Front cover? Awesome news! Can\'t wait for my subscription copy to land on the doorstep.

 ...and jantore - after seeing your car being built, I can\'t wait to see you on track \'in the flesh\' as it were!

the chassi is beeing sold off, so a new one is going to be built. Almost complete tube frame chassi. Will be built similar to the Revolution Time Attack FD.

So wont be in england before 2011 for a new tune of the engine to 9500 rpm

When are we gonna have an fd winning time attack? Im getting bored of seeing evos and scoobies dominate the season. I think we should conbine forces with fduk, get EVERY member to donate £££ and get the finest rotary tuners to build the ultimate rx7 to dominate timeattack. In the meantime we could kidnapp the Stig to do the driving..........

Id let the stig drive it for it to win. Not sure if im good enough :(

Its an outstanding car. There is a 143 page thread on FDUK about the build !

Been round oulton in the passenger seat and all I can say its a brilliant piece of engineering. A complete car where everything is over engineered for racing so it would just pound round the track all day and not miss a beat !

Would love to see the 4 rotor and 3 rotor on track, especially at Oulton Park !

shaun it will happen ;)

But sadly first time will be 2011 :( As the new car will take time to build, as there will be a lot of tube framing to be welded in. And a alot of cutting in the chassi. The engine is going to be no longer forward then the stock 13B engine :) So the engine will be faaaaar back.

If you\'re Kevin Miles, then yes, it is, dude. I seem to remember complimenting you on it before, the really nice anthracite coloured DC2, yeah? It\'s the entry for March in their car of the year poll


Oh, yeah, and congrats, Matt, though I\'ve already heaped praises on ya over on t\'other site. Still top bombing, dude :cheers

Without a shadow of a doubt that\'s the best looking and best prepared car of its type that I\'ve seen in some time. You\'ve every right to be very proud indeed.

Great feature, great car. Loved it.

If you ever sell, you let me know..
