lol ok will remember your first if i want to sell it,   MX5 skate is parked at the other end of the barn   its to wet out back to use at the moment it just chews the lawn up  and i get ear ache       maybe next year we can have a day out and try the different buggies i have
a rear engine rotary  buggy interests me im going to work on an adapter plate ready for the next project 

so back to rx buggy   what do i need from inside the car to make this buggy run, all i took out were the pedals and steering column   the car came partially stripped and i think theres a fair few black boxes missing   although i did remove most of the wiring loom

   well not much progress this week, a few jobs appeared  so thought it best to earn some money while the chance was there as i can see it being quiet for sometime,


the standard RX8 rear silencer seems to fit ok just need to rotate the tail pipes round 90 deg    all doable



can anyone see any issues with using an lpg bottle as a fuel tank  ?  its robust  and its adding weight  over the back wheels  which i think is good as i can see traction problems ahead   




and oddly enough the original RX 8 bonnet seems to suit it in a strange sort of way

[baloo]

i wasent planning on much in the way of body work   but i found some wheel arches that sort of fitted  and experience has taught me that you need front arches at least .....    the rear wheels will fling mud sure but its the guy behind who's got to deal with it lol ,,  where as with the fronts  it comes your way 




so i think i will have wheel arches




spark plugs look easy enough to get to

Cant see any prob with lpg tank as long as vented. Rx8 uses returnless system at 4bar fuel pressure.

i couldent see a problem either, need to steal an inline  fuel pump of a production car if i can 
  anyone got any suggestions for a suitable capacity one ?

[boosted]

Walbro 255 cheap enough. However...the rx8s fuel pot contain the pump and internal fuel pressure regulator. You really need that or you gonna have to fit an fpr and run a return line.

ok will investigate the  adaptability of the stock pump, its still in the tank which i kept  i discounted it because it dosent look deep enough to reach the bottom of my ( lpg ) tank   not having seen one out of the tank i dont know if i could extend the pickup pipe down another 8 " or so

[boosted]

Yes you can it unclips and you can extend the pick up. Theres a syphon part you can junk. I did similiar in my alloy tank in my westfield.
