New indestructable rotors and apex seals I have developed.

At least we know that the drift car is an FD, well with an FD engine anyhow
Any more updates ross?
Yes! Progress is happening, but slow, becassue we are so bust with customer cars, although thats cool cus we are doing some exciting builds at the moment.
Custom engine mounts!

No denying this car is hot :)

FLOL!!! I just have an image of it drifting on fire....
I was going to offer some sort of admiring comment on how well re-made that firewall is, but given the flames it would probably seem like an ill-advised pun, so I won\'t :rolleyes:. Hahaha, step away from the meths bottle, drop the matches, and come out with your hands up :rollin
the polish worker seems to have put monstrous spacers on the front??
are you going for some really wide front wheels or just filling the arches?
So, other than ripping a good rx7 to pieces and setting it on fire....not much happening then? :chat
Spacers just to chech clearence.
And it is wide :)

Good RX7s are hard to find these days!

or are you building something custom?
Quote from: DRAGON;679026Good RX7s are hard to find these days!
Haha....true.
Looking forward to seeing it rock and roll anyway :Thumbs-up

Being used heavily by the new owner, he uses it for drifting and will be driving for us this year in the new car.

Quick update, sorry for the .... pics :)

(http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n3/DRAGONPER/DSCF2227.jpg)
pmsl, Ross, you have a crack in your windscreen mate :)
:Giggle :spank only noticed the crack when i read the next post
Is there any more pictures of this car? Is it finished and out racing?
Made this..
(http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n3/DRAGONPER/DSCF2231.jpg)
This became alittle more sexy, and the build hs become more adverturous, so may actually be going back in time....rather than forward!
(http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n3/DRAGONPER/DSCF2273.jpg)
Hard?
(http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n3/DRAGONPER/att_4.jpg)

Glad to hear its hitting the spot. And your right we have lots more to do, especially with the back end, touring car type of design.
I had a bit of a look around this up there... the back end appeared to be held up by a scissor jack?? Awesome height adjustment tool but not so sure it\'ll work on the go!!
Good work though, looks nuts! :)

Thankyou guys, teh finished article will be somewhat improved :)
Is that front bumper based on someone else\'s or all your own design?
Adam
3 bumpers in one :)
reminds me of a merc amg front bumper but much better,
I really think you should be thinking of producing some if your not already!

Ross
Is it fast as I cant figure this out....would it be a european fastest RX7????? considering that RX MOTORS RX7 is pushing 8.8... I wanna see an RX7 doing 6.6 They way port recons are doing... come on you can do it as welll

wow Dragon man, stunning FD! I like the squareness of the front bumper. where u copying the look of the lambo reventon. lol White and Carbon fiber go very well together.
