loving that more and more, each time I see it !!
nice one mate

350bhp in a light car is rapped - I think people on here forget how fast that is compared to most cars on the road. Yes 450bhp is easy to get to but there is already not much on the road that can touch the RX.
 
I\'m looking for similar power as, its drivable and can be used every day :-)

thats my take on it, a ferrari 360 has 400 horses so in that context 350 is fine IMHO

The Ferrari is 400bhp and 1380kg
and the RX7 is 1160kg - i think 350bhp in an RX would be faster power to weight!!

cheers for that mate, I hadnt worked it out yet but am really looking forward to cranking it round the mountain now

I think the ferrari is 289.8bhp/ton and your RX is 301.7bhp/ton - so the RX wins lol!!

i wonder how much mine weighs, I lost the front wings, front end, back end, bonnet and boot and changed for FRP so it should be lighter than a normal one
 
what spec is yours?

[Paul1982]

very similar to yours mate - but it needs a remap etc so Carl at Haywards is going to need to work his magic lol. hopefully pull 300rwhp but i\'d be happy with 280+rwhp as mine hasnt had a rebuild (from what i know of)

[XMN]

cool, like you said b4, at that power its usable every day:) and still a very fast car

[Mims]

Nahhh i dont think so, its not my style of driving
 
in a word no they dont, due to the issues with mine, cobra dont recomend them for the rex. mine was the prototype for the sub frames. you can get them in but you need to mod the door cards etc
 
Pip dyno\'d it at a little under 350, that will do for now

Good power that dude! How much modding was needed to the door cards?

Will you be going to the jurby airfield trackday at isle of man? Would absolutley luuuuurve to see this!!!

needed to cut out a fair chunk out of the door and the card othewise it was too tight and the seat would not move backwards and forwards, see pics

tell you what, thats one of my wishes too, this project has been such a pain with everything going wrong and taking much longer with it being like a one off its unbelievable. even today with the ICE install parts of the fitting kit for the composites are missing, and guess what they are the bits we need to use......... typical lol
 
in short no, its unlikely to be back on the island before then

[Kruizer]

Awesome project, credit where its due, your doing an amazing job on her !
