I really like the teaser pic, but the wheels just gotta go. Wheels make it look like a show car from F&F. Go w/something more sporty like Rays or the newer Advans!

A few shots of the diffuser now in place. Extends to the centerline of the rear wheel, where it will tie into the undertray. The wider rear fenders will tie into the sides nicely, so the diffuser wont be as pronounced as it appears to be. The rear deck lid wing element (not yet shown) will also balance it out vertically.

I haven't said anything derogatory in quite some time, sir. That diffuser is pretty tempting though.

Nice Build. I love everything about it. Im quite the opposite on what Barban had to say about your project. Y would you have anything negative to say about someone else's project car? I just don't get it. If anything it should be encouragement. Maybe some don't want to look like every other rx7 on the street. It's nice to see someone doing a build like this. It should look downright fast and mean when you are done with it, I'm sure.

bajebus. this shit is BANANAS. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

A few pics from the past year.... These do not tell nor show the whole story. They are merely a few shots of what has been going on. The bodywork and diffuser have been trimmed up and modified quite a bit since these pics... these only show the raw state, so obviously it looks a bit crude. If all goes well this should be finished up sometime this summer. Fiberglass in a huge PITA.
Shorn... no body work http://usera.ImageCave.com/Jdmfantasy/2121.JPG One side with rear fenders, one without. The exhaust will not protrude as it does here. http://usera.ImageCave.com/Jdmfantas..._6102684_n.jpg New front end. 9" longer, improved aro. Ducts and headlights not yet in place. Intercooler has been replaced. http://usera.ImageCave.com/Jdmfantas...394fed81_z.jpg Rear fenders, 8.5" wider in the rear. http://usera.ImageCave.com/Jdmfantas...b472f475_z.jpg Rear quarter shot, new fenders untrimmed. Cage installed, vents etc. not yet in place. http://usera.ImageCave.com/Jdmfantas...2736b0b7_z.jpg |
WoW, crazy build. Not my cup of tea but very unique indeed, more power to you.:icon_tup:
|

|
How are you supporting that bodywork? How thick is the glass?

Crazy build man. So is this going to be a street car or pure track car?
|
WoW that fu...ing cool.....
|
Thanks guys. This will see a little bit of both... It will be street driven on the weekends here and there, However the plan for the car is to compete in the Texas Mile, hence all the attention given to aero, as well as the power.

Glass is between .125" and 0.25" depending on the area. All seams are supported by original bodywork (door sills, hood perimieter etc.), aluminum bracing, or tied into the floor pan. As soon as it warms up a bit we can finish this crap up.

A few pics of the new turbo manifold. This will position the turbo for much shorter/gradual IC piping.
