i absolutely love the paint scheme and mazda logo. this is so freaking cool i dont know what to do.

 

any updates ?

 

Hey guys, it's been a while but don't worry things are still happening.

Here is the dry sump tank with the intricate breather I came up with.
there will be a clear hose that goes to the back of the car coming off the breather can





and here is the filter adapter from peterson fluids, it has a single stage pump on it to prime the engine that you turn with a drill. I'm sure you guys have seen folks with a drill and a pulley at the races priming their engines, with this you just put the drill on the adapter, no need to remove belts. I think its really cool (not cheap, but cool)!





more to come

Me likey!

 

oh my god that looks sick man , awesome fab work really nice job ... i need a rear cradle like that one lol

 

What class are you going to run with this?

 

Well, IF I were to run SCCA it would be GT1 (except for the fact that the engine is too far back) but my plan is to run a local series that basis their classes on engine size.

Nice setup man. I'm building a replica of the revolution carbon RX7, But I don't know if they will let me run a R26B 4 rotor. I don't want to run a turbo motor. The car is going to be mainly for Time Attack but I would like to do some wheel to wheel racing just to see how she stacks up. There really wasn't much in the SCCA rule book about it.

 

Hey boys and girls, below please find some cool sounds!

dat brap

 

Awesome ... I can bet after the time and effort that's gone/going into this build that firing it up in the car felt fantastic!

 

I'm still sitting in the car revving it.........

BigAl...

 

Are you invisible?!

 

LOL, I bet you are. Probably slept in it too.

 

Watched that video a few times now.

 

mee too !!

 

Congrats! Sounds great!

 

Come run STR1 in NASA.... Assuming your dynojet with driver wt/pw ratio is about 6.0 or higher.

 

Read through from the start. Looks absolutely excellent. Can only imagine how loud it must be.

 

She finally made it to the dyno! Big thanks to my buddy Mandy for all his help and Sean from P2R www.powerrevracing.com for his hospitality at the dyno and I can't forget my buddy Nory for shootin the video. The night started off good, she was responding to all the changes, the tune was coming up. THEN the TPS **** the bed and since I'm not running a map sensor (that's right you guessed it) dyno session over! My goal is 425hp to the wheels and with the tune pig rich she made 410hp. So even though the night was cut short by that darn little varmint (tps) I'm very happy with the results. $40 and I got myself a new tps, so sometime time soon we should be going back to find those last 15hp which really shouldn't be that difficult.

Enjoy the sounds, this video really doesn't do the live sound justice!

 

nice work!!!

 

Thats just awesome!

 

Damn... sounds incredible!! Congrats!

 

Sounds great! Really fast acceleration too. 4th gear pull?

Congrats! I am super excited about my car now!!!

 

Looks like the throttle response is fantastic. Sounds good too. Sweet.
