I have been working mostly on the interior and restoring the epsilons... here is some pics... i have new kick panels made and ready to go in. I am in the middle of putting the freshly covered dash pad( which turned out really good). Right now time is my biggest problem(i have none)

Do you get a rub on the foot wells with the back side of the tiree as well? That tire sits out lots!
I ran into that, had to make room both on the foot well and that corner of the fender. I just rolled the edge of the fender away and beat back the foot wells tomake room.
Ugly at best, don't need much room to get a way with it, but remember the movement in the suspension. I would get wheel rub any time I was hard on the brakes and turning hard, not that I ever did that much:-)
Be nice to tuck those in a little, would make things easier. How much room do you have between the tire and the shock?

I think it's because you don't have weight in the front and the suspension are actually not on it's normal possition. When I pulled out my motor and transmission I couldn't turn my wheels, but when I put them back it all normal again.

havent thought of that!!! it would be cool if that fixes it... it has the motor and trans in it but nothing else... it is sitting a little higher than normal... we shall see
BTW, you need to come down for zoom-fest in July and bring that beautiful Rx3!
