Hey guys! I promised you a writeup on this car a while back, but I just haven't got around to putting it together. I guess you know how the story ends now. I'll still try to put it together, I've been developing that car for nearly 5 years.

The car is a riot to drive. And super-quick - we were pretty happy with the end result. We took a 5 minute penalty because of that failed relay...and finished 4:58 behind the winning car. Ahh, racing...

This car and the MG fed off each other. Things I learned from one went into the other. They've actually both got about the same power and weight, but the MG actually has more torque. It's not as good on the suspension or braking front, though. Silly street car.

The Hayabusa project is one that I was actually talking about for years but nobody took me seriously. Then Dave went for it. I would have installed it differently, I was thinking of a mid-mounted engine and avoiding the Miata trans for lighter weight.
