got the final axle last week and modified it and the drive train is complete....went to the jy today and got a set of shift cables from a Hyundai elantra, snagged the shifter as well and modified the ends a little bit and it shifts now through all gears and is very tight, the elantra shifter seems shorter, so I now have a short shifter lol.

got my seat brackets made today and bolted in.. looks kinda high but once your sitting in it its not too bad with the quick release hub that moves the steering wheel forward about 3 inches it sits comfortably, thanks to the tilt wheel.

I wouldnt do it too much work for just rwd

Way too much power for only 2 wheels..imo..

But not for two fwd wheels???

Rwd it would be fine with a turbo BP (miata guys, hello), but the AWD transfer case could not handle that stress
