Very nice:) is the rear subframe tied into the roll cage? Also the gear box? That way you don\'t need the crappy ppf from the fd:D;)

[re japi]

Rear subframe is welded in to cars chassis.
Engine and gearbox have not been fitted yet. They will need custom frames too. Engine and gearbox will move 30cm back, so at this point it´s kind of impossible to say how they will be fitted. When engine arrives, it will be bolted to gearbox and start measuring. And start cutting floor, tunnel and firewall.

And little update on rallycross rules too:

No Slicks allowed! So everyone has to use onetype street tires. We are not sure how the h**l that car is coing to get all the power down to track...

Just curious, why is that ppf crappy?

And little edit to my posts:
Original rear diff subframe is bolted to another custom made frame, wich is welded to chassis.

And new rule Slicks are Kumho semi-slicks. Before all kind of full slicks were allowed...

[Grant Monkhouse]

Its just better and easier to avoid using it, the pods crack and all sorts. Solid mount the heat box to chassis, also strap the diff up, this is what I would do.

Ladies and gentlemen, moron who wrote that previus message is my brother, owner of those two RX-7 in this thread.

Reason of that message was to test can he post to threads in MRC forum.

Updates on car: Rollgage is finished. He started to cut the floor. And now he is fitting radiator to boot

Today we went to visit SRT (Sarlin Race Team). He sells racing equipment and stuff. He used to drive Fia GT kind of series with very very fast and beutiful, custom made Ford Escort Cosworth.

"Thing" just got my attention. Original -01 WRC Focus. Sainz used todrive that thing. Then it was rolled here in Finland few years ago. Now, fully restored.

Then is that Alcon brakes. Aluminium, solid lump. Just work of art! Amazing. Cost, around 6000â,¬!
