What a Trip to WGT

[Mir]

Hi Guys

Today I went to WGT, firstly to remove the Re Replica Lights off from the car and secondly to discuss the developments on my car. I got there just before 10:50am.

Matt was already there waiting for the lights. I took the lights off and gave them to Matt

As I and Matt were discussing my car, We saw an N Reg, White FD coming out from Pip\'s Dyno room-now what to say, it was owned by Martin (owner of Concept-7.com) known here as "Mart". I must admit that I have seen plenty of FD\'s, but I have never seen such a clean, cromed and beautiful FD. Martin mate your FD is really awesome :mmmm

He did some jaw dropping work on his FD and probably that FD is one of my favourite Fd..:2eek

When Martin left, I went to see Pip. We had a long discussion. Pip is confident that, I only need 1 Bar of Boost not more and he is suggesting that he is hoping for 800 Plus BHP

I don\'t doubt him (Pip) because recently he rebuilt and mapped a Danish FD which produced on point 9 Bar 609BHP. Both of us are running the same fuel system and more a less the same turbo thou I may be wrong as I think he is running GT42 which is bigger than my turbo...

After, we had our top secret dsicussion :Ladys-man, He showed me arround few cars, I saw a four wheel drive FB :2eek, That FB was really awesome and Pip had some serious plans for it. I also saw another triple rotor being built there...

His garage is like a magnet. Once you go there, you dont want to go home, you just want to live there. Its like a rotary haven, where you would find everything regarding rotaries.

Lets hope that my car is back soon, atleast before rotorstock 8. Otherwise I will be gutted..

A big thanks to Pip.

Yes Marts RX7 was a pretty site indeed, took lots of pics and has given me alot of inspiration and Mart was too an interesting bloke.

Hope your car will be back intime for Rotorstock Mir, it was lovely meeting you and no doubt will meet again very soon!

so what kind of porting have you got in the engine now? huge bridge i take it?
 
Im personally hoping that you can beat Craigs twin turbo v8 as that the only comparison we have for rival power, even though i really like Craigs car

keep us updated with how it goes
 
got any pics of said white FD??

Grant,

All I can do is a try. I hate porting, however, I do have porting on the car, but not bridge port. Driving a 20b with a bridge port on a Road/street is just pure unreasonableness and also amounts to nuisance :Nono!

I hope I will be able to keep up with him.....or God\'s willing win from him, but I think that race will be just pure race of the century (at least for me). I have also got plan "B".?

If I don\'t beat him with my current set up, I would have to retire for 1 year and come back with something more special.

Thumbs up to Craig\'s V8 . But, I will try to retain the name of his RX7.:Giggle

Actually I do have the pics of that FD, it belongs to the guy called Martin known as Mart here on MRC.

He showed me some custom made RE Amemiya Replica lights. Well, I just loved the way he made them and his work was truly commendable. He said he would be selling those lights to the FD owners.

Also he had a carbon DUCK Spoiler on the car. Well, what can I say! that spoiler just looked to me as if it was made only for an FD and if you try to mix or match it, it would be spoiled. To top it up, he said he made that spoiler himself :god and would be selling it FD owners.

I wish he had known computers well enough  as he was telling me that he would have to get someone to upload pictures for him.

I think he sold one set of lights to CJR on here.

I will try to upload the pics.

@Karl_Tate, I think he shares the same enthusiasm as you.

Very meticulous individual

ah i see, i know this guy now, lives local to me. he has made quite a few parts for his FD, and will be making more parts in the future

[Mir]

Well then you are living near someone who knows what he is doing, lucky you He was a very friendly man.

Hiya Chris,have you been running std boxes then ? Whats breaking exactly Chris ? - nitmare :2Mad
 Yes decided to pop down wasnt happy with how she was running after the reworx mapping pre-boost.I had the opportunity then to ferry the car there and back on a mates recovery wagon but as she would have to make it under her own steam this time it was a trip to see pip.Anyway he said the fuelling was eratic and calmed it down but it appears, i may have an issue with the wastegate not shutting properly.Wastegates off now cleaned it out, lapped the valve, in and itl go back on tomorrow.Have to check the spring pressure is still ok,fingers crossed.
 Are you going to be on the road for rotorstok Chris ?
