David, as your car isn't a track car go with whatever wing/spoiler you think looks the best. You will not be driving the car at a level to take advantage of downforce or aero improvements anyway.

 

Lenny that is pretty much what I was thinking. I am not sure my driving skills on track would benefit that much but if a wing would help I would consider putting one on. I really like tvon's wing.

On the news front, no news. I've been so busy haven't had time to call Kilo. Need a video of the car running.

 

I have a brand new feed rep spoiler (the one t-von has) sitting around I may consider selling. While I'm not really a fan of the rear flares, they do work with that spoiler I think a bit better than on a stock bodied car.

May hit you up on that sometime.

Junito1 that won't work for me but thanks for posting. First not sure the design would be track sanctioned for the HPDE events I do as it protrudes quite a bit out from the back. Second the last time I dealt with the developer of that wing taught me never to do it again.

 

Still waiting on video of startup and pics. So, I am this waiting for

 

I have asked Jesus to no return your car until the first week of November.....this way, you can pick up your car and come down to our Rotary meet in South FL.

 

Which year?

 

^ Now isn't that the truth?

Car is really close to being done, maybe you guys in FL can go to Kilo's and put the pressure on him.

Simon, I thought about your event but my week off from school in mid-October. We'll see.

 

tell you what David since I'm such a nice guy I'll drive it to the Miami meet for you!

 

^ If I could then get you to drive it to me in Asheville NC I might take you up on it.

 

Deal.

 

^ Hi Gordon.

1) Some wiring stuff to ensure it's all correct. Kilo redid the OMP wiring yesterday as it was wrong.
2) He was waiting on a waterproof 4 relay module to use to wire up the fans. I think most all other wiring is ready to go.
3) He needs to check and fix the ABS system as the cluster light is on.
4) He needs to check the brakes as it appears the check valve is bad or in backwards.
5) Some bodyshop stuff. Needs to add on tabs to the Shine fenders so we can install OEM fender liners.
6) Asked him to ensure the v-omount setup is properly ducted.
7) Not sure if the AC lines have bee made and run or if the system is recharged.

Other than that, probably some stuff I am missing but he should then be good to go. Hear it will be up and running again this week so we shall see.

 

This may be the way to go. Let me check out what is going on here and then I will get back with you.

I want to be there for the tuning at the very least but am not adverse to sending the car with you to Simon's event and then up here. Car travels better than I do.

 

Mark "threatens" to come to our event every year maybe if you let him drive your car he will actually make it this year.....i wanted to take the REPU out to Seven Stock this year but its on the same day as our Miami meet.....maybe next year????

keep us posted on the date of the tuning...would love to come up and watch

 

I feel like if I show up in the most power car............. and its swapped I would get stabbed. it is miami ya know.


David, if you hate driving it long distances I got a enclosed gooseneck trailer now with makeshift living area in the front. Would be a fun road trip

 

^ I was going to make a smartass comment about it's more than going in a straight line, but then again, as my car never seems to be running, I probably shouldn't throw stones so to speak.

My plan was to trailer the car back anyway so that might work really well. It's about a 9 hour trip from Kilo's to Asheville NC.

 

Hey now, the drag car did make it through the dragon.. without wipers.. almost no headlights.. at night in the rain.

 

stabbing is too personal....they will just shoot you. bring your AK-47 or your AR15 with you and you wont have any problems .

 

So the rumors that you digitized the pics and video are not true? Heard you drove at around 10 MPH and then sped up the video.

Of course this is coming from the guy that can't even go 10 MPH.

 

So is the car going to be ready anytime soon? I don't know how you guys have your cars sitting man, I'd be itching to drive it

 

I hear yes but I have heard that before. Kilo is great and I wouldn't trust the car with anyone else so it's in his hands.

I know what you mean. Have signed up for track events that past two years, only to be left driving the father-in-law's Z4. Really want to get the 3 rotor out to see what it can do.

 

Well, got to hear the engine fire up and have to say, it sounds outstanding. Evil, strong, throaty. Now if I can get Kilo to video it, I'll post it up

In any event, car is running and just a few more things to button up. Kilo is busy redoing the AC lines and is running the low pressure on the opposite side from the turbo. He has a JDM hose for this that routes to the other side.

Estimated ETA is still mid-October, with a delay possible in bringing the car back to Asheville via Simon's event and Ruler Mark's offer.

In the meantime, as I wait, I just redid my center brake section to be all LED, with one continuous strip of light. Will post up some pics soon.

 

nice....good news!

 

I'm sure Kilo is a smart man and bending over backwards to put forth his best work example in your car, being that this is the biggest build thread/audience in RX-7 forum history, even bigger than Jimlab's.
