I know this isn't an RX7, but this is pretty much our finished product. The last piece was the front air dam/splitter built by Fourway Auto Body. Owner there is a fellow competitor and a trus craftsman! It took a long time but its now safe and ready to go! Photo's by Gumball Photography!

 

Looks great! Rotary or not, gotta give credit when its deserved

 

Thank you, its been a huge project. If you go to my site you will what we started with and what its become! ABR GEARS UP FOR AN EXCITING 2014!

 

Al, good to see your alive & well. Car looks good as well but it is not a rotary good luck with the coming season. What class will you be running in with the new beast?
Hope life been good to you lately.

 

Hey, big cams in a V8, big ports in a Rotary, similar lumpy idle, right?

 

Yup kind of, my PPort idled at 2,000rpm and took till 7500rpm to make HP, the Camaro idles at 900rpm and makes power............................NOW lol

 

lol... my friend and I used to joke that his LT1 idled with more torque than my N/A s4 makes at peak.

 

Those rims go nice on a rotary too Either way nice to see your still playing.

 

Just wait. Someday, when my dorito motor fails, I will be swapping out the keg for either an (cough, cough) LSx motor or a Ford Small Block. You can now build a 454 c.i. Ford small block that builds over 700 hp and 800 lb ft of torque or you can push the easy button and plant the LSx motor in there for a reliable 400+ hp.

In racing HP feels cool, but usually flexibility and torque, while still making decent power, wins the day.

I totally get why Al is excited about racing this car as it will be so much easier to drive and race than his RX7 was and more than likely more reliable.

Good luck this year Al and the car looks great. Best looking splitter setup I have ever seen on one of those chassis.

Thanks Eric! Mike at FourWay did an overthetop job on the air dam, all done by hand and eye, a metal brake and talent!
