pics of miata with motor plate??? looks a little pricey to buy the new k, i see the guys on the $2003 challenge used a motor plate, anyone have any pics of this or be able to point out some cons upon doing it this way?
also i have been searching around and no one seems to be doing the backyard-mod your own k member, or atleast no write ups on it, where the junk yard miata builds?
i picked up a decent 92 for 300$ and have a few ideas for a cheap build, lets see someone with a welder and knows how to use it.
welder>buying overpriced ****.

You must not have looked too hard. There are several people that have built their own K-members. Either modified the stock, or made their own from various tubing. I remember seeing one miata using a motor plate, but can't remember who's it was or where i saw it. After spending quite a bit on my build, i can see some areas that could easily save you quite a bit of money. Unfortunately this is one of those builds that nickle and dimes you to death...
Not to sound like an ***, but doing a Google Search brings up quite a bit. Have fun.

Not everyone has used a kit. Further, a lot of guys of whom chose to modify or build their own K-frame, don't post on the internet. Further, chosing to buy a k-frame is not an indication of welding ability, or lack there of. There are plenty of k-frame pics around; either from kit or not. The pics alone + some measurements aught to be enough for a skilled craftsman to build from.
