Been working on my racer

I have been working on my RX 7. I fabricated a front and rear spoiler and I fabricated and intake manifold for my Weber 44DIF and a stainless header and 3" exhaust pipe.

It has Ground control system and Tokico shocks, struts, springs and sway bars. The brakes have stock rotors with Hank black pads.

I see that you are keeping the modifications within the ITA/IT7 rules! Race car looks great!

Thanks. I race the car under NCRC. They have track day events and also a race division. I am 65 and it is fun just to design parts and then see if they work like I thought they would. If not see if I can figure out how to make them better. I finished the front airdam and splitter and attached this photo. I plan to race the car in the NCRC event at Thunderhill raceway in Willows California a 3.1 mile track. I ran the car there 2011 and 12 didn't race it 2013 using the time to build it up to go a lot faster.
