Yes please send Kerebrus the molds for the inner door cards. I would love a set of those on my car.

Looks and sounds good. Sounds like you might have an exhaust leak?

I thought the same my self, but after I've checked, it turns out to come from the pipes in the manifold.. |

I'm not kidding when i say that you can look through them if you hold them up to the light. One layer of CF is thin.. |
Have you had the car weighed? It would be interesting to see how many pounds you've shaved.
|

|
Jizzed.. in my pants.

Dude, the car has really came along. Congratulations on a bad ass ride.

The weight is 1100kg. I'm quite satisfied with this weight, if your'e thinkin' about the extra rotor/ rotor housing.. the turbo and accesories to it. The subframe from the Rx7 turbo II. The bigger brakes. Drivetrain is more heavy than original, to be able to handle the 20b.. But sure, wouldn't been any problem shaving of more weight either, but then the car starts to be unsafe, things will start braking due to material fatique etc... |
This car looks sweet.
Amassing body and color :icon_tup: |

Oh I know how thin 1 layer is ... doesn't do much at all besides hold its shape. One thing you could consider though is just reinforcing the bottom edge. I did that with my fiberglass bumper and has taken alot of abuse and no cracking in there just scuffs

Man, I haven't checked out this thread since early '08 (back when you painted the inside of the chassis and made the first molds of the fenders), and I have to say this car has come a long way! Great job, and it looks amazing! :icon_tup:

I was on a completely different forum (not related to RX7s) and a guy posted a photo-thread from a drift event, and as I scrolled down, I saw this!
Attachment 704353 So I figured I'd post it up. Any updates on the car? |
