Nice work, I'd have replied sooner had I seen the thread! I love old Mazdas they are awesome.

First I thought you may have had the rare as rotary engined truck!

I like how your using solid works to conceptualise what you wanna do! Nice work.

Looks good, nice cooking!

The air suspension also works as spring and shockabsorber?
Or does that depend on the high off the car?

thanks! :D

yip, the units im using on the front are an air spring over a shock absorber, so they're easy to mount (just like a shock on its own). on the back im using regular airbags and separate shocks

What, still no update? Its like you have a busy life or something and this is only a hobby :mrgreen: .

The best part about having awesome ideas and crazy plans is realising how much it will cost and going out to get drunk instead.
