Different splines on the clutch and the input shaft..


The top of the car will be orange, the doors black mat, and the rest will be CF

Really nice to see it running, i've read through this entire thread waiting for that.

When you're all finished with your car i'd really like to get this kit made in fiberglass, i'll pay whatever you're asking.

That looks awesome. I've always wanted to get a FB and make it look like the Mazda Grp B works car. When i started looking for the body kit i realized it wasn't going to be something i could just order online and have in a few days. Good thing i found this thread.

that looks pretty cool man, i like the color. this is just my idea, but i think that a black stripe going right down the middle (from hood to tail)wouldn't hurt the looks, but it also looks great without it just a personal idea.

the reason for the slow updates now is beacause its nothing to see that happens at the moment, making the car ready for paint, so nothing to show on pictures, just sanding of the car..
