cheers

 

This is awesome news. I hope things continue to improve for you. Can't wait until your taking new orders, my cluster hood isn't long for this world.

Great to hear - hope the new place will end up being an ideal set up as you're getting to build everything to your own spec. Are you planning on taking new orders after everything is up and running?

 

The sold out items on the site, ever going to be made again or special order?

 

Sorry, if the parts are not available on the site, either they are midway through a revision phase or I am too busy to take them on. of course certain situations I will make exceptions. please dont overwhelm me with messages begging for certain things though!.

Shop and House Update:
The house is nearly there, the interior is nearly trimmed out and ready for kitchen and then floor and of course paint, maybe 2-3 weeks before we are looking at moving in...

the shop has been slowly progressing, as I am trying to balance the business, parts, house along with of course having a family life and all the shut downs due to the pandemic!
we are very excited to finally be moved in, and that will help progress my speed and efficiency with parts as well. as I currently have to travel and heat the shop every time to work on things.

 

Heres some of my latest clusters. these last couple months have been crazy with cluster orders. and I have really refined the process and part itself with a ton of improvements. I love the amount of support, and hope everyone has been pleased with the parts!


The shop is coming together, but still has a long way to go. I have had a stack of sheetrock and stuff to finish the interior for some time, but no help or time to do so.




I developed a crazy amount of new parts and just haven't shown them here. I should really make a post highlighting each part.
For instance, now not only do I offer an OEM upper column shroud for LHD and RHD, I now offer the lower column shroud. |
It incorporates replaceable clips and of course spots for the alignment pins and keyhole light.

 

Okay. I like this. Any idea what all the gauges are in this? And those four little dots hanging out over there?

 

Nice looking shop! Having a lift in the shop is

 

Do you make inner door triangles for tweeters? Sucks to cut the door panel.

 

I was thinking the small stuff like the iPhone mount and or off mount and both we listed as sold out. Take care of the house and shop first but if and when you have time, I’ll grab both when you can make them again.

 

yeah brother, actually someone paid me to do this under commission but he has yet to send me the tweeters so i can get started (have the part scanned and ready for CAD)
Let me message him and see when he can send them

cheers

scan of the Door triangle

backside. pretty simple part. maybe ill start lol

 

Shane, are you in the metrology business, or did you just purchase a laser scanner.
BTW, I installed the 52mm column pod. Excellent fit and finish!

 

welcome fellow Mainer

 

Wooo, when are the raptor parts coming ?
I could use some pillars with 3” mids and 1” tweeters molded in !

 

Hellooo, New member, long time RotorHead here.

I am very interested in the custom fabricated Dash Vent.

also interested if Anyone has an original for sale or know of one to be sold ?

Are the custom vents still for sale ?

I am in South Australia and would like to purchase one.

thanks

 

Hey brother, I haven’t updated this stuff in awhile, but needless to say, our house and shop are done and we have been working on some new products.

I finished the replacement vents, check them out here:

I have sold quite a few and for a cheap fix, it works decently.

any other questions let me know

any plans to make more a pillar gauges? maybe a straight plain one?

my car came with a single gauge screwed in. i'd like to be able to switch it out to plain or rock some gauges

 

figure some people don’t really do social media, but I have been working diligently on the Map Pocket Box assembly and a new Map Lid. I’m going to be organizing a pre order sale in the coming days.
best way to stay up to date is to follow @Draklore on IG. But you can also check out the new projects I’ve completed for the FD on my website www.draklore.com

 

here are some random photos of other recent projects for the FD Rx7.
mom starting to branch more into the R32 and other platforms recently, but I am still pretty dedicated to the Rx7 parts development. Leave any questions or comments.


Sneak peak of the completed assembly in prototyping

This is one of the first prototypes.

I just released these Center Vent Haltech IC7 mounts! Very complex and they were quite the challenge

Now offering oem and tweeter door triangles. These came out nice.

Very clean install with my new tweeter mounts

 

Thanks for continuing to make products for the fd3s! Im drooling over your clusters and really want a LHD cluster for my Haltech ic7 display. Any eta or anything on those?

 

Every planning to reboot gauge hoods and clusters or are they just not viable as a repeatable/supportable product/too much headache?

 

restored my hope in humanity seeing somebody gets it, nice work too.

please buy an RX8 🙏 lol

.

 

I'm with dguy, would love to see gauge hoods and clusters again someday.

Also, maybe I missed it, but have you made the door panel plastics at any point?

 

Also, I love that map pocket, and pretty much everything else too lol.
