Then we went and picked it up in a Mazda5. How do you fit a Miata hood in a Mazda5? This is how…
Obviously, our ghettocharging setup wasn't going to get along with the hood, so we had to make some minor adjustments.
Better…
The cooling system was also running afoul of the new door rule. Because we designed this car back when LeMons was equal parts demolition derby and endurance race, our radiator sat in our passenger's seat. A conventional door was really gonna cramp our style.
Until, that is, we re-styled the door…
So yeah, that side-mount cooling system… That also includes some very effective coolant path re-routing that anyone running a high-output Miata should think about. That will have to be the subject of another story. Hopefully in less than a year.
Did you forget everything else about this car? Like how we doubled the horsepower for about $100? Go find everything HERE.
