Definitely looks like it will be an amazing looking car when its all done. That is without even mentioning the 3 rotor under the hood as well. That car is going to be an amazing car.

No, its welded with tig, but it is my first time doing it...but i am 100% sure its not leaking, that is the most important thing, in the picture i haven't grinded the manifold at all..looks better when i have done that..

The reason for that the carbon fiber not looks very good is beacause i havent cleaned of the wax that i use so it comes of the mold and not get stucked..

When i have cleaned it, it will look like everyone else carbon fiber part that you can buy anywhere

I need some place to get the air out from the engine bay when driving..lots of air going in in the front, the must out somewhere, down under the car and the pressure to the grund will be less, out from the hood and the pressure under the car remains the same..


first i also had to make the scoop beacause the 20b is so high, but now i have ordered dry sump so i can get a flat oil pan on the engine, this so i can get it lower in the car

I'd be intrested in knowing that too, since I have problems with cracking paint/bondo on my widebody RX-7. If somebody has a good solution, let me know.

You should consider mass production of the sunroof (when you have time). Alot of people, including myself are looking for someone to make them, but so far no one has stepped up to the plate. Awesome project though, I can't wait to see it finished. Keep up the good work.
