Well i got my wheel spacer finally made yes they are thick, but they need to be that way to meet the same backspacing as a stock s10 rim of a ZERO offset.

Its a assembly. I will bolt the spacer to the hub and press new studs into the spacers, and fasten the wheel to the spacer.

UPDATE!!! I had to lower my build table 18" so that i could lift the motor up and over the frame rails to fit it in the chassis. So i cut down the legs, slowly but surly its getting closer and closer to the ground! Then we were able to hoist the motor up and into the chassis. It took the better part of the morning to get the motor all centered up in the chassis. But we got it in and made temp solid mounts to hold the motor in place wile i fab up real mounts. In order to place the motor we had to place the tranny in there also the seats. I started the drivers side motor mount, and that was about as far as i got today...

And now onto the pics.

Motor and tranny in place

Foot warmer... My feet will NEVER be cold in this car! lol 

Getting a feel for things with a stock Miata wheel

Me in the car with my helmet on to make sure that the roll bar is tall enough

The reason im not using the stock mounts or parts of it is that the mount goes right straight through the intake for the turbo! So i wanted to change that up so that i can have a better intake setup.

Ok so weekend update. We got both the drivers and Passangers side mounts all cut and tack welded into place. I have to get my gas bottle back so i can throw some nice and clean welds on there. I also got the tranny in place and im ready to fab the tranny mount! The last few weeks have been going good in the garage

Onto the pics.
Drivers mount

I have been plugging away on the car when i get time. I have gotten the drivers side motor mount all welded up. I guess that i have a "female welder" since it threw a fit because i never take it out anywhere nice. I took her top off and went for a drive and its all better?! Oh well what is important is that she is back to work. lol

I also took the turbo "elbow" off the turbo. Well there are 5 bolts, and 3 of the bolts broke! Grrrr The ones that didn't break are the studs and nuts. I got one of the bolts out i just need to work the other 2 out. I hope that they all come out! I knew that this was going to happen... I was just hoping that it didn't. Well i guess that now i can figure out the bolt pattern now.... And i guess have a flange made up.

Crappy cell phone pics of the motor mount.

I worked on my upper A-arms. I got 1 done and the other i just need to cut and fit the cross piece and weld it all up. Then onto the lowers! Maybe ill have a roller sooner rather than later?

I picked up a set of used Camaro zr-1  knock off rims

I've been chipping away at this build. We are getting there. I got all 4 of the A-arms built and welded to the chassis. Ive also started to locate the Engine and Tranny. That tranny is way bigger than i had "hoped" But it should still work.

I BIG thanks to my friend Ben yet again for all his help on Saturday. We were able to get 3 of the 4 A-arms on the chassis. And helping me get started with the drivetrain. I got the other A-arm one the car today.

I need to locate a balljoint taper reamer for the upper Balljoint. So if anyone has one or can locate one let me know.

Feb 8th 2010
I've been plugging away on the car.

The big steps were locating the suspension brackets on the chassis. I also had to ream out the upper ball joint holes. I have the left front mounted and .5° of camber already set. I need to install the other sides ball joints then i can bolt it to the chassis. I'm using a steel rod in place of the shock and spring for now. No need to mar up the nice shocks and springs welding and fitting everything. Sorry for the CRAPPY cell phone pics. I will take some good pics in the next few days and replace these.

I also welded on the roll hoop.

I got all the brackets cut out for the axle.

Nove 5th:

I have been working on the car. All be it slowly. I only get out to the garage 1 night a week. It tough thinking about the car all the time and still only able to get out there as little as i can. But that is what you get with a new baby

I also decided that it was a good idea to cover the walls and celing in OSB(wood) so that i would stop damaging the insulation and so it would also stay on the celing. So ofcourse EVERYTHING had to come off the walls and celing to get all this sheeting hung. I got almost all of it up and painted. I looks much nicer and brighter in there now. Hopefully making a nicer place to work this winter

I have been working on the rear axle and getting that hung. I got all the brackets built, and welded onto the axle, i finished the 4link bars and the panhard bar.

I finally got the axle hung last week. There is one of the bolt holes that is off on the 4link mount so i will need to fix that, but it should not be a issue. And then onto the front suspension!

here is the garage. Its still a mess. I need to finish cleaning it up. But its getting there.

More post to catch up to the current state

Here you will see the tranny tunnel come into shape.  I used 3/4" square tubing here not the 1-1/4" tubing used on the main chassis rails.

There was a long break not working on the car here because i gutted and remodeled the kitchen in the house.

At this point i started to layout the rear axle, you can see the CAD image of the axle design

I now have sold my 1997 Honda Prelude i started to Autocross with.  This sale was to allow me to buy a lot of the expencive parts for the build.  So here is one of the purschases, a 1988 Nissan 3.0l Single turbo engine.  VG30et

Bought seats  Corbeau A4's

Bought a Transmission from a 1990 Nissan 300zx TT

Autometer guages

Belltech 2" drop spindles
