Now I will get this to a man who will help me with wire cutting.
Will do some splines inside to fit the e-shaft. Will do with one spline loss, so it only can fit i one place. Will be better when its time for balancing.

I'm thinking about the drysump.
Does anyone have a clue how much oil-feed a 4-rotor will need? I really havn't desided if I'm going for a custom frontcover with internal oilpump, or a extern drysump-pump. A 2, or 3-stage will do I think.

Any ideas? Would be interesting to discuss :-)

^^Check with Logan (GtoRx7). He's currently finishing up his 4 rotor and I'm sure that he's running a Drysump system.

Some lack of motivation. Thought I would be going mad when the car dropped down on the floor, but thats not what happend.
Yesterday I drawed my new rims in SolidWorks. I really like to just sit there and relax and draw.
I also checked out the weight of the rims. 8.08kg/each aren't bad for 19" I think.

A little adapter as well. I want it as low as possible because the car isn't that wide. And I have long controller-arms. Maybe I will do some new wheelhubs as well

Start with a rotation extrude with the whole wheel in profile and a line in the center. Then Extrude Cut the holes. Done

I dont think they are any harder. Looks like you made it? Start the add-in "Photoview 360".
Google it, and you will see :-)

Today I have continued on the rotors.
Did some roughing on the outer contour. Still 1.25mm left. Will be around 3.9kg when done.

he is going to add bathtubs eventually from the looks of it. look at the pictures of the rotors, you can see the extra material is there to allow for a bathtub.

The bathtub comes last. There is still 1.25mm left on the outer contour as well.
This was just roughing.

Just curious: are these 4 *new* rotors you've made? In addition to the others you made before? Or just putting the final touches on your earlier rotors?

Also: looking forward to seeing additional work on the housings! Will you be doing your own irons also?

Amazing, all of it.

That's super light for 19inch wheels, Magnesium has some advantages in this regard most definitely. Love the BBS style too
