    2014 is the year I will finish this car, my next project is to convert the factory rear suspension to drag race style similar to the white NB in Orlando. The reason for this modification is to center the differential as much as possible as presently I am using the factory shock mount location with bilstein coil overs. The new set up will look very similar to the white NB which will allow me to use the widest wheel possible.

    QA1 set up and billet spherical differential mounts



    the objective is to relocate the shocks like this

    You know, I've never seen pictures of your car until now. My god does it look good. I really want a black NB and here is yours, all sexy. Good luck finishing the build, I look forward to it.

    Welcome to the forum and thank youAgp35!!!

    2014 is the year I made final revisions to Hyper Coolant Reroute. I finally installed the front coolant support neck, a chrome fabric heat shield and SS support bracket with a logo on it that speaks for itself. I am very happy with the final design as the coolant pipe is now secured in 6 mounting points all the way to the radiator. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!!

    quick update.

    Today I installed the FM front brake kit, installation was very simple! FM supplies everything including bolts and washers so it as pretty much straight forward and fun. The best part is that the kit is compatible with my rota wheels so I didn't have to buy wheel spacers or anything related. Today was a great day.

    Some pics!
    old rotor vs.11" rotor

    the FM bracket

    FM kit assembled

    no issues with Rotas Grid V


    I still have to adjust the coil over to reduce fender/wheel gap.

    Thank you HELION, right now I have to update the thread but I am in the middle of the suspension upgrade plus I am making new brackets to adapt sport package rear brake rotors for the Wilwood calipers. It is complex stuff, I wish I can explain, it is best to see the final outcome when the car is ready.

    I do want to thank everyone that support my build thread.

    As good as those black wilwoods look, it would have been the most baller shit in the entire world if you got those special edition gold ones that were offered on CR a while ago.

    The wilwood brakes work well. Like the offset of the wheels too.

    I want to answer this question now as my new suspension set up is done. The reason I went with a solid rear axle instead of IRS set up is for traction and because with a true 4 link axle you can tune the differential pinion angle for better hook up and to reach more speed. Attached you will find an interesting article that explains pretty much how a 4 link suspension works and why is best for drag racing. Here is the link: http://www.how-to-build-hotrods.com/tuning-4-link.html

    Basically you find the instant center

    then locate the center of gravity and 100% anti-squat line


    and then proceed to tune the pinion angle until the differential is in a neutral position and the car start moving forward.



    Neutral position (desired setup)


    In order to design an effective set up in the miata however you have to spend substantial money in parts and then strategically design the chassis to place the 4 link arms in a position where the pinion angle is best effective as explained in the above pics. Luckily I am one of those individuals who have the time and resources to make this happen, but it wasn't easy I must tell you, I had to modify a ton of stuff in order to achieve the results I accomplished to this date.

    My biggest challenge was to convert the chassis to a 4 link set up in a way where i can easily transfer the parts to another miata if I ever want to. I also wanted to find a way to keep the 4x100 wheel pattern, have a true cat back exhaust and shortened differential rear end that look like it belong in a miata. The placement of the fuel cell while retaining the factory trunk latch system was a headache and keeping the factory fuel sensor components while having a system capable of more than enough power forced me to spend additional money in order in areas I didn't want to spend but it was necessary in order to have a true sleeper car. But I am finally done with my build and for the remaining of this thread what is left is simply to retune my car perhaps upgrade the 6speed transmission in the near future.

    Now onto the pics....

    My family own an machine shop where I have pretty much all the resources to make this build reality. I am a blessed and thankful for the time and resources that were available to me. Here are some pictures of the place of where you can find me everyday. We will be relocating in the 15th of this month to a new location where I will be providing machine shop/welding and powdercoating services to the local businesses here in South Florida.

    My bench

    the press

    table drills and cutting machine


    two lathes


    the old man is a humble great person, if you ever need any metal work he is the man.

    the fuel cell was raised and modified to allow the factory trunk latch mechanism




    New podwercoated 4 link arms with Heims joint ends for easy tuning of the pinion angle




    Panhart Bar installed, UPR traction bars installed




    QA1 shocks installed





    Aeromotive fuel pump and filters relocated below the fuel cell




    My new 3" catback exhaust (thanks Alex a/k/a Speedworks for hooking up price for the exhaust pipes)
