All great things have a beginning

I put the dash "spine/skeleton" back in as it's been moved so many times out of my way it was starting to annoy me. And then put the dash panel back on. All held in with just 10 screws instead of the 6,347 I took out to get it out in the first place

Glad I kept the spine as the dash would have been all floppy and looked crap

Have thrown my switch panel in too to see what it looked like, although there's probably only going to be the starter and water pump on the switch panel, I will have to think of some other stuff to use the switches for?? Arming nitrous maybe

Purchased on the 24th of May, delivered on 2nd of July...

Good old parcelfarce.

Had to track down the parcel, speak to different people to get the custom charge number because they hadn't sent me one in the post, ring up and try pay the charge 3 times but the automated phone service doesn't work.

Tried paying online 5 times until it went through.

Paid for delivery to be delivered last Saturday for an extra £12. Didn't turn up.

Rang them again Wednesday at parcel farce, who then messaged the Rotherham depot where it has been for nearly a month to get them to deliver it....

Taken longer to deliver it 40 miles than it did to travel from the US to the UK

He ya go. Its quite a decent little thing. Think it might have been 100 quid when I bought it

Doesn't come with fuses, or if it did iv lost them

I remember mainly getting it because it has the push button to start

I don't know, when he crashed it was down to one of the bolts on a brake caliper falling out and the caliper falling off from what I can remember. Not too long after that I stopped going on fduk

Well because I can't weld and don't have a tig welder, tape will have to do...

But at least I've got the bits cut ready to be glued together. Going to ring my friend to come do it when he can

Having a quick look under the car to figure out how to get the fuel tank out.. Looks like one tank? The rx8 have 2 smaller ones don't they that feed each other?

Be interesting to see how much weight will be save going from the stock one to a 3 gallon race cell

Can anyone explain why the rear ARB is so tiny

For me to get the IRS to work and go straight on the drag strip it's going to need some beefy ARB literally an inch thick but by the looks of it won't be too difficult to get it to work with where the ARB sit currently

Grant, real puzzled by the post because when going in a straght line the anti roll bar does nothing, it just goes up n down with the suspension
