    I just became aware of this wonderful, well designed motorcar. I am simply taken with it, and applaud you guys for a masterful piece of craftsmanship! I live in the States and hope to afford this in the next year, unless a generous patron steps up to help me out!😁 You did a marvelous job of showing the step-by-step process, thank you for your efforts. Look forward to seeing the next kit from your company . (thank you also for helping to save the manuals!...God bless)

    Here because of The Late Brake... I think anyone with an interest in engineering and of kit cars will appreciate the superb work you and your team have put into this kit. The fit and tollerances look so crisp and precise. You'd think they came from a multi-million £ manufacturing facility. I wish I could afford one.

    Holy cow I just watched the full build. I'm blown away. This is fantastic. Obviously the older miata parts have been seriously refurbished, making the end result a new car. It's just incredible . . . As the original straight 8 had a supercharger, it would be cool if you offered a supercharger kit too

    What a marvelous car. I dreamt of this all my life, as I like the looks of these racing cigars. And here it is!!! Reliable technology and a very well designed kit! Unfortunately the fund would directly end at the legal inspection. Driving through the alps with this car (and an old suitcase fitted to it as a trunk) would be soooo much fun!

    How would you recommend going about cleaning the parts before assembly?

      Why install a six cylinder, the original Alpha Tipo 158 was an inline 8 cylinder? So either install an inline 8 or stick with the as-engineered Miat 4 cylinder, and if you want more power, then there are turbo or supercharger kits available for the Mazda BP4 engine...

    Here in Australia, we're paying WELL above the odds for cars - a decent NB MX-5 is around $15,000 and then some. What I'm wondering is this: have your fun with the Tipo kit for the foreseeable, but keep your NB shell, & then, in the future depending on which car is worth the most in 20 years, put it back to stock. Is that nonsense? or should I just buy the rattiest low KM's NB Miata I can find...

    • @tipo1843
      @tipo1843  2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The 6 speed has a larger gearbox casing which reduces pedal & feet space in the cabin, conflicts with the bulkhead, floor & footplates and doesn't allow room for the battery tray. To be fair you don't really need 6 gears in a race car when you mostly work between 2nd - 4th
      You could build with the 6 speed but there are more disadvantages than advantages & with the larger wheel size of Tipo there's no real world ratio gain than the 5 speed

    Can these beautiful car kits be made street legal? Or are they for racing only?

      Yes. 4 cylinder engine the only downside. Planing to get one and install a N52 engine. Will see how it goes. Will be so much fun!

    Don't really understand why you use a pcd adapter and then the spline adapter? The sheet metal work looks lovely though

    • @tipo1843
      @tipo1843  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good question Angus, We have to use a PCD adapter because the diameter the MX5 studs are on is too small to just fit a spline adapter. They would come through within the taper of the spline adapter and the wheel wouldnt fit & you could get nuts on. The PCD adapter increases the diameter of the stud pattern to a safe size and also widens the track more in proportion with the cars aesthetic & stance

    Leider wurde das Kit wieder teurer und bleibt somit für Otto-Normal nur ein Traum. Leider nur für Reiche erschwinglich. Tolles Fahrzeug, aber leider nur ein Traum

      Der Bausatzpreis hat sich schon lange nicht verändert.
      Es bietet ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
      Die Technik und Qualität sind Weltklasse.
      Die meisten Kunden sind überrascht, dass es nicht das Doppelte kostet!
      Danke

    Why is it necessary to add the shift linkage kit rather than just use the original shifter?

    • @darrencollins4254
      @darrencollins4254 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Good Question Thomas. Its because the car is a single seater the lever is in the centre, behind/under the steering wheel, below the knee & to comply with Blue Book regulations on seat harnesses to go racing you simply couldn't reach it when your strapped in. Many period race cars had similar linkages back in the day and we have replicated this for realism and to enhance the period driving experience; plus its a really cool bit of engineering!

      I doubt you can reach far enough forward while driving to operate it without the linkage.

      There are different formulations of anti seize, some are nickel and some are copper (and some are food grade).
      Electricians often use copper based anti seize
