I'll keep you guys posted....

Looking good!

dam that looks sweet

Very nice! When do you think it will be hitting the track?

Before you.:lol::lol:

Nice car, you dont' see very many of those in the States.

Not sure but I know I have a long road ahead me...

Yeah your right you don't see them,,that's one of the reason why I'm building it,,and of course I like the notchback better then the fast back R100:nod:

Thanks for the kind words guys and its a FD3 13b I'm using,,my bad...:lol:

What part of Jersey are you in?

nice sized ladder bar, thy mostly are 30 plus inches, any idea where i could shop for a set like yours, preferably internet, as its a bit hard for me to fly to the states to buy ladder bars .

Nice car too, those little units are crazy to drive on the street, i cant imagine the track

Very nice rear end setup. Much better than mine anyway haha...
Their a handful to drive but also a hell of a lot of fun!
Subscribed to the thread to see the updates

go with a 4 link set up instead of the ladder bars..

haha tones i edited my post, i thought for a second you had a 1300 , they all look too similar to me .
Ladder bar is simple , im simple , if its hard i loose the plot too easy :lol:

well 1200/1300 all the same to me as i honestly cant tell the difference. Mine was a coupe but meh, still bloody small hahaha


if you have someone thats able to set up the rear and make adjustments at the track then go 4link. If not then I wouldnt worry about it as all it does is gives you more ways to lose your setup when playing.

The fastest untubbed mazda in the world uses a ladder bar arrangement built in their shed on the farm 20+ years ago, so if its good enough for him, its good enough for me!!!!

Linden NJ.....

The ladder bars are from S&W 28" Sport Compact with molly ends....

ill google it thanks ,
edit: found em , pretty cheap too.

Whats up Ito,,its been A while sins I talk to you,,,My original plan was 4 link but everyone is telling me to run ladders being that I want to drive it in the street....

I see your from Perth,,I used to Talk to Frank and Jimmy from Formaz before Frank sold the business,,do you know them?

Nah, that was before my time the old Formaz crew. Beefcake is also from Perth and been around the scene longer than me.

But keep up with the updates as I love the smaller cars

Sweet! Luv them old school rotaries, good luck with your project.

yeh i used to work at formaz , but unfortunately when the dodgey last owner took over, i left asap , i still see frank around from time to time, but jim well.... fallen off the apple cart

I heard Jim went to jail for betting someone almost to death is that true???

yep, he got out and tried to start his own shop but it never took off, shame as he was one of the original guys who got me into rotaries , and he was one of the few who knew how to screw together a tough motor :nod:

Wow what a shame if you see Frank or Jimmy tell them I said hello Tony from the states,,also I got your pm thanks....
