Hi'o
« on: 30 June 2008, 00:40:43 »
Hi there,

Over the coming months (years [smiley=embarassed.gif])  I shall be shoehorning an X30XE or Y32SE & manual box into a Triumph Spitfire.

An Omega seems to be the best place to source these so here I am  ;D

My mate has rebuilt a Spitfire, but would never have thought of putting Miggy running gear in it.

I would have concerns on body strength and the rear xle/suspension/brakes etc.

Yup I don't trust them at all!
Shall be replacing rear suspension  anyway, may end up using most of the omega rear and just cut down the rear axle by 16cm on each side.
Would make life easier for fitting brakes and wheels that can put the power down.
As for the chassis strength, it only has to look like a spit on the outside,  ;) Either reinforce or build a mostly new space frame.

Just getting large quantity's of planning out of the way now while I clear the driveway to make room for 2 cars in bits.
