hey everyone just thought i would show an update on the progress of my 1000 coupe put the motor in today just dummy fit with radiator and stuff. will fab up mounts tomorrow and next week also should have the box trial fiited as well

What motor is that? more pics would be awesome.

MX5

Yep -defintaely. I've always wanted to do this conversion, but due to regulations, I've got to stick to Nissan.

Nice score!

I know a bloke who has done this conversion. The motor cost him far more than anSR or CA ever would have. He's out to build a cruiser though, so he's not too worried.

I'm curious how one makes sure the engine/drivetrain geometry is correct when fitting a different engine/trans entirely.

If you have to make new trans & engine mounts to fit in, how do you avoid getting the angle wrong for the driveline to rearend connection? Or do you just rely on the U-joints to compensate?

Thanks!
