    Yep I know that now, didn't before but I already had the parts.

    I'm not a big fan of the TTL and trailing arm setup, always been a fan of double wishbone.

    To each their own though. Looking good!

    the way the gtx rear suspension is different from the miata is i dont have a upper control arm, so I didnt have to notch the frame at all.

    Very nice!! What are your plans for the "bed"?
    a new piece of sheet metal will go down, carpet, fuel cell, the top will be covered with a fiberglass bed cover with a spoiler mounted to it so it will raise up on gas shocks. a few subs and a amp or two with some flashy lights for show drool
