I already told you where to get one.

I know and thanks -I have contacted erwin and awaiting a reply but just casting my net as far as possible

This is what my boot looks like now from the inside.


And underneath. Sneak peak of my axle too,


Crap pictures as I\'m using my iPhone but you get the idea. Still got a few clips and aero motive fuel filter to fit but that\'s it.

Little update now.
So this is what happens when you lower the front suspension by 3"


This will be easily solved by either adjustable top mounts or moving the control arm outwards that attaches to the bottom of the suspension strut.
Another shot of the problem

Had a couple of 17" wheels in the shed so thought I would stick them on to see how they look, and also the FD wheels I have are too wide for the front and would need 35mm spacers to clear the suspension however I was planning on only using them for drags wheels anyway so it\'s all good.
I just really like the paint on my car, sometimes it looks black, sometimes it looks dark blue, sometimes in the bright sunshine it looks light blue. Pearl spray jobs are amazing!!





Now a shot of the powwwwwwwer waiting to go in

The FD rims quite suit it , the other ones look a bit modern though . Is there a period looking alloy wheel about for your RX or are you going for the tall 17 inch type wheels ?

[Grant Monkhouse]

I will be going for 16 or 17" depending on fitment as I can\'t go smaller due to putting FD rx7 discs and calipers on it.

Only period wheels that may suit are mini lite\'s but I\'m not a fan. Unless its a mini. I want wheels with dish on them though.

[600gaz]

Image wheels do some nice split rims in taller sizes , i reckon those gold BBS criss-cross style ones would look good (like on the old E30 bmw M3 touring cars etc) :cool

[Grant Monkhouse]

Link please. Split rims are gooood!

[600gaz]

Have a look here , lots of great wheels too choose from . :yes

as my engine stands now,

 
the sump is getting sorted as we speak, as i am using a combination of FD housing and FC plates, FD front cover, etc i have to make one sump out of 2, an FC and an FD sump to get it to fit right. I am using the centre mounts of the FC plates as a front mount like the rx4 used to be just isnt good enough for 500HP
 
I have also tried to bolt the turbo to the engine but the exhaust housing hits the inlet manifol no problem though as i wanted to change the flange on the turbo manifol to a proper T4 flange as for some reason they put a flange with larger diameter openings on them and flare out the tube??!! very silly.

What LIM (inlet manifold) are you using? can you use the FD Manifolds upper and lower and port them to suit your FC plates?
