Quote from: FatsDear god. Take it money\'s not an issue then Lol

Quote from: Red and SingleWOW, nice lump you have there.....2 piece eccentric shaft....what benefit does that give you ??

Quote from: Red and SingleAwesome, how many rpm do you plan to run ??

What turbo will you be using ??

And at what boost ??

Quote from: travellinbobThat looks the business to me!!!!!! some serioius investment not only in monetary values but also in the design process. Excellent oto see and I wish you all the best with it. 700hp should surely give you the highest hp of a mazda powered car in europe too.
   Can I ask why you sourced the motor from nz?
  cheers, michael.

Quote from: Kash_that is looking awesome, well done!!!!! keep us updated on the build and when she\'s running...

Quote from: Jono FD3Rotary art do the lexen windows mate....... You gona have this beast on the road ready for rotorstock next year mate???

Jono

P.S loving the car mate!! top notch work!

Quote from: vest_racingAnyone now how much Lexan windows all round would set my back?

Quote from: MazdarotarypartsHi and thankyou for the pictures, please keep them coming as you build the car.

We can supply Lexan windows for the following prices plus tax and shipping

Rear screen 3mm or 4 mm 3144 Kroner (£280)

Front screen 5mm with special hard coating 3368 Kroner (£320)

Quote from: KieronThat looks nuts!!! Love it :cheers

Steering wheel is on the wrong side though :Hammer :rollin

Quote from: gordothat is going to be one awesome car when finished. i would love to build something like that. have you picked a colour for the car?

Quote from: DRAGONGREAT WORK!!! How are you going to make sure you get the top of the coil-over mount in the correct place?

Quote from: TonyCWhat will you be attaching the top of the struts to?
What have you done with the cross member? I can see some welding but I\'m not familair enough with the component to be able to tell what has altered without comparing a standard one.

Quote from: TonyCDented is the right word :)

You might as well use FD struts, the strut doesn\'t affect geometry on these cars as it is double wishbone - you still have the upper and lower wishbone mounts. They define camber, castor, etc. The strut is just providing damping and springing. You just need to make sure when mounted it is straight and does not bind in compression. The biggest problem you have is that the strut supports the car and when on track will have some very significant loads fed into it - the brackets you put together will need to be very beefy. If not then you run into the potential of the brackets being \'softer\' than the spings. So you may think the suspension is very stiff but the mounting brackets flex before the springs do. That will be undampered movement and the car will feel horrible, and you don\'t want a bracket to fail under load as it\'ll pitch you off track faster than you can say \'arghhh\'.

Quote from: TonyCTrouble is you need that strut length, as the upper wishbone is too small to get a spring through, so by fitting a short strut you are artificially limiting suspension travel, and to avoid hitting the bump stops (when the suspension spring rate basically goes to infinity) you will be forced to run much harder springs than are perhaps required.
It\'ll be an interesting problem to solve. What\'s the intended use for the car? racing I presume? In which series?

Quote from: Wombat-007Never been a big fan of orange on cars........until now!!! Very very nice, now you\'ve got me thinking of a respray!!! Your rex is going to look the nutz when finished.
Good to see your progress reports, keeps me motivated too

Quote from: Jono FD3mmmmmmmmmmm, please say they will fit!!!! That thing is going to be insain mate!!

Jono

Quote from: vest_racingHere are the colour that is going on the car..

Had this colour on a car 10 years ago...:rollin

Quote from: ENVYDlooks spot on that mate! coming along very nice!

Quote from: SupraZedThe extent of this work is astonishing, it\'s like watching an episode of Overhaulin\' on Discovery Turbo, it\'s mind boggling the kind of work they do.
Keep the pics coming. :Thumbsup!

Quote from: JoehLol where do you put the suspension?

Quote from: Joeh:O thats a good choice, but with that much power, I would suggest a very solid setup :) (less power loss on acceleration during drag? ;) )

Quote from: JoehI ment life insurance :P

Quote from: Initial-DGreat work fella, I know how much effort this takes as I\'m doing similar myself - keep it up! :D

Quote from: interloper393Wow im loving this thread :) your doing great bud... what are u using to remove all the paint? is this to reduce a bit more weight lol

Quote from: FishHave you not thought about replacing the bushes whilst cleaning the suspension parts?

Fish

Quote from: interloper393wow thats very ummm ORANGE!! hehe looking good as always.. what engine are u going to be running in this?

Quote from: RobbieRX-7I\'ve always wondered why these race fd\'s are painted unusually bright colours. TonyC, john aka atomic rex and your\'s. It\'s so the person infront on the track will see it in their rear view mirror and GET THE F@{K OUT THE WAY!

Great project. This forum is somewhat lacking in projects lately.

Quote from: Dracolooking really good
i got htose bushes too. how did you find it fitting them?

Quote from: karl_tate200 american dollars?? so how much were they?? sounds like a great price

Quote from: Dracothat is a bargin!!!
got to fit mine. did you get the diff bushes aswell. not sure if I will fit mine as not really advised unless (bushes nakard or you like hte rally car sound lol )

Quote from: BobbitThis tread is amazing, your work is very impressive! Keep up the great work bud

Quote from: Jimjitsuwell when you finish COME DO THE SAME TO MINE:rollin very nice work matey :Thumbs-up

Quote from: ENVYDlooks spot on that mate! how much did that welder cost it is a mig welder isnt it?

Quote from: PSIHi Lars, cars looking good, I like the colour!
Just checking that you got my email about the manifold?
Richard

Quote from: monkey-fd3sHave you tried //www.chassisshop.com for the brackets?

Good work by the way :)

Quote from: r08mkywow, what a little project you\'v got going on here.  Wish i had the knowledge, space, tools and the balls to do something like this


best of luck

Quote from: ds2000Stunning thread :D

Quote from: hammygreat build up this, cant wait to see it all come together!
 
keep up the good work!

Quote from: ENVYDmate you should paint or shine up your diff casing aswell since your sepnding so much time and money on it anyways! little parts like that would finish it off i think.

Quote from: travellinbobooooooooooooh nice stuff. has to be the build of the year so far this car.

Quote from: karl_tateyour going to be running 30psi?? :eek: :eek: :D
 
some good quality parts there. awaits for the next update :D

Quote from: karl_tatehave you tried one of the vendors on here although i would just look on ebay.
 
so what kind of power are you expecting at that boost level and what kind of engine spec/turbo are you going to be using??

Quote from: DRAGONWhat are you actually using this car for?

Quote from: TimmyLandspeed record???

Quote from: ENVYD;507185thats mint that mate! i want my grans 323 to be like that.
 
woohoo another update :D will be good to see whats happend in the last month or so!

Quote from: leeroy_25;509425I am loving the project and very kean to see the end result! Like the choice of kit too!! I have a project in this section too if you haven\'t already seen it? I ma wishing I hadn\'t got rid of my spare shell now! Although If another comes up I keep toying with building a track car! Can you tell me what you cleaned up the suspension bits with?? Did you use a scotchbrite pad on a die grinder or is it wire brushed using a die grinder? Makes a mega difference! and I appreciate the attention to detail! Just got to try and keep it all clean now!
Keep up the good work. Interested to know more about the engine spec to. I am new to rotaries so I am not familiar with the differences with all the generations of engine and what\'s different to the PP? I will have to search the threads!

Quote from: Jake;511801Nice project.  Are you sure that wing is real carbon fiber?  It looks carbon effect to me?

Quote from: Kevin;512256Fantastic project mate, can see the pedals in the photo\'s anyway :).  If this is going to be an out and out track car I wouldnt really recommend blending all the kit in together.  Just that if you do take a knock or end up in the gravel it\'s going to make a mess and cost alot more to put right.  I\'ve used a couple of strategically placed cable ties on our FD, works well even at speeds of 180kmh+

Cracking thread to read though!

Quote from: D1 WTF;512258would love to see some pics of the pedals.  how have you managed to fit them with the steering column.  i was under the impression that a standalone pedal box is near impossible as the steering column has to go between them

Quote from: D1 WTF;512267ah i forget you are left hand drive.  not possible for right i think

Quote from: ENVYD;512616stunning mate!
 
looks like its coming along very well!
 
i don’t think the wing is real CF though as i had the same wing on my 200sx you can tell by the strength fold on the under side of the wing plus the "weave" pattern stays the same at all angles you look at it!
 
also do you think it will give you the down force you need as it feels strong in hand but in 80+ mph winds they start to really flex and wobble!
 
should get a APR Racing wing :P
 
sorry to be a pain
steven

Quote from: RedRummy;518641Amazing thread, and a great looking project...   :god  :god

When are you expecting to turn the key for the first time?

Pleeease make sure you have a video camera for that!

:mmmm

Quote from: allstaruk;518650What do you use to clean up the metal parts to there shiney again?

Quote from: allstaruk;518650What do you use to clean up the metal parts to there shiney again?

Quote from: ENVYD;520841tis very good mate! coming along very nice!
 
i am no expert but will you no tget alot of wind resistance in the inner arch?!

Quote from: mx1311;520879very nice 2peice e-shaft

where did you get that from???

Quote from: vest_racing;521462(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/vest_racing/2%20august%202008/S6300563.jpg)

Quote from: Kevin;521471You going to be running some negative offsets then...... lol :Giggle

Quote from: leeroy_25;521830Project is certainly coming along now.. I presume you will be putting in some more brackets to stiffen up the bumper mounting? Is it not all very flimsey in the front at the moment?? My front bumper is mounted on a stock front end and thats pretty floppy! I will be putting some additional brackets in to stiffen it up.. The undertray will probably help as well.

Lee

Quote from: interloper393;521839with all the weight loss can you pick it up yet lol

Quote from: Initial-D;522427You could have gone at least a foot wider on the rear arches! ;)
Cool stuff keep the progress pics coming. :D

Quote from: karl_tate;522461looks good, what are you using to make the flared arches??

Quote from: Red and Single;522463I cant wait to see this finished and running

Quote from: gandyRX;522470looks really good matey i love threads like this

Quote from: karl_tate;522636great work as usual but wouldnt it of been easier to buy some :p

only joking, its always nice to know that you have made it all your self.

how is the engine coming along??

Quote from: ENVYD;528330:Hammerpaint i black with bright green inside! :D

Quote from: vest_racing;528360That was a nice colour...:Thumbs-up

But there are nobody near here that paint`s kandy..:o

U now that I live out in no mans land...:rollin

Quote from: Aikio;528374Hehe...  That\'s too bad... It\'s a really unusual and nice colour...

You live around E134 right? so the closest to you is stavanger or bergen? it\'s a bit of a drive just to get it painted in that colour...

Quote from: ENVYD;528545cool! you going to be making and selling them??

Quote from: ENVYD;528578cool how much do you think they will cost?
 
will have to see them finished first tho!

Quote from: Jono FD3;528992What release agents & waxes are you using on the mould mate, also how many coats are you applying?? the moulding should fall out of a mould that shape ;)

Jono

Quote from: ENVYD;531164looking good mate!
 
about the intercooler, is welding it to the car not a bad thing? incase you crack it on the track or something like that? will be a right fart to get off!

Quote from: ENVYD;531178ahh ok mate! i just read it wrong! lol
 
what size is it like?

Quote from: ENVYD;531692i dont know if you have already been asked this... but how much do you think the end total is going to cost you?
 
i would love to run a project like this myself!

Quote from: interloper393;531694i dont think it`ll cost too much, the skills vest has is saving him a fortune doing all his own work :)

Quote from: vest_racing;531696That is alot...:3gears-rh
 
Probably around £50 000,-

Quote from: ENVYD;531700that much! at least its not and all up front payment lol!

Quote from: logicalChimp;532000veery nice - seriously impressive amount of work you\'re putting in :)

(although you might want to give your camera a quick clean, unless it really is snowing inside your garage... :D)

Quote from: Kevin;539077The right side is the right side. :Thumbsup!

Quote from: acharlton;539219mate im quite young at the age of 19 but i spend every penny i get on my fd but that is incredable, does the front of that kit fit well onto the car as i am looking for new front end but have been told a lot of after market ones do not fit well?
fair play to you mate, that is insane
adam

Quote from: ENVYD;539399great work mate! is that your own garage? or a sort of garage that other poepl pay to get work done? if you get what i mean?
 
you seem to get alot of work done in one go! very good!

Quote from: sweetiewells;539452im loving that intercooler where can i get one!!! :Giggle

Quote from: ENVYD;539940why are you wanting a lexan sheet above a fire wall mate? never seen anyone do that before!
 
work looks good aswell mate!
 
 
steven

Quote from: ENVYD;539945you not going be useing the tail gate like?
 
did not think you would class lexan as a fire wall material lol!

Quote from: ENVYD;539949ah ok! just i have seen a few track spec rx7\'s with big fuel cells in the back with big pumps and so on with out this wall you are making so i was just a bit unsure!

Quote from: karl_tate;540248i love this build :D

try contacting atomic rex as i know they supply the same brakes so they maybe able to help you out.

Apr gtc300  wing It has been wind tunnel tested for the fd so works too!. I run one on my timeattack car.

Nice build

mat

Quote from: ENVYD;541867you have some skills mate! are the struts not to close together or do they sit in the same place as a stock FD shell?? just looks like you will have yo use loads of -camber to line the wheels up!

Quote from: Initial-D;542160My black wing is made by Sard in Japan - they have there wings on the Super GT cars and also the Time Attack R-Magic car - its 1800mm wide so lots of downforce and for wide boys only lol!! :D

I had wondered how you were going to mount the front coilovers with no top mounts!
Also with the plates welded in the boot how will you fasten the rear bumper? Actually your not running a stock rear so you probably need not worry!

Quote from: interloper393;542663Quick STOP!!! you`ve forgeot the rotors lol... are those dowl pins?  whats there advantage over the stock bolts?

Quote from: interloper393;542707why do you need more strength? sorry for the daft questions lol but iv never heard of the standard ones breaking? do they prevent flex so keep the gaskets n seals intact longer lol

Quote from: interloper393;542715ahh kewl cheers for that :) so there expensive im guessing lol.

Quote from: memski;542721Looking good! Will the studs not give you any problems when rebuilding i.e fitting the intermediate plate over the ecc shaft? Are you going to use a sump plate or don\'t you need one now you\'ve got the strengthened studs?

Quote from: memski;542723Lol nice one, keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing this finished :D

Quote from: interloper393;544097wow thats a big core lol, whats the size dimensions on that thing? are you just going to fab up the rest of it bud?

Quote from: Speedworks;544509Good that you\'re using a 2 piece exc shaft, because getting the center plate on with the studs wouldn\'t be possible and even building it without them in it would be a pain because you can\'t use the dowl pins temporarily..

Quote from: Rot8r;544666WOW! that 7 is outrageous! OMG! thats gona be loud!
thanks for all the updates, great seeing kiwi built rotary motor\'s in cars all over the world.

must take hours get a finish like that as well

Quote from: antnicuk;563529bling,   you will have to wear soft cotton gloves to fit that!

Quote from: karl_tate;581540engine looks great :D

any progress on the shell??

Quote from: leeroy_25;587241Hey there.. Cannot wait to see some more body work. Might give me some ideas for my next build! Be interested to see how your transition from the wide arches goes into the skirts?? Are you putting some super wide skirts on? Will see what it looks like but I could be interested in a set of arches! That being said I have a slight twist in mind.. What is the green gunk you are using over the joint? The problem I had on mine is after a cople of months the filler decided to sink back a bit and you can see dimples where the rivets were and a slight line around the edge of the arch.. at some point I will redo it.. I presume there s a bodywork trick to avoid this happening?!

Keep up the amazing work!

Lee

Quote from: trevtubby;587615Just out of curiosity, what kinda budget are you expecting to have spent on this car when finished? Ish.

It will be absolutely unbelievable, probably one of if not the best RX-7 in the world. Attention to detail ive seen is simply mind boggling.

Quote from: Draco;587624well it has been a while since I looked at this post and  it looks like your still doing a grand job. it looks AWESOME

Quote from: Red and Single;596971This is the best thread on this site.

I can\'t wait to see this finished / running, you should bring it to the UK and have a go in time attack !!!!!!

We\'d love to see that

Quote from: Archbish;601440this is probably a daft noddy question, but how are you getting the geometry correct?  Presumably measuring from various notable body points, or is there some other magical "using the force" way of doing it??

Quote from: Archbish;601478Sorry, that was badly asked question - the upper mounts for the suspension struts (not to mention lower arms, etc, etc).  How have you ensured that you\'ve got them in the stock positions?  They are points in 3 dimensions, and presumably they have to be accurate, so how have you measured to those points?  I guess you measured from a number of fixed spots on the remaining chassis before cutting the front off, or made a jig or something?

Quote from: Archbish;601569I\'m actually still trying to figure out where the two pieces of string that attach to the back of each wheel onto the plank are, and where they are going to go through the firewall...  and those are the phatest pram wheels I\'ve ever seen, and I\'ve never, ever come across a carbon fibre soap box before!! *grin*

seriously tho, I didn\'t realise the original lower suspension supports were still in place, but I did think the position of the top of the struts would be critical - please don\'t think I\'m bringing it down, it\'s merely hoping to learn more about this stuff!!

Quote from: topi;602100Nowegians ROCK at cars! Haha.

Are they 16x9 Borbets?

Quote from: topi;602107I\'ve been really trying to find pictures of FD\'s on proper sized wheels like that! Are they ET10 or something? I found some nice 16x8 ET0s that I think would suit well.

Quote from: Red and Single;602488Get on with this project please, I wish I had a car of this potential.

Quote from: tinker-27;606943just going back to the front wishbone angle and rack position if you have lowered it by 2" are you going to have bump steer problems ? if you are running out of adjustment i have some track rod ends that lower the position to help this problem, let mt know if you need any.     ps good work !!!

Quote from: tinker-27;630519your back shocks are on the wrong side the res goes inside as the wheel wont go on ,they are very clos to the body when in the down position,

Quote from: shaunwil;633172Are you going for a drift setup having the handbrake that way ?

Looking awesome as always, glad your still updating :D

Quote from: AtomicRex;634176I dont think those photos do the size of the turbo justice!
 
With regards to the Nitrons...what is wrong with them at the rear?
 
You cant alter the physical length of any damper unit, as that would require you to cut the rod.  Have you altered the pick up points at the rear?  If so....may have been a good idea to have told me about that before ordering?? :p
 
You can drop the height though on the spring platforms.

Quote from: vest_racing;634179I will take some other pics of the Turbo when I get home from work..

Nothing wrong with the Nitrons, just that the car is to high in the rear..:cool

So I will just lift the pickup point at the top on the car..
U shouldnt lower the car by droping the tension bolts on the springs..


On hight adj coilovers they adjust it on the lower part of the damper, the lower part of the damper is like a nut..:Laugh
Was hard to find the words..:rollin

Quote from: Erdin;634879wht turbo is that?

Quote from: marco;634922rice racings kit doesnt use a pump- uses the manifold pressure to spray the water in preturbo. (IIRC)

Quote from: slingo;634948surely only half the intercooler is going to be affective ! are you using that bumper ?

Quote from: marco;634955so you spraying preturbo then? water only?

Quote from: vest_racing;634966I was planing on using water.
 
But I don`t know if I will be using this kit.
Will probably fill my intercooler with water.. :3Confused

Quote from: dthebuk;634929I don\'t think ive ever seen an intercooler that big...ever!!
 
its looking good. Also the HSD\'s above are very good coilovers and they are half the price of most. Also agree with the above, on a strack beast, you\'d want to preload to keep it stiff, though im sure you know this anyway!!

Quote from: MaLicE;636714are you gonna coat the manifold?? also have you made bracing for it?? that turbo is huge lol! what sort of power are you looking to get?? also forgive me if i missed it but what porting did u have done on the engine?

Quote from: MaLicE;636813ok this is a random request but could you put a cd next to your turbo and next to the intercooler to just show a good comparison for the size lol... both look massive but i cant work out how massive lol

Quote from: ENVYD;636965would it not of been better using a smaller hight intercooler with a thicker core? as you are going to have restricted airflow due to the bumper anyways?
 
stunning fabrication on the car tho mate!

Quote from: ENVYD;636977ah okay mate, 5" core, bloody hell those picks do not do it justice! would love to see it in the flesh!

i would be carefull with cutting the hole on such a sexy front bumper, but then again its a Go car and not a Show car!
 
keep it up!

Quote from: Erdin;638484vest what elect fuel pump was you going to use? Im going to be using 3 pumps my self, will i need to use a bigger Alternator?.

2 x xs 18203
1 x in tank nippon denso pump

Quote from: vest_racing;637074Mabye I should take my HD camcorder and take a walk around video of the car..:D

Quote from: rx7boy;658104Knock Knock Anybody there !! :god:god:god

Quote from: captainbizzaro;721732Would it be wrong to share my appreciation for that trailer?! Fair play.

Quote from: MaLicE;777343wow glad to see you are back!! did you sort out the issues you had with a trader??

Quote from: MaLicE;777349poss one of my fav builds lol!! you need to finish it :)

Quote from: vest_racing;778232anyone know where I can buy a bracket to get the altinator on the left side of the engine?
I know xtreme rotaries have, but the shipping is very expensive.
So was hoping to get it abit closer..:)

Quote from: rx7boy;778246Surely if you adding a turbo then the manifold and turbo will foul the alternator if it\'s on the left hand side ?

Quote from: memski;778668I believe kev/billetbitz does, not sure if he\'s on here or fduk the most. Worth a try.
