Loom - got 2 of them
injectors - just primary so far
brap brap...ha ha
If your following clives build - unless there’s another way to do it ?
rx8 loom..electric throttle. - this is where I’ll need to learn a lot of using the RX8 throttle body
Rx8 pcm with a piggy back adaptronic for boost...- I have the new modular one so will need to find out what special stuff that can do compared to the piggy back one
nice throttle control and idle. Rx8 dash will work then etc...
Thats how id do it!- just like that lol

Done my final bit of aero on my track car before I get the other one up to start the swap
Diffuser - took about 60 hours in total
20 of them was me getting up and down from the floor . If this virus doesn’t kill the economy I’ll be lifting my garage roof 3 foot to fit a 2 poster

Looking at some photography from the last track day I done it seems I have bent the front splitter up in the middle whilst loading it on the trailer

If you zoom in it’s pretty clear
Whipped the bumper off and found the culprit - a bent metal hanger
Time to invest in some caravan ramps to put under the rear wheels of the van to make the loading angle of the trailer better .
It’ll be touch and go weather I need to trim the back of the diffuser slightly too
Got a car to strip in next few days then it’ll be time to start the build
Can’t wait , but also am feeling quite nervous as I don’t know a lot yet . reading about it is one thing - putting it together - totally different

Looks impressive, I’d be interested to know if all the mods have made a noticeable difference
