You need some more bar work. :eek:

Looks good, let me know when you are ready for the doors/boot/hardtop.:cool:

There is a rotary 1/2 chassis one almost finished being built somewhere near you.

[fe3turbo]

Yer thats Lee's car looks good. I will let you no. as you can see i need a front clip made up aswell the motor does sit up a bit so i need a hump in the bonnet section

[Grumpy Rooster]

The originality of this setup appeals to me a lot.

Love it.

[dynoryder]

i like this car but as i love the suspension on the mx5 it's a hame it had to go

why did u not just leave the origanal mout points in the same spot and fab up all the arms in the same lengeths that would of kept some mx5 blood in it


edit of course im only talkin front end

[Fondles]

Nice bar work, any reason why the engine is so high in the frame ?

[fe3turbo]

Nice bar work, any reason why the engine is so high in the frame ?The engine is a Mazda Fe-Dohc and its about 3 inchers and a bit taller than a 1.8Bp mazda engine and i wanted to keep a large sump for plenty of oil. And another resean the titanium bellhousing i have for it was massive.

Ahhh yet, understand now.

Thats a serious gearbox for a little 4cyl buzz box.

Nice build. Needs more 2JZ though :P

Put a dry sump on it before you start and save your self all the problems I went through

[fe3turbo]

It will have a dry sump, The pump is siting on the side of the motor in the first picture

[10sec rx7]

Then you don't need a large sump, lower that motor!

[Billzilla]

Then you don't need a large sump, lower that motor!

+ 1.
Dry sump only needs to be 50mm or so deep usually.

[Fondles]

The bell-housing is dictating the engine height, hard to put a nice flat floor under it if its lowered.

Cut the bottom off it, done that before.

Other than visuals does the engine height really matter that much, not as if its going round corners, fuck cutting down that expensive looking Ti bell-housing.

I still reckon that whole gearbox set-up is a bit over the top though, Iam sure a lighter more compact something could have been sourced, must be nice to have fuckloads of dollars, but then whats a liberty worth these days ?

EDIT: $8,500 for a clutchless 5 speed liberty, might as well keep the lenco.

I haven't researched drag racing at all, but generally the lower the CG the more useful weight transfer you'll get onto the rear tyres.

[Fondles]

I haven't researched drag racing at all, but generally the lower the CG the more useful weight transfer you'll get onto the rear tyres.

I reckon its more about pinion angles and how hard you set the rear up to hit the tyres than actual CG.

[Billzilla]

I reckon its more about pinion angles and how hard you set the rear up to hit the tyres than actual CG.

Imagine you had a 200 kg weight sitting on top of a 10 metre tall pole on top of the car. As soon as you hit the throttle the mass way up high would tend to lift the front wheels and make the car flip over backwards.
Put that same mass as a flat lead sheet under the middle of the car, you would have trouble getting enough power and traction to get the front wheels off the ground.
Yes it's a simplification but I use those mental trick of exaggeration to see what's important or not. But yes for sure pinion angles and many other little tricks are also very important.

[fe3turbo]

I would love it to be lower just the way every think worked out i can all ways raise the body up and tilt the screen down aswell the Lenco shipped to Ausrtralia was $5500 so cheaper than any other box its only rated at 1200hp so if my little 4 cylinder can make more than that ???????? About the Dry sump set up iv got one off the fastest 2j engine builders building my engine and a he said a deeper sump is much better he has a deep sump on his drag car and it does . 6.38 so he no's what his talking about.

[dynoryder]

dosent the mx5 in the photos have an anti lift bar above the diff

Ask Scott how important CG is

[bigmuz]

Why that engine?

Looks like a 2500hp car with an 800 hp engine.

[Sucker]

Looks good, who is doing the chassis work?

[Billzilla]

I still believe the CG is not that important for drag racing.

The more simple the task, the more important the little factors are.

[lightyear]

Didn't they used to jack up the old drag cars in the 60's to help with weight transfer? I wouldn't have an issue with the height of the motor for drag racing. If the front wheels are in the air you have 100% weight transfer on the rears - isn't that a good thing?

Um, they jacked up the front of the old gassers due to a fundamental misunderstanding of the physics at launch. It was thought that it would assist in weight transfer to load the rear tyres. Which it does, but you waste a lot of potential momentum bring the front up, and it has been since found that greater benefits came from better chassis and suspension design.

Better to have the rear suspension work to rotate the rear wheels into the ground leaving the body neutral or even lift the rear. Hard to do with stock type suspensions, but it can be easily seen with top end bodied drag cars. Caltracks for leaves, and well set up 4 links will do this.

[Fondles]

lifting the front at launch is not necessarily a good thing,

hence most limit travel with chains or other limiting devices.

[bigmuz]

The more simple the task, the more important the little factors are.

Nice try but getting a fast car down a straight strip is at least as involved as getting a car around a track.

CG is important but low cg isn't necessarily important.

[Billzilla]

Thanks for that. I just wonder what I was 'trying' .... ?

Yeah but they had crap suspension, shit tyres and they weren't running bottom 7's with 1000+hp

[BeverlyHillsCop]

I thought this was a thread about a race car build..... silly me.

[ALLMTR]

Hehe

Anyway if I was building this I would base it around the Honda K series.

[fe3turbo]

Looks good, who is doing the chassis work?

Jp Fab is doing the chassis work. I have built the chassis this way so i can put any engine in it, Thats the engine iv been playing with for years now so it was time to go full steam a head on it and see what it can do.The pinion angle is very important we are trying to keep the car low as possible . The pinion angle is suppost to be as straight as possible my crank does sit up high in the engine so thats th part of the problem the engine is sitting high.

[bigmuz]

OK I have cleaned the thread up. Sorry to old mate but welcome to the forum!

[jpfabrications]

Then you don't need a large sump, lower that motor!

hi dale, just thought id clear up a few things ;) , the crankshaft centreline height i have is set up at 12 1/2 inches to the ground, and is exactly the same height as the rear pinion yoke and is exactly where i want it, it is a perfect height for this power and clutch setup, the lower the engine the less weight transfer you have on the rear tyres, and is more crucial in a clutch car with a light engine as apposed to a 6 or 8 cylinder auto car, as you can see the crankshaft is in a unusual position in the block, which makes the block look high once the cylinder head and valve cover is on it, as the pictures show the bottom of my chassis jig is ground height giving the chassis the minimum height of 3 " and the legal height regards jeff jp fabrications

[nfs13b]

Its looking really good. From the picture it looks like you managed to keep the hardtop on without cutting the rear? Is that right or is there still things to happen back there?

[fe3turbo]

Thanks Lee there's still things happening there the hard top will be cut up alot.

[fe3turbo]

What colour and design should i go with the car i like so many colours . I can't make up my mine any site out there that could help or any input would help alot.

[Guido]

I reckon take a hint off the Puerto Rican cars and go an original Mazda colour (the french blue on the NA6??), no signage other than windscreen banner. Their cars always look so much better than Aussie ones IMHO, tastefull. By not "standing out" with candy pearl paint, chrome signage etc you stand out more.

[fe3turbo]

I was thinking of standed colour with a bit of colour in it. may have to go to one of there sites.

[nfs13b]

just dont go purple :) :)

[fe3turbo]

Not going purple.:(

[smee]

HZ, the colour of the SP20 Mazda 3's.

[fe3turbo]

What colour is that

[rorge]

Serious question, why the choice of this Mazda engine, rather than one of the more common and perhaps sorted combinations?

The Fe3n is a pretty fancy offering from Mazda. DOHC, Sodium filled valves, forged rods/pistons/crank, something like a 9000rpm redline on the stock ecu too. They make around 230hp stock and make a very very easy 350hp on low boost and stock internals..

I keep umming and ahhing about fitting an NA fe3n to my Mxfag for nice smooth power delivery instead of the turbo setup.. BUT the hassle of dealing with the extra height, mating an Rx7 gearbox to a bongo van bellhousing and getting it all in there and functioning seems like more hassle..

The chassis looks good, what turbo/ecu etc are you planning to run??

[profi]

Like this ...

any chance of a comparison photo of the turbo so we can get a idea of the size, PF use's nokias as a measurement thou a stubby or beer can can also do

Next time i see the car if i remember put it this way its a big turbo same size as a Gt47

And you're confident that body meets Group 2 specs? Have you submitted them for approval?

[fe3turbo]

And you're confident that body meets Group 2 specs? Have you submitted them for approval? Its only 10'' over its a 2006 mx5 whitch is 92'' wheel base so the wheel base is 102''''''''''

[2rismo]

So you're confident. Nice. Have you submitted specs?

[10sec rx7]

who gives a fuck... group 2 in sport compact is never going to work and this will end up racing in group 3 with every one else...

[fe3turbo]

So you're confident. Nice. Have you submitted specs?Im aloud 10'' longer in the wheelbase so whats the big deal thats what you are aloud to do . I have not submitted specs yet just going what the rule book said. front over hang 40'' im under there. should be ok to to get cleared only if the rules have chance since the build has been going on.

Never said there was a big deal and I wasn't making it one. Good luck with the rest of the build.

[fe3turbo]

Never said there was a big deal and I wasn't making it one. Good luck with the rest of the build.Do you no somethink that has changed i was tring to find the rules on line but can not find them as the chassis builder has the rule book i was just going by the Procompact rules.

[nfs13b]

Its only 10'' over its a 2006 mx5 whitch is 92'' wheel base so the wheel base is 102''''''''''

Its coming along really nicely, and getting a 102in wheel base is pretty cool and should make the car pretty stable.

Wasnt this a NA model mx5 though and not a 2006? Are you changing it to an NC?

[2rismo]

Do you no somethink that has changed i was tring to find the rules on line but can not find them as the chassis builder has the rule book i was just going by the Procompact rules.

I know that I interpret the rule (Section 3.15 'Super Compact' sub-section 7.2) as "ANDRA want to know how and to what degree you're modifying the standard body shape before issuing a log book for it to run as CC/SC".

Don't confuse me trying to do the right thing by you in terms of the rules as me questioning the legality of your car.

[10sec rx7]

lets be serious here... how long is group 2 SC going to last?? all the big players are off running something else... everyone else is going to have to go back to group 3..

Your tuner is the driving force behind the class, mate. Besides, 7.40's won't cut it in Factory Extreme when the quicker cars are already a full second quicker. It's like saying the rules for pro stock are dumb because a carby small block Torana can't race with them running 8.40's.

ha ha ha, I knew you would bite but that was pretty quick.. Im hoping the car will run 7.20's when I actually learn to drive it, plus isnt it open to 4cylinder cars too, what do quick ones of them run in Australia?

There are now a couple of 4's into the bottom 7.20's and a couple more in the 30's-50's that will soon be in bottom 7's / high 6's territory too.

[fe3turbo]

I don't no how the engine is going to perform . There is a couple of drag cars i South Africa and America with 1000hp-1100hp with the same engine but mine is full chassis . Il have to learn how to drive first . Been a long time. Hopefully mid 7's il be happy.

They all come with that ground marks on the turbo

[GSRman]

at a guess it's where the alloy is poured in - 'flow lines' according to this vid - but easiest to think about plastic model cars - and the mark on the parts where they separated from the sheet.

0oXMH9sp7LM

[Beavis]

Did anyone else watch that vid and think, "Fuck me I'm going to learn to cast parts in the backyard"? Because that's what happens when I watch it..

[GSRman]

no - but only because my old man has done it - sandcasting alloy in the back yard that is - never made car parts

[Sucker]

That's not a cast mark where it is grounded though?

[Beavis]

no - but only because my old man has done it - sandcasting alloy in the back yard that is - never made car partsWhat was he doing it for? How did it turn out?

[GSRman]

for fun mostly - about the only thing he ever made was a jig to turn up spheres on his lathe.

came up good after some practice - but he's a bit special, he did give a hand to a local guy doing some pieces for his GT40 replica.
