What a pig of a job!!!!

That sump would be easy to fit on stock rx8

But guiding it between chassis and bellhousing and aligning baffle plate grrrr

If I had £1 for every time that o ring moved out of position I would have had the sump for free.

As this build is the precursor for the Carbon8 is tiny details like I've struggle with that I can design out of the next.

At least the NACA duct will do a sterling job on those sump cooling fins

Do you have a link to that mirror as it may work for me once I get a screen back in the car  ;)

Have a look at the the Longacre Concave long mirror. Bolts to the cage and gives a large wide rear view.
Had in both the westy and 5.
Awesome mirror. No movement or vibration.
