Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for the moderator help. Some developements today with the subframe...
Thanks Rx7 Specialties and Jim for working late on Friday...
The new subframe

The bump steer and linkage kit

Out with the old and in with the new.


It makes the wheels do fun things when the steering rack is disconnected...

not on a three rotor it doesn't. mirabile, you'll probably have to get a custom large capacity rad made, also look into the Koyo n-flow triple pass radiator.

I saw this car at hot import nights in Jersey and talked to you back in May. You seemed a little lofty on what horsepower numbers the car was making and told me you were going to go 3-rotor soon and wanted to make 1000rwhp eventually. I thought you were just another ricer that got a hold of an FD, lol.

Glad to see i was wrong, and that you are actually doing it. Good luck with everything, looks to be very impressive in the end.

Hi, I dont remember you because I talked to a lot of people at those shows, but thanks. The car was making some good power with the old setup, so I am not sure what lofty means. Someday I would lovvve to reach the 1000 mark. Me and the guys at the shop have some things taking shape on a different engine for that though....The only hint I can give is 26b...The goal for this engine is over 600 and should be readily attainable with nitrous, I hope. Look forward to seeing you at next years shows. The car is looking to be ready for Febuary 16 show in PA so come out and support.
PS this is what rice looks like

I would love to see some pictures of that. A company called S-MAX is sponsoring the car and doing a custom nitrous induced intercooler for it, and are pushing me to V-Mount, but I was worried about the room...Which Koyo are you using?

There three row, doing a V-mount requires you to cut and move the cross member that holds the hood latch along with the wires that run along the cross member

That was coming out anyway. I really need to see pictures of this, it sounds innovative as it gets.
