Also thanks have to be given to my buddy, Mike! He has almost as many hours in this project as I do, and it couldn’t have happened without his help!
In reply to Patrick :
Anytime you want!
I didn’t want to post anything about it until it was almost done! I didn’t want to get sidetracked by conflicting opinions!
In reply to NOT A TA :
I’ve wanted one since high school! But without the modifications that I made I don’t fit. So this one is the only one that I have ever ridden in!
This is... who are you? This is extremely impressive.
Car shells to finished product in a single day of posts - love it!
Wow! Beautiful!
Looks great. What'd you end up doing for axles?
In reply to Brotus7 :
The width of the Porsche transaxle is exactly 1” narrower than the diff from a 1.8l Miata. So I had a friend machine 1/2” spacers that let me bolt the 4 bolt axles from a 94-95 Miata to the 6 bolt Porsche flange. This is probably my weakest link, but at about $60 per axle, I can afford to break an axle or two! I have other solutions if this becomes a problem.
B R A V O !!!!!!!!!!!!
To all the UNfinished Europa's, What's your Excuse now, I STILL WANT ONE ,
Even if you have just Trumped all Others
NICE. I’m almost speechless over here and that doesn’t happen often.
I need to see and ride in this thing some day.
We’re coming up your way next Sunday to take the kids to the trunk or treat at quaker steak.
In reply to Patrick :
It was at Quaker Steak last Sunday! I’ll take it to trunk or treat if I get back in town early enough.
That’s awesome!
So....what is it like to drive? I have to think it is at the intersection of Thrilling Ave and Terrified Blvd?

In reply to NOHOME :
It is still in the sorting process, so it is a little scary, but it’s going to be great! I need to get the fuel maps smoothed out. It doesn’t like to start when it gets warmed up. I’d also like a taller(lower numerically ) final drive ratio. Like I said ... work in progress.
Bravo, this thing is wicked cool, I love it.
Found a good shot of the naked frame:
I got this...
"This is Sofa King cool!"
