you could do that but it wont be the same.
It's called a slit spoiler, google it. |
Picked up my new car trailer.

Okay, little write up.
First off, thank you to all the dudes who came out for moral support/pit crew tonight, you're the best, I love you guys and I appreciate it alot. Night started off pretty average when the wideband started playing up. We decided to pull it out and re calibrate it. Bingo, it worked! We headed over to pan, Ian fiddled with his laptop and worked on the accel enrichments. Headed onto pan with autotune running, sounded like a bag of dicks at first but started to clear up. Felt really nice to slide, power was great. About 2 minutes Ian quickly points out that my temp gauge has sky rocketed so we quickly duck off driving around the carpark doing cool down laps. Ended up hitting 130 degrees and just wouldn't come down, stalled on me, wouldn't start, someone yelled no compression then it started. 13bt won this round Went back to the pits, let it cool down for ages, topped up the coolant, started it, wideband was playing up again. This time we just left it, it skidded fine as it was and we headed onto big track. First lap was sketchy, thought I was going to plow the wall on T3 but saved it. Grabbed 3rd around T6 and it did it with ease. Temps shot up severely again and by this stage we had no bonnet on, ran back to pits, boiled over, shot overflow lid off and was firing steam and water everywhere. We let it cool again and started filling it with coolant, was still hot and was just pumping out the most disgusting water I have ever laid my eyes on. At this point, we removed the Tstat, gutted it, Ian, Zach, Lachlan and Neil made a new gasket out of a manilla folder I had in the car. It also melted the vac line for the gate so had to fix that aswell. With everything back together we headed back out, by this time it was around 9:00 and was the final runs, we got 2 runs in, 1st run was BADASS. Ended into T3 in 3rd, handbrake, dumped 3rd and skidded soooo easy, managed to hold it together for the whole track and pumped out a solid run. Felt really nice to drive, no issues with suspension or driveline so thats a huge plus I suppose. Got one video of it on Pan for the first run, we were running auto tune just starting on the fuel map. I know Lachlan has some photos or something as well. so pretty much - Replace Radiator Genuine Thermostat MAYBE spal fan check wiring (earths mainly for the moment) Replace gate line with something more durable/heatproof |

Best weekend I have had to date.
Matsuri 2013, IT WAS SO WILD. Car drove so damn well. Drove on saturday for around 11 hours without a single hiccup, so many fist pumps and hand signals to cool dudes! it was the greatest weekend I have seriously ever ever had. We had friends fly up from the down south to come up so was badass. Running around 5/6psi of boost now with a Front mount and it's plenty enough power. Still slow enough to have to clutch kick, but enough power to get up on limiter in 3rd gear. Car steered fantastic, coilovers are awesome (even though it's stupidly stiff). I lost all my rear aero after tearing it off from blowing a tire and put a big hole in my underspoiler from it dragging everywhere (yeah, im that low LOL). Anyway, he's a big dump of photos and videos.

find a spoiler off a car at the junkyard, go to the rx7 section, see if it fits upside down across the bumper, repeat until you find one you like, its pretty simple

This thread is awesome. Good to see you going na!

looks you have a bad ass set up man. mad props on ur first gen. i would love to see a pics of how your front suspension is mounted up with that coil over set up. what did you do to the knuckles to get more angle? what are you doing with your sway bars is the rear still deleted? iv been having some great skid pad action down here locally and really trying to get more out of my gslse at the sonoma C.A. drift nights.

Still looks super rad, way to keep a car longer than 6 months.
