you start getting up in to the hard apexs you can score the housings, some also shatter in a way others just kinda deform and don't do as much damage. Its been awhile since i have read up about them so it might not be to accurate but yea if you pick right its happy braping. Also went to my mates today had a look what i needed to get, to put the t series in to get it rolling and up to mine. I have no springs for it so hopefully i can just sit it on the bump stops. Got a few more pictures today but there nothing really to show. There wont be many up dates until its at my house and that could be up to a couple of weeks. Need to get my panel van off defect and painted before i can buy parts for this.

how much abuse can a t series take though?

Porting will happen any way, once I get a 13b it will be stripped down rebuilt. I haven't really thought about apex seals or any thing like that yet. I've done quite abit of research on rotarys and have quite a few books about them. The plans are to do quite a big bridge port, run efi with itb's. I've always wanted to play around with a mega squirt, but I'll work that out when the build starts. I also plan on doing a bit of aero work as well, I did my year 12 research project on aerodynamics of race cars. I learnt quite alot of infomation, and some pretty neat things. I'm alittle unsure about what gear box, I think I'll want a closed set gear box but don't want to spend heaps so that might be out but bit of research and I'll figure it out.

it may look rought now but its got alot of potential that's for sure. been waiting for a moment for so long to be able to put a rotary in some thing, thinking a 13b bridge port.

and 2 dollars of lose change.

Hey guys, So last night i was thinking about building a track car, so i started looking on here, ebay and gumtree. Sent a few people messages, woke up to a few replys. Found a guy on here with a free ke70, texted a mate after by 11 o'clock we had a free car trailer lined up. We hadn't seen photos or any thing we knew it had no diff gear box or engine. We joked around saying it will be overrated an all shiny. Haha but that didn't happen it was spray painted and looking like shit in away, tail lights where tinted. started having a look around it it was straight had hardly any dents and only slight rust spots. we where going to take it either way but its worth saving. It is defected but that doesn't really matter to a degree. Plans or a little undecided expect it will have my hurricanes on it, and plan to have a rotary in it. So we spent 3 hours trying to get it on the trailer tried 6 different ways and got it half on. We got it on after a lot of effort, drove it home and got it off only toke 20 minutes. Then started to go through the inside, smelt like rotten milk and was dry reaching materiel. Got a lot of shit out of it went through some parts got rid of a few what are trashed or not needed. Both corollas i have bought so far have had porn in haha. So don't have any really good pictures yet at a mates house at the moment until it gets a diff. I will not be spending money on this until my panel van is back on the road and painted. Things can still be done but will be done with out needing money.

yea well I'm returning gaurds back to stock(new front guards, rears will be found of a wrecked wagon cut and welded). I'm then thinking about getting tallys advan A3A's and then ill run my federal 595's which are 195/55's. I'm hoping i can pull it off and make it look kinda cool still.

wont fill stock gaurds would it?

What is standard offset for a ke70 any way?

well doing 10k's in 3rd at 6 grand hurts your head after 3 kays haha.

my 4k has quite a large cam in it, was fun for the first week but when your trying to do 100 up a hill and you have to be in third its not overly fun.

yea i know how to measure track, but they way i read the laws you can increase it by 20mm. meaning the rear track can be up to 1430, witch is not true. what offset can you run with out braking the law about track?
