Cars for Sale / Wanted: 3 Rotor 20b FD
June 05, 2014, 07:58:01 PM
I know what you mean... owning an FD and just sold a 20B engine that was supposed to go in. Just couldn\'t cope with the idea of investing a sh$tload of money in ECu, transmission conversion etc etc to know that if something breaks the centerplate would set me back another couple grands....

I settled for the idea I wanted something affordable, relatively easy oto rebuild/repair and most of all drive and have fun. (which I haven\'t even managed with my 13b over the last 4 years). As much as I love the FD and rotary, If i would be allowed by Belgian law to drop another motor with 400-450hp in, I would in a hartbeat. On another note...as good as the FD drives (with the 13b) it will never be a match for the Exige platform.

Rotary and General Chit-Chat / new owner
May 14, 2014, 07:16:22 PM
very nice car! quite interested in the AP brake setup.

Most importantly the rotors and hats (partnrs maybe???) as well as the caliper brackets.

What type of calipers are being used? CP5200?

I\'ve been involved in German TUV/KBA and ABE testing in my previous job, so I\'m very aware of what those tests involve (mainly a 2 million tremble test -> hair cracks, impact test and rolling test on a specialized machine)

So in short, wheels tested to those standards are quality approved. JWL is something similar for mainly Asia wheels but not as elaborate as TUV/KBA/ABE.

I find it hard to believe that, figuratively speaking, anyone could pour alloy wheels i his backjard and sell them.

Hello there,



I was talking to a UK alloy wheel manufacturer (Wolfrace) and more importantly if they could provide paperwork/ certification or anything like that (similar to German TUV/KBA/ABE or Japanese JWL) with regards to quality control, axle load etc.

So far they informed me to have none if all and stating in the UK you don\'t need it. Weird...


I could imagine the UK market is to small for a wheel fabricator and they would export to countries that do require some kind of certification/testing.

More importantly as Wolfrace\'s website states to be Rial and Alutec alloy wheel distributors for UK and those are German wheels (incl. certification).


Does anyone have any info on this subject,

thanks

3rd generation RX-7's / Wide body FD kits?
January 11, 2014, 07:02:14 PM
it\'s a combo of feed front fenders, Shine front bumper and.. I think RE rear fenders and a lot of custom work to blend it together

Nissan 370Z front diks are 354,5mm diameter so could be an option as well. They als have multiple upgrades available (slotted, drilled and combo)

I noticed a Hyundai Genesis 3.8 the other day, but I currently don\'t know what Original diameter these have, but they seem to be made by Brembo
