So here they are, tyre porn, 18x13JJ Fronts running 295/30 ZR18 and 18x15JJ Rears running 335/30 ZR18. Check out the Fuel Rating, Handling Rating and DB Level :) Found out they are for the Lamborghini Murcielago, never seen 4 wheels wider than a car before ;) Massive thank you to Midwest Tyres Limerick.

I don't understand modern day wheel fitment, but man that is alot of tire...

Ya its a bit mad...

I need a bigger garage, so I needed the RX8 wheels off the RX7 for another car, weak excuse but I got to fit the Meisters, I need to make the kit wider, let me know what you think :)

Good lord this is turning out just beautifully 😍

Thank you fella, its been a long time coming but the end is in sight thank god !

Rims on Rims on Rims!

I love the RB25 swap, I was going to do the same thing because of all my background with that engine but decided to leave it rotary. Do you have more info on the swap? Did you make the mounts and how does it fit? Any reason you stuck with eBay manifold and did not have a custom one made so you wouldnt have had to hack up the hood?

Hey fella, the firment was a challenge but yes all custom mounts, then the exhaust crossover and spaced the steering rack to compensate. There are no shops making up custom manifolds here in Ireland so it was a case of chop to fit, I actually want the hole in the bonnet but I will reduce the size so its a neat fit :)

Not much of an update I'm afraid, flat out with both jobs atm however I did manage to get myself a Nardi Personal in black with red stitching and a some Brides :) A reclinable Bride Brix 2 for the queen and Bride Zeta 3 (Sparkle Back) for me, I hope to start the bodywork on this next week as I have to have the car done for the first weekend in July so no pressure at all :)

Welcome :icon_tup:


So I got the bits to prep the quarters and bond them on so it was time to pull the car out of the garage and strip her down to build it back up, gonna be a fun few weeks but at least I will be making progress I suppose.

I am happy to announce that Team Chihuahua will be rocking a full Rocket Bunny tra_kyoto kit, diffuser and led set for its revised look, so not only will it have an RB Engine but an RB kit not too, the monster Meisters in 18x13jj front and 18x15jj rear with some nice red brides holding me tight :) Big thanks to Dave fromJDMDistro let the countdown begin ;) I'm looking forward to cutting it up and making it wider :)

Haven't updated this in a while, container landed yesterday with the Rocket Bunny Kit, just have to sort some time to collect it, the Bride Seat rails also landed in, have a few small bits left to order but we are getting there so for now here is a pic of the car being dropped off to Stone Motorsport where we will test fit the kit before it goes for paint :)

Attachment 618762

And its landed, happy days, big thank you to JDM Distro who took care of everything for me :)

Attachment 618676

I have to say the kit was worth every cent, quality and fit is factory
Attachment 618172

Got the optional LED kit and LED recessed front bumper
Attachment 618173

The spoiler everyone wants for their RX7, again fit is just perfect
Attachment 618174

Got dish ?
Attachment 618175

The offset wasn't negative enough so we swapped the centres from front to rear and she sits much better now ;)
Attachment 618176

Car only arrived 2hrs ago and Mark is already stuck in, cant wait to see the outcome :)
Attachment 618177

Within no time, Mark had the bonnet stripped and started levelling it out :
Attachment 617966

In the mean time I went off and sourced to standard wings and dug out the rear bumper :
Attachment 617967

Dropped them off and it was nice to see Mark Snr.'s RB26 SB15 and Mark Jnr.'s BMW drift car :
Attachment 617968

Doesnt look too bad at the thread pattern for the over fenders but when you look at the wheel itself you can how wide it really is :

Finally sorted a petrol cap and it had to come from the UK ffs :)

MG Crash Repairs have started on the kit, sanding it down and getting ready for primer, quality of the kit is the best I have ever seen or owned.

And then straight into the body, very happy with the progress and will make sure to keep yee posted, expect to have the car finished this month ;)
Attachment 616887

nice, this thing is going to be wild

Thank you Johnny, appreciate the reply :)

Picked up a sleek headlight kit today and the rear bins vertical section for the interior, this car is almost fully done parts wise :)

Attachment 616832

Dropped into MG Crash Repairs yesterday to check up on the car and Mark is making good progress, thankfully he is as fussy as me so that should make a great build :)

This is without a doubt my favourite pic, showing my son Reese how the car was being put together :)

So I will try to keep regular updates coming as the car is coming along now, Mark has prep'd the standard quarters so if someone sneaks a look under the arch its still clean and tidy looking. The standard front wing have been fitted to be cut, the passenger one has a little damage so that is being repaired also but so far so good and the car is starting to take shape :)

More updates to come, after paint the wheels need to be refurbished, brides fitted, engine mapped and then the test spin :)

So Mark has been hard at it, I had to get rough second hand wings as they were the only ones available, he has been repairing the sections that are being kept and working on the shut lines to the best possible outcome given the choice of paint we are going with.

He has also gone OCD on the quarters both on the outside and on the inside :D
Attachment 613081
Attachment 613082

We also remove the factory aerial and thats all welded up now too so we are in good shape for primer.
