Duke Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thats funny Ice, my GF always complains how dirty my hands are. When I used to work catering my boss would always give me shit cause my hands looked like crap. People can't handle real man hands! Bob, I always look foward to updates from your car. Kinda makes me want to do something similar with a 410/411. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Yeah Duke...Bob's MX520 makes me wanna do the same kinda work on my Simca! I never knew that they had all that bolt on simplicity. Bob's approach is such a huge collection of well thought out concepts, a clearly studied subject and a well defined end game goal. This little truck is going to haul more ass than Juan Valdez. :D I am actually most interested in hearing the exhaust tone! BRRRAAAPPPPAAA! Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Wait a minute...I thought Bob was gonna be headin to the shop?:blink: Donde esta Roberto?:D Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 OK - I'm back in the saddle! Here are a few I just took - sorry they are a little blurry:o That's it for now. I need to go figure out the fire wall! :eek: Quote Link to comment

Bob3 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I got the drivers side firewall in today! I test fitted the Miata brake master cylinder, the brake and gas pedals and steering column. It looks like it will all work out good. Now that I am to this point I can figure out the steering rack. Then I'll install the passenger side of the firewall. Then . . . . . :confused: Here are a few pics! :thumbup::w00t: Drivers side firewall from Miata ready for it's new home[/img] Note that I had to cut the "Lip" behind the master for clearance.

72240z Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Looking good. Are you going to have any dash/center console/heater core clearance issues with the stock tranny Miata tunnel height? Or are you going to cut that down? I only ask because it seems so drastically taller then the stock one. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 my question is how are you gonna mount a clutch pedal reverse mount the master under the dash? Quote Link to comment
1971Datsupra Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I wish I had you around when I built my truck! I looked at using a miata suspension but I kept on walkin. That is when I found the supra. How ever it seems your wheels and tires are going to fit real nice. Question? You wouldn't happen to know how to formulate the correct spring wieght for my truck would you? I can't seem to grasp the lbs per inch thing. I think I need to work on tucking my front K-member a little more up into the rails. If I can be of any assistance just let me know! Quote Link to comment

What is your rear wheel horse power? I'll give you my best guess!:blink: I checked out your build - - - WOW! Lets stay in touch. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Nice work Bob! Glad to have you back man! I like the wheels...are they gonna be the long term choice or are you gonna change again....just like most of us do!:D I think that black with that thin red line around the outside would be groovy man! I just took the 17s off and am running my stockers again. I like that look a lot! The firewall work looks very nice man!:cool: Quote Link to comment
1971Datsupra Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I had it weighed at a cat scales truck stop. It weighs 2520lbs total, 1,460 in the front and 1,060 in the rear, that is with me in it, I weight 155lbs. Quote Link to comment
1971Datsupra Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'm Thinking my truck is putting down around 200 to 220hp. I ran a 9.4 in an 8th mile. The last time I ran it, it ran a 9.66 @71.76 mph. Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Lets take this over to your build. I'll post there! Bob:thumbup: Quote Link to comment
