Sorry, must've read over your post. The cf brake ducts were made by a forum member a couple years back. Unfortunately the fitment of them wasn't all that great and I have since sold them. I will be fabbing up a set out of aluminum once I get the car back.

The ducts were a copy of ones made my ap racing back in the day. And as for my future material choice, I'm confident I can make a nice set from aluminum. I haven't done much fg or cf work beside some ghetto boat repair so I'll stick with what I'm comfortable with. I'm most likely going to make them just to be able to attach a hose leading to proper ducts from the front end.

I hear ya, I was just busting your chops. Aluminum might be more durable in the long run anyway.

Also kicking around using the "socks" over them , but word from a few friends who have itb setups (Hondas) say they are usually restrictive. But we'll see as I'll probably try a few different things. I'm sure Logan may chime in with his thoughts, and I know he had used those screen mesh filters in other projects so I'm sure he can lead you to where to source those.
thanks for the info, i ended up fabricating some mesh filters myself. good luck and keep us updated on your build

^Nice, thanks David!

On my report, Logan says the drysump bracket and accessory setup is being worked on now. He says its been pretty hectic there lately, with some personal things that have happened recently and they are now in the process of moving the shop. But, progress is being made and he anticipates it running on its own power very soon. Cant wait!

#5 (although not really withdrawal as none of my RX-7 have ever ran for any real duration)... I guess this thread is going to turn to a support group...

^ Jerk! There is always that one guy that is actually driving his 20B

On a serious note, glad to see you are on the road Simon. Got everything sorted out?

A get together needs to be planned. I'm thinking in the fall so everyone has plenty of time to finish up and fine tune. A year ago we did the Virginia International Raceway meet and it was a blast so maybe we can plan something like that. I know the REPU is not a track car, but could be fun to take it out on a closed track so you can go whatever speed you want.

Another option is to do something here in the Asheville NC area. We do have the Tail of the Dragon which would be a ton of fun for everyone. Could set up a low key event in the fall for that.

What do you guys think? Any takers?

Made a trip out to Defined Autoworks today to chat with Logan about things and see how its progressing. They have been very busy with the shop relocation, so unfortunately not too much else to really share as of now. Did snap a few pictures. Drysump pump is mounted but not plumbed. Bracket has been machined for the alternator, and lower radiator line and clamps have been fabbed. Sorry for the low quality pics. Hopefully now that they are about back up and running there will be some good progress very shortly.
