ol' 320 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Well, hot damn. It worked. Bob, these have stainless bezels. Everyone thinks they are stock on my truck. I think they might even fool Wayno for a sec, and you know how fussy he is about all things 320;) Great looking build. Now we'll expect you to do your MX320 next, of course.... This thing needs a Domino's Pizza sign on top of it for track days, just to freak folks out when you come up behind them and swing around. Quote Link to comment
baldredhead Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 keeping the space savers would be awesome! i'm a little obtuse sometimes so i need to ask: the above pictures show the miata subframe mounted in the car of course. my connundrum is, other than the diff>trans connector are the mount points the 4 corners of the subframe cage? i image this is obvious if i look at the mx520 build...

baldredhead Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 nevermind, i found it. 6 points if you have a chance can you post what the distance L-R between subframe mount points is? Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Here is what the left side reflector looks like. I'm sure they are interchangeable left to right. Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Day 42 I was burned by the JACK ASS on ebay that is selling ZG flares (jdmflares). He never shipped them. He told me over and over that they were shipped. He is full of shit! DO NOT BUY FROM JDMFLARES ON EBAY! I need some help on flares and I need them quick. They need to be at least 3". Any ideas? In these pics look at the rocker vs. the ground, there is 1" of rake (higher in the rear)! This thing LOOKS like an ass-dragger but it's not! 1 Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 It looks like a BAD ASS dragger to me! I love the work you are doing on this car Bob. It's going to be so cool when it's done! Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Wow Bob. The goon looks amazing. That side shot is awesome. Sorry to hear about the flares, seems like a lot of people are getting burned lately on flares. Have you sat in the car? I know the spacing is stock miata but it looks like getting in/out could end up being a pain. Even with the disconnect at the wheel it looks like more than just hopping out (then again I'm 6' and 265lbs...) Quote Link to comment

He can't wait to drive it! He hangs his left arm out the back window and rests his forearm and hand in the front door. 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 It looks just fine Bob, It looked that way when it was new, it was made that way. What does it weigh now compared to the other cars you will be competing against, are you heavier or lighter? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Sucks about the flares,,, still looks bad ass! :D Quote Link to comment

Kirden Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Considering the ongoing issue being documented with Z force productions, I would not suggest their products. Quote Link to comment

It will be close to the same weight in the Vintage group I plan to run with and it will be lighter in NASA & SCCA competition. Quote Link to comment
HudsonMC Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 It will be close to the same weight in the Vintage group I plan to run with and it will be lighter in NASA & SCCA competition. Nice! Should be fun. What vintage group will let you run with a miata drivetrain? Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Most of them will in the exhibition class. Here in Colorado I will be running with Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing (RMVR). 1 Quote Link to comment

exit64 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hey Bob, Going to the yard tomorrow to see if that goon is still there and has any of those reflectors along with some other bits and pieces. Will let you know. 1 Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Has the lack of flares put this project on hold? The work youve done is amazing, and I check for progress every day! And I also wish you luck on you parts. Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 YES I NEED FLARES! PLEASE HELP RATSUN! Quote Link to comment

goes2fast Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 YES I NEED FLARES! PLEASE HELP RATSUN! Bob, did you try the 2 links I sent? The guy I got mine from is no longer selling on ebay, but I sent a message to him asking if the flairs are still available, but no reply yet. Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Theres threads about the producer of the flares you linked to. Not great threads. Quote Link to comment
