I had no idea how much info and advice there was to receive from that event. I talked to Scott who wrote for the TVR times and he informed me that a V8 was not the way to go due to fitment and driving concerns. So, I asked him what he would suggest and he said modern and light. I took it to heart and I understand where he is coming from so I am opting for a Ford Duratec 2.5 liter 4 cylinder, I am familiar with these engines and hey it keeps the same displacement so the car stays a 2500M!
I started looking for a transmission for the thing and decided to use a whole third gen Miata. I already autocross a 2006 so once again it made since to do so. I am planning on using all of the suspension as well. So here are pics!
So here is the 2010 Miata GT.
Front subframe with all the goodies still attached. The Miata's 2 liter will be ditched in favor of the Ford 2.5.
The driver side took a hard hit. No big deal though. I may be doing custom a arms any way. Although I am nervous about the condition of the rack.
Passenger side looks a lot better than the drivers :) .
She is getting kinda empty.
The rear suspension with all its multi-link glory. I am planning on sticking the whole thing in the TVR, but getting some off the shelf coilovers.
