Gus!

Had the hood-piece there for the 2008 MACG. Not sure if there were any good pics though. Broke it over the winter, just fixed it last week.

Might wanna ask Russ or Josh or Terri how it runs...

Lots of tweaking and refining to do, but all in good time. It runs and drives now, thats what counts!

Oh, sorry!  I'm still a little out-of-sorts from Saturday night.
The GTXR2 is an incredible piece of machinery!  To put it mildly, Matt shifted, and my stomach was forced into a little ball, then pushed out of my ass! The way this car pulls is amazing! Equally as nice, is the braking ability.  After the previously mentioned feat with my stomach, some yahoo pulled out in front of us, and he mildly applied the brakes. If it wasn't for my seatbelt, I would have been propelled through the windshield!
Simply put, the car is amazingly fast, and stops just as well.

this was my build thread:
http://teamcapri.com/capri-gi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=000132

The Miata rearend could work with a massive amount of work - its got a huge subframe, and also double wishbone suspension. That takes up a lot of space. I dont think the wheelbase is spot on though.
