For the new direction of the build the rotary was not practical anymore. Wasn't of the common excuses of power curve, torque, or 'reliability'. It was for mpg at triple digits building for cannonball runs. Stoping for fuel makes you lose.

Decided to go with my new racing brake front bbk instead since they werent selling. Also put on my aragosta coilovers i've had in a corner. Also note SCREW thoose carbon brake ducts that were sold in a small group buy.. they were a few degrees off of flat, towards the rotor could not cut them to work either.. So we 5lb hammered them in hate.

Got my tech2 hood in.... PLENTY of room for the fast 102, but thats not the goal. Eventually going to put a supercharger on it. it appears to give 3 to 4" over stock hood. Whipple 2.9l is ~10.5 in tall, fast 102 is ~7.5....

Mines a wrap, going to get it redone in a darker selection when car is compete.


Dropped her back on the ground with her new aragostas, all solid bushings, and thoose new j-auto lca/trailing rod combo.. jesus we need to spin thoose coils down vs the rx7 they were on. A solid ~700lbs of weight reduction gave use a few inches of raise LOL. The first alignment she recieve is going to be hell for the tech,, there are like 4 places for each type of adjustment lol.

It might help if you flip the upper control arms as they are installed upside down in your pics. That will get you much lower.

Just noticed too dam... mabey we should stop putting stuff together at 3am.. when drinking starts at 9 lol.


Wrap prices very heavily on the installer. It takes finess to do it right. The guy that did mine is top tier he charges 3k+ i believe.
