I have done a quick photoshop of what it might look like.

It's pretty rough, and it doesn't really look right.

I'm no photoshop god, so feel free to improve it.

The proportions are all wrong, the roof needs to be raised, and the cab looks like it is right in the middle of the vehicle.

we just finished building a 180sx ute to semi-ADR specs, had to use chromolly bars to reinforce the roof (to prevent sagging) and also in case of a rollover. Also along the side the newly open tray area had to be reinforced on the sides, as the crumple zone becomes bigger in case of a side impact.

Although looking at the structure of stagea's, I'd say one with a sunroof and a moon roof might be more structurally secure for the chop :(

What do you think it would look like getting a front damaged written off stagea and cutting the back off it to make a trailer? i've seen it done with hilux/holden utes, might be interesting to look into with a stagea. wouldn't be the biggest trailer, but it would look very cool being towed by another stagea

    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
