Midlana - first drive

Just down the street and around the block - baby steps. I was breaking enough laws as it was... Midlana first street drive

Congratulations.

I've never gotten a project to that point for one reason or another...

Cool GiTS graphics at the start

I read through the whole build at least up to the point where you were dyno-testing it. The gear whine sounds really mean. With big downforz this could easily be quicker than most high-end sports cars.

As always, outstanding work, Kurt. Your fabrication skills are awe-inspiring.

damn speed bumps

nice, congrats

I applaud you on your self-restraint. Looking forward to seeing what it's like at speed. That said, just getting her around the block is no small feat. Congrats indeed.

I love it! Those look suspiciously like Miata uprights. One of the things on my radar is custom inboard pickup points and longer a-arms for the Exocet, it seems as if someone beat me to it along with some nice pushrods and rockers. Very nice job there.

Congrats. Quite a milestone. It is odd that there is no one else outside in your video.

very nice. Congrats!

Can't wait for the book!

Congrats on the first drive! I've been watching this project for a while....

Is there a build thread on this vehicle?

Been following since I came across the Kimini book. Congrats!

Oh... duh, guess I should have put a link in the video. Where's my salesmanship... sheez. Thanks for the comments!

That's awesome. Been idly following your build since the Kimini.

Good shtuff!!!

Nothing fell off!

That must've been a great feeling.

I think your car is great looking!

Great! Looking forward to the construction manual!

turbo K series in that thing should be amazing. Those engines are very impressive with boost pressures

Keep up the good work!

Aside from the obvious, I really like the mirror bar!
