A beautifully thought out and engineered kit. What a joy it is to watch a video which gets straight to the point, no fuss, no waffle, no wasted time a clear narration and detailed camera work. Well done guys.

Looking forward to starting mine now that I know it will only take me 47 minutes and 26 seconds! Very easy video to follow so compliments to those involved.

Just seen the Tipo on The Late Brake Show. What a fantastic kit you’ve designed, I’d love one but such a toy is beyond me, however, I wish you every success. Subscribed.

What an amazingly well-thought-out kit! ❤️❤️

Beautiful - a lot of thought went into creating that kit.

Very impressive and a beautiful finish. Well thought through, wish you every success from Australia.

Amazing. I so admire what you guys did here. I hope you are still making the kit when I retire as I could not imagine a better project for retirement!

Beautiful car. Vary comprehensive kit. Vary professional and complete. Thanks for the video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great video! Been wanting to build my own mx-5 based car and this is like an essay on how to do it, thanks.

What a brilliant video. You make it look so easy. Now to get saving. That is the most beautiful kit car I've ever seen

Great build! Would love to do something like this someday

Absolutely fantastic looking machine. I’m impressed with the beefy frame and the thought that has gone into establishing such a rigid structure that will also provide maximum passenger protection (in as much as is possible given the mission). Well done!

What an immaculate conception. Brilliant in every thought, design concept and assembly process. Mostly love the insignia my company logo and my dad's nose art on his Hawker Hurricane Cheers

I wish I could afford one, I would love to have a go at building one, great work on the design, it’s great to see under the skin how everything goes together and has been thought out

Finally I’ve found exactly what I have been looking for!

Beautiful engineered and not a power tool in sight. Well done.

What a superbly engineered kit. I want one.

Late brake show brought me here. Master class in How-to videos. Great car!

Congratulations for this piece of art 👌

I just emailed the Dutch RDW to ask whether this car is elligable for a roadworthiness attest and a licence plate, If the answer is yes I'll start saving up for the kit. Great work!

Superb Darren !! Well done! MEC

What a marvelous car. I dreamt of this all my life, as I like the looks of these racing cigars. And here it is!!! Reliable technology and a very well designed kit! Unfortunately the fund would directly end at the legal inspection. Driving through the alps with this car (and an old suitcase fitted to it as a trunk) would be soooo much fun!

Lovely piece of engineering. Nice job !

Here because of The Late Brake... I think anyone with an interest in engineering and of kit cars will appreciate the superb work you and your team have put into this kit. The fit and tollerances look so crisp and precise. You'd think they came from a multi-million £ manufacturing facility. I wish I could afford one.

Holy cow I just watched the full build. I'm blown away. This is fantastic. Obviously the older miata parts have been seriously refurbished, making the end result a new car. It's just incredible . . . As the original straight 8 had a supercharger, it would be cool if you offered a supercharger kit too

Brilliant video, well explained.

So simple and very nice 👌

This is absolutely fascinating to watch

It is an amazing video. Detail, depth, accuracy. An incredible effort to achieve concise and precise build information. As ex vehicle engineer was enthused immediately of ‘good ol days’. 1970 built Rochdale Olympic 2, however with sensible hat on wondered about homologation? Mud guards and todays ‘cotton wool’ world of health & safety. Thank you, for taking me back- may sales be your reward for a truly worthwhile project thought out and presented impeccably! LUV ANGRY RADIATOR GRILL!

I just became aware of this wonderful, well designed motorcar. I am simply taken with it, and applaud you guys for a masterful piece of craftsmanship! I live in the States and hope to afford this in the next year, unless a generous patron steps up to help me out!😁 You did a marvelous job of showing the step-by-step process, thank you for your efforts. Look forward to seeing the next kit from your company . (thank you also for helping to save the manuals!...God bless)

Great presentation

That was bloody brilliant!

I was an early kit buyer in US, looking forward to build weekend with Ant Antstead!

Excellent production

👏Amazing video and what a fantastic project👏.My wife and are planning to retire between 50-55. We are 41 at the moment and have always talked about building a kit car together. She use to have an Alfa 918 Spider (1998) and absolutely loved it. I think this is going to be the car for us (she seems to love it!)... so special, so beautiful and with enough Alfa homage. Great video and expect us to come to you in a few years time! 👍

Absolutley Stunning.

Notwithstanding all of the modern accoutrements, I must say that I am suitably impressed! ✔️ I have also just decided to grow a fraction of an inch, I am now 5' 10" a personal seat preference made my stature grow overnight.

Love it so much id love to see other types of cars too

Stunning, and looks like an easy build for track use only

I came accross this video during a surfing session and am very glad I did... The first thing that grabbed me was the car of course (Gorgeous) and the second was that there was no "Please subscribe" I really don't like that, especially at the start of a video when you haven't seen the quality of it...I will never buy one of these kits unfortunately but watched the whole video to the end and loved to see the car being driven...Having said all that about subscribing, I have done so, because this video and hopefully more like it in the future are what You Tube should be about, not whiney people who demand you like and subscribe to their video, then it has firstly, terrible music and then bugger all content...Well done and a really beautiful car...

so glad to hear someone say "shock absorber" and not strut, although dampener is more accurate.

Fantastic engineering

How long will it be until we see a new racing class for these stars. These gentlemen have produced a real winner for a new class. Next someone will stick a Lotus engine in it and all will result in costs spiralling and it will be out of reach of the many, so insist on a class with either a maximum engine size or insist only MX5 engines only! Great video, and a pleasure to watch.

I wish I could order myself one someday... Love these single seat Alfa racers!

Simple. Beautiful. Beautiful apparent quality of the kit parts. Simply beautiful. My 2009 NC FL 2.0 Sport in True Red is an immaculate daily driver, but this would be awesome for the occasional sunny outing. I wonder what the kit costs. It would be worth getting a cheap donor... Hmmmm.... All the best, Rob in Switzerland

Excellent "How To" video.

How would you recommend going about cleaning the parts before assembly? Some of these MK2 MX5s will have quite a bit of surface rust/muck on the suspension etc. On that subject, maybe it would be an idea to make a video about the stripdown of the MX5.

I would consider applying thin rubber tape on all the aluminum panels where it attaches to the frame in order to reduce buzzing

Man that is beautiful!

Reminds me on my 1960 MGA build from frame to car after 4 years.

What a beautiful kit car. To what scale of the original is it? Looks a bit small to me. You’ve designed a beautiful car here,my sincerest compliments.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

wow great car and no selfish videos of people, like most on youtube.

this is beautiful!

WHAT A BEAUTY WOW.

a work of art!

Certainly appears to be a well thought out kit.

I’ll be honest not a fan of the overall look of the car ,but what an amazing build amazing attention to detail ,needs an alternative version with normal wheels more like the MeV designs and I’m in / that gear linkage is beautiful,well done guys

Forget the rather well engineered and gorgeous little car, oh to have that much clear dry covered space😀.

What an incredibly well thought out kit and assembly video! Now I want one…😃what’s the approx transport cost of a full build to Western Australia please?

What a beautifully executed video. You should feel really proud of the hours of work that must have gone into producing this car. Do you have any plans to fit headlights, side lights, indicators and break lights etc. What does one do if you get caught out in a sudden downpour of rain ? Are you looking to produce a hood or cover please

Fantastic replica! Only thing I'd change might be the exhaust manifold with the two fake rear lateral pipes that mimics one for a six cylinder engine. I think that the car is so well engineered that it does not have to resort to faking the exhaust manifold as done.

🎉🎉🎉🎉 gracias OK que bien como lo esplicas

Imagine being able to go back in time with this version of the Tipo 184….

Here in Australia, we're paying WELL above the odds for cars - a decent NB MX-5 is around $15,000 and then some. What I'm wondering is this: have your fun with the Tipo kit for the foreseeable, but keep your NB shell, & then, in the future depending on which car is worth the most in 20 years, put it back to stock. Is that nonsense? or should I just buy the rattiest low KM's NB Miata I can find... Hmm I want that Tipo184 though!

Wow! Cool!

It´s great !! like teacher in school ! One question : If I will have my donor vehicle with continental steering (Left Hand Side) ,is possible to use it ? Probably not...

Someone should put a rotary in one of these. That'd be absolutely mental.

great video, would you not be better to use a sealant between aluminium panels and steel chassis ? eliminate corrosion ?

45:55 - SUPERB...!!!

Imagine this with a turbo.very simple add on.a 35 to 50 percent in power would be amazing.what year mazda mx5 is used.

Nice !!!

Does possible to drive this car in France on open road?? Thank you anyway for this beautifull proposal!

Kind of weird the six in one fake exhaust when it's really a four-banger that's interesting to keep the look on the outside as it were that's pretty cool I like it lower it a little more in the front and let's take it out on the street

Fantastic and beautiful car I wonder if you can make a 2 seater car like the Bugatti that would be great 👍

Question, the NB had a 5 speed and also a 6 speed in a version of it, are there any adaptations you have to do to get it to work with the 6 speed, or is it the same thing as the 5 speed

Can you explain how you got your factory car through an IVA test in its present form?

Can these beautiful car kits be made street legal? Or are they for racing only?

I would like one with a straight six engine.

The spinners on the left side of the car should be left hand thread. This was mentioned earlier but the vid showed the wrong one

inline 6, turbo and 4wd. maybe some new age rims and slicks

Will a LS engine fit in like it does in a stock Miata?

Don't really understand why you use a pcd adapter and then the spline adapter? The sheet metal work looks lovely though

Looks like a top quality kit untill you came to brake lines .why copper .here in the states copper is not allowed on brake lines.also all brake lines use double flares.i realize its a light car but brake safety is of utmost importance.great looking chassis .good engineering and thought went into this .could be used for many different car models.keep up good work.using as many origional donor parts takes advantage of mazda factory engineering as well as keeping project cost down.love the thought and engineering of shifter..keep up good work.

At risk of sounding sacrilegious. I love manual transmissions but would an automatic transmission work? My use for this car is not racing but as a drive in the country by myself.

Brilliant. Just need to persuade my wife......

Cracker Mate .. I wish I was 60 years younger ..🙃.

Ho appena cominciato a smantellare la Mazda, stò preparando i vari componenti meccanici per la verniciatura presso ditta specializzata, anche alla bulloneria verrà fatto un trattamento galvanico per riportare il tutto allo stato originario. Ho visto nel video che l'albero di trasmissione deve essere accorciato, qual'è la misura giusta? Come avevo previsto l'aspetto più noioso di questo progetto è la preparazione dei vari componenti che vengono smontati dall'auto donatrice, ma ormai dopo anni di restauri di vecchi veicoli sono abituato.

Copper grease is an anti size grease?

Wow

I'm going to need at least a 15 gallon gas tank. I'd retain the lighting system so I could register and drive it.

Will turbo fit?

Where can you drive it?

Who needs a practical family car when you can get this for the same money :-)

Can this be built road legal in the UK?

So you want to build a tubular chasis

Unfortunately this could never get through Australian road registration.

Why is it necessary to add the shift linkage kit rather than just use the original shifter?

did you play a role in inglorious bastards movie as a german officer?

The bottom rear shock mount is in single shear! That seems like a bad idea

The reverse gear is a design flaw….sticking a knob on it so you can muscle it into reverse is just a hack described as a feature.
