Quote from: gmonsen;882379Although I\'m into the lux-touring mode now at age 66, this is the nicest track FD I\'ve seen.  Could you post up some pictures and a summary on the Rx7club site?  I think the guys there would really like to see this!  Love the color.  I have 9 bikes and have always hankered for one of the Green Machines.  The color is the best.

I believe there is a a thread on there Gordon, I think it\'s titled "FD track car bike form the uk" iirc

Good so you on here. How is the car? Did the 3 plugs per rotor workout?

Thanks Gordon, great to hear that kind of feedback.

There IS a thread on there that I set up under the 20B section.

Here is the link

Thanks, my sick friend.  I am cruising through page 2 of your build thread now.  The flocked, re-designed dashboard is great.  What are you going to be racing?  Mostly Enzo\'s?  

Heck, I almost would have re-done the whole hatch and fuel tank just to get that dual exhaust out the back so high up.  There\'s a picture below of my (completely civilized) dual exhaust setup without losing my subwoofer...  

Great build!  :cheers

That looks awesome Gordon, very slick.

If you want it to go where mine is you have to do a ridiculous amount of cutting and fabrication, took about a month
of evening work  :)

He fitted in quite well at the McLaren Tech centre.  :)

Are you thinking you\'ll be at Brands for the TA final?

Was good to meet you at Silverstone, however briefly, but I never did manage to go over and see the car!

Looking and sounding great Dave!
Are you running any kind of filter on that inlet elbow? I am debating what to do on mine. I am not very comfortable with leaving it open.

Sicknote

Hiya fella, thanks for the comments,  just putting a mesh over the intake connecting to the bonnet.

Hows yours coming along buddy ?
