Firstly, sorry if this is posted in the wrong section!!!!

I am starting a new Locost build based off a 1999 MX5 (MK2) 1.8. However for the moment this car is my daily driver, I want to get as far into the build before dismantling the MX as possible. To that goal I was wondering if anyone who had done this build before could give me some help regarding enging,transmission and Differential mounting points and how they differ from the Haynes Roadster mounting points. I would do most of this of a Haynes book of lies but there isn't one for the MX2



Many Thanks

Hi & welcome to the forum

There is a builder who is on here & the Haynes Roadster forum , IIRC its forum member "Airhead" who is using the same donor into a Haynes Roadster, maybe he could help with info.

cheers

Pay close attention when mounting the nose of the diff. Many of the US builders have hard mounted the nose but left the two ear mounts rubber mounted. The end result was the nose mount ripping from the chassis.

Either hard mount all three or build a nice rubber isolated mount.
