Progress. What are you going to do for a rear window?

I can pick one up used for 75-125$. But I have some other plans.;)

Ah ha, a little pickup bed to carry your track tires to and from the track.

Shhhhhh....how did ya know?

I was thinking some southern ingenuity was in order with aluminum angle and plexiglass...

Perhaps more fiberglass?

Not my first choice for an AN AX car, but the end item should prove interesting. Most guys won't build an all out AX racecar.

I you can get it under 2000lbs , you'll stand a chance against the Miatas:D

Not mine either...lol

If I get it under 3,000 lbs I stand a chance to get it on the trailer:D

Body work coming along slowly but surely

Made major progress this weekend! Motivating under its own power and actually stops with our old school braking system with a NASCAR style cockpit adjustable proportioning valve (wilwood no less ;)) so we can do victory donuts...lol. I've gutted about 250 lbs... Possibly more

Although running fine and gobs of torque by getting rid of the TPI injection and going with a carb, a mild cam and headers we can increase to about 75 more RWHP. MIGHT LOSE A LITTLE TORQUE IN THE PROCESS. Someone said Horsepower is how FAST you hit something....Torque is how far you drag it.

I'll update with pics shortly.

In my experience, WEIGHT (or lack there of) is the most important feature of an AX car.
My 1700 lb 914 waxed all but one local AX Miata (DP national champ) up in The Seattle area. Not bad for a 205 hp 2.7L.

The small size of the Miatas is also a large factor. HP is important when OTG, but weight works all the time.

If you want to go fast, add lightness.

Said some British guy who built flimsy cars.....

Step out side the box.......
You don't need any glass on the car.
