How to Build a Cheap Sports Car is both the story of building a Miata-powered sportscar based on the Lotus Seven, and a technical manual on how to build your own. The build takes you from stripping down a wrecked Miata, through the pitfalls and small victories of the construction, to the tuning of the final result on the racetrack. The technical information covers everything from the fundamentals of brake systems to car setup.
