Are you able to mount the drivers seat in the stock location with that pedal box? What model is it? Just started a similar project ... about 12 months (on my timing) behind you. Thanks

 

Nice job, keep up the good work! What did you make the sunroof replacement panel out of? How is it held in place? Any close up pics? I'm looking to get rid of my roof and trying to get some ideas. tia-Garrett

 

gut welded tabs all the way around the top about 3 inches apart. then the plexiglass rest on there and is bolted. looks like a glass sinroof when bolted.

 

Your project is amazing. It must be really nice to have a body-in-white to work with. I'd love to strip mine down completely and have a clean slate to work on.

 

Here are the pics of the Housings finished with the P-Port sleeve installed and ported along with the exaust port timing done and matched to a Factory Mazda Race Housing. Templates Priovided By CLR Motorsports. As far as progress. the side plates have been lapped and painted as well and all that needs to be done now is some clearance grinding on the rx8 rotors and some other mods and this engine is ready for Stacking. According to the engine bulider (CLR Motorsports) this may be finished by Early January 2007.

 

Now THAT is what I call an intake port! Damn

 

AHHH! Photo bucket is blocked at work, hopefully I can get a wireless connection tonight so I can see the pics.

 

I could fit my hand thru those ports it'll have to idle at like 2 grand right. I've heard some people have peri ported street cars. SIck man

 

You're not kiddin', that's some crazy ****, haha. BEAUTIFUL!

 

BEAUTIFUL! he's gonna go deaf

 

mad skills!

 

Looks like your going all out on this project, it looks great.

 

The car and workmanship are unbelievable....GREAT JOB, keep it up!!!

 

This has to be one of the cleanest builds Ive seen in a long time

 

FInally got to look at the pics last night, your car is turning out to be, amazing!

 

I finally got the car to my friends shop Yesterday and after a full days work, finished mounting the Radiator and 2 oil coolers. There is a Local Race Series that will be held here at Homestead that will start with the first race on May 17th. Im shooting to have the car done by then. Monday i will be completing the brake lines and mounting the Brake fluid Resiviors.

 

Oh and if anyone is interested, here is the website to the new Homestead Series.

Nice work, looks really slick.

 

What kind of oil coolers did you use? Was it a complete kit or did you fabricate the brackets and lines yourself? I'm trying to figure out which route to take. Thanks in advance.

Your car looks amazing .

 

Where are you going to pull cold air? Hood vent?

-ch

 

as for the oil coolers, they are 2x 34 row oil coolers from earls. My friend makes the brackets and will hang them up, i will run the plumbing for them. we will design an airdam to completly catch all the air up the center and then it will escape up through the hood. if you go back to previous posts you will see pics of the hood im using. For now i dont think we will design anything for the oil coolers for catching air.

 

I'm not sure your oil coolers are big enough, HAHAHA. The build looks great. I'm honestly jealous.

 

Ah, what I meant was: where are you going to pull cold air for the engine intake? May I suggest something like this:



They run restrictor plates, but you get the idea. Brake duct hose that runs to the front of the car. Also, you can see they use an air/water oil cooler behind the main radiator. Pretty slick.

Very trick engine bay. I also noticed the oil cooler.

 

Those oil coolers might be overkill or maybe I'm just jealous lol
