RX7 progress pictures.

Yer looking at turbo later in the year, but still lots of work to be done yet.

[James H]

Right as process on the car is slowly but surely coming a long after some help .... what you guys think, spoiler or no spoiler, different spoiler or shorten the one pictured opions please, many thanks James??

[James H]

Also before anyone mentions it, spacers for the rears are being put on today, if they arrive (:

I\'d say deffo get rid of that BGW. It just looks to modern for the rest of the car imo. Personally i\'d go spoiler-less on the back then get one of these http://www.irishrotary.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=25306#25306
Also with that body kit id got for wide front and rear arches.

Hows the engine going anyway, sorted out the ecu problems yet?

[James H]

Cheers for the feedback & the link nice little add on but bit too pricey for me, yer spoiler-less is def growing on me. Engine is ok still waiting on RE-Worx to sort out some way of controlling the 3rd flap but they are very busy at the mo so expecting to wait even longer, which is bit rubbish. Not really interested in the bigger arches bodykit was bad enough state & still causing me more agro but happy with the overall look for now.

[dthebuk]

yea ive heard quite  few negatives with the fitment of that kit.

hmm have you though about just wiring one of the ports open so you dont have to control as many. You may lose some low down torque but you\'ll still have normal rx8 powers later on in the rev range

[James H]

Big thanks RepliKit thats all i\'ll say. Yer think thats the route we are gonna take, have it closed then use a shift light to open her at a certain rev point!

[mukumu kurubushi]

Im really liking the BGW there

[James H]

Cheers mate, thats one for the wing!

[L18M]

i quite like the big chicken wing on the rear. but thats jus my opinion.
if u have that wing already then i\'d be interesteed to take it off your hands if u go spoilerless ^^

[vonrumble]

did it take much modding/mauling to get the rx8 lump to fit? how have you spent on the conversion so far?

[James H]

Yer still have the wing if i do consider to sell you can have 1st dibs.

Nah not real amount of work went into it the fitting or tuning, costs were

2006 230 RX8 engine & gearbox at 30k £1000 (thats very cheap)
MoTech M2R ECU £900
ReWorx labour £700
Exhaust system £200
Extras etc £200

[dthebuk]

daaaam. Such a shame you spent nearly a grand on the ecu and it doesn\'t do enough stuff! good luck with getting it to work

Here are some update pics, now have the kit on but still needs work & some straightening up to be done to the front bumper & then finally sprayed, spacers to go on the rears tomor, sunroof to be replaced soon, not forgetting the final tune once they ahve sorted me a out a shift light setup for my 3rd flap, gonna loose the spoiler as think its too much for the car anyway feedback more than welcome.
