Supermiata S1 build - Vegas
#151
Not to sidetrack, so pm if you want but the 3 and 4mm stuff we can get is not hollow/corrugated in the middle like the proper "Alumalite" is.
Ours is just sold core plastic (that im aware of at least) and quite heavy. Though i do use it for undertray and stuff.
Edit: Thanks Emilio, will look in to that.

Vegas will not have a shock tower brace. It will have cage extensions to the shock towers through the firewall however. I have never been able to discern any difference in handling with a traditional shock tower brace. They do seem to lower NVH a bit on street cars though.

Other stiffening mods?
Do you recommend any other stiffening mods or products like Flyin Miata sells?

The car is back in SoCal (woot). Renderos Racing is making a few small tweaks, taking molds off the wide steel fenders and then it comes home for us to start bolting stuff to it.
The two Setrab coolers have integrated fans. Fans will be controlled by the MS3Pro Ultimate ECU via thermocouples in trans and diff. Pumps in trunk. I had asked Tony to cut an intake in the RR qtr panel but he suggested putting the inlet in the wheel well. Better pressure differential, cleaner looking and no drag penalty. Note that it angles upwards so a screen should keep rocks out. Heat exchanger box has a water drain.
