Geez, the 2nd suggestion for a spoiler.

The car needs serious downforce, not an ornament.

So what, your looking at 4-500HP ATW? what revs are you going to run to? Surely thatll be good for 10k+ with the engine spec?

Sounds like its gonna be a tool mate, whens the estimated completion? Are you using it for drift drag or circuit?

Heres a little video i made last weekend to whet your appetite. Car is on stock twins with a few "tricky" Bits

Thanx for the vid, looks like fun...

We hope the engine will put ot 700whp, but have to se on the back pressure with the small exhaust housing on the turbo..


The engine will be good for very high reving...
But have to se where the power are, don`t have to rev 10k+ if the power is at 8k..


The car is ment for the circuit...

Thanx man..

I think the colour will be the orange..
Have done some more welding inside the car no, so I have to paint it one more time..

A friend at the Norwegian mazda forum made the bushing kit..
