Building a Locost 7 frame, at 240x speed acceleration. This is the start of my build and represents roughly 50 hours of work between 4/21 and 4/28/2007 to construct the basic frame. Run at roughly 1000x fast forward, it will only take you seven minutes.

Build a Locost 7: Step 2 -- How to strip a Miata in under 4 minutes.
How to strip a Miata in under 4 minutes. Goal: Pull everything worth saving for the Locost 7 build: engine, rear subframe, uprights, hubs, brakes, wiring harness (intact!), gauges, seats, steering rack, steering column, Exhaust header, hardware, etc. I probably should have sold the tub intact to a Spec Miata racer, but I frankly couldn't get it out of the garage once it was not a roller.
BTW, this video works MUCH better in "High Quality," due to the jerky nature of time-lapse video. There's a link for it just below the video's volume control.

Locost 7 First Drive!
No description required. (You can skip the first three minutes if you have a short attention span!)
Build a Locost 7: Step 3 -- Rear subframe
Hmmm...seems like there's a lot of work here and not much to show. Oh well...such is life.
I mounted the rear subframe and built enough structure to hold it in place. Note that the fabricator should be wearing eye protection when grinding.

Lotus 7 locost pull with Evo X 10
Let it be known I cheated. I started in 2nd and he started in 3rd. He was catching up fast. That is one FAST FAST evo. On a Dyno log he makes 458 at the wheels. Its amazing what a GT30/76R size FP red turbo, and 31 psi on E85 will do for a evo x. Both cars are VERY quick.
The following was a spirited acceleration from 5 mph to 45 mph on a 45 mph road. :-)
Murcielago Replica chassis first drive
This is the first drive of the supercharged LQ9 car we are building for the best customer we've ever had. This is a monster and is just putting around just over idle. Car has a G50 and about 600hp.......for now.
