haha you brits sure have a strange sense of style.

even without the license plates or seeing your Location info next to your post, i think i would have been able to guess this car was built in the UK.

definitely not a fan of that front end, fenders, or the spoiler mounts, but i love the engine bay.

Thanks guys.

Strange sense of style?! Do you mean adding FRP and not just sticking to the stock body lines? Not trying to have a dig or anything just curious

I will try and find some vids soon

Nice car-nice engineWhat capacity has the injectors? There is 6 of them aren't it? Are you using cathalyst? Is the engine sensitive to ignition timig eg 20-22L. I have built some 20B engines with turbo and one 20B PP for a customer Tommy at www.tsmotor.com. Look at "racing" Mazda 3 rotor.He has a RX-7 FC Mazda team Europe racing car that should be race ready this summerNice to see and hear more 3 rotors N/A PP engines on track

wow!

so much build goodness, where does one begin? i think the high points for me are the intake and oiling system. i mean, don't get me wrong, the entire car is beautiful and brings aesthetics to function, but that dry sump system and those throttles and runners are breathtaking to me.

would love to see this car run against GtoRx7's car when it's complete, but i know it probably won't happen.

cheers. you deserve it.

Hi, if you make it to some of the shows this year you will, I will run some Time Attack and TOTB as comps too.

1st off the craftmans ship of the entire build is top notch. Kudos for moving the engine back and keeping it low. I also love your ingenious engine mount placement. Mounting the engine near it's center of rotation helps keep the drivetrain from torque twisting so much while still using soft mounts. The dry sump system is nuts. I take it the billet front cover was designed specifically for the dry sump? Was this a cheaper option than going with the Mazda front? Also curious as to why you didn't enginner the header with a merge collector & megaphone? You may be losing some of your top end there.

Thanks for the prop's

Yes the front cover is a one off for me and the cost was much cheaper than the factory dry sump aswell as keeping weight off the front of the motor.

The mainfold is something we are looking into again, it may well be cut and modded later in the year.

Yall should put that front cover into production. I'm considering doing drysump myself but dont want to spend that kind of money on the Mazda unit.

Cool. I see it's been designed to more easily clear the rack vs the more protruding Mazda unit. It would suit me since my 20b sits in the same location as yours does.

+1

You could probably organize a group buy and get a few folks interested to make it more worthwhile.
