I hate to be a party pooper here but doesnt any cutting of a monocoque shell render the car SVA'able ?
I understand you have stressed no cutting of chassis rails but that is more about a seperate chassis'd view on the regulations like the Sammio range etc. The monocoque shell is considered to be a chassis in its entirety , so my understanding of the regs is the removal or modification of anything deemed structural relating to that shell is classed as a chassis modification ? Please correct me if I am wrong or have missed the point here , not an expert by any means but just my interpretation of what I believe is the regulations regarding monocoques . |
Hi with regard to cutting the front it's the inner front wings. Being that I have only removed as much as how a mk2 is and they are the same chassis basically I don't see it as an issue as the mk2 actually has less metal in that area. The rear again has no structural integrity removed as the main strengths on the mx5 is across the soft top mounting panel area. That's my understanding. It's like when people remove the windshield panel. In theory this offers no structural support to the car what so ever so again not an issue. So I'm sure it's fine. There are other kits out there that remove a hell of a lot more metal than mine and still don't have an iva.

Hi Danny not yet was expecting the cat hone yesterday but it's been delayed again. Really frustrating as I have so much interest. Hopefully not long. Fingers crossed mid week.
Regards Wayne |

Looking good, when will it be all finished?

Is there any update on this?

We have door mirrors. Taken from the Corsa D. Also in the process of fitting door handles as an optional extra. These are from the grand punto.

Its looking great Wayne
Whats left to do? I found the hardest thing is to finish it and leave it alone, I kept tinkering with it. Its best to finish it and start dreaming of the next. I worked so long on mine I had stopped seeing it as a car. But a few months of driving it about changed that |
I used the same wing mirrors on my Kobra. Did you buy electric or manual? if you bought electric and have trouble wiring them give me a shout and i can point you in the right direction.
