Batman called, he said there was a mixup in shipping. He apparently has an rx-7 race car now ...

That thing is scary as hell.

Talking Whew....I thought you guys would think I was serious.

More like early '80's actually. I think it looks like a Porsche 934 body kit fitted to an FC.


Here is a shot of an early '90's FC.

Talking Its A Joke, Okay!!!!!!!

Yes, that car is ripped off from the Mariah Motorsports Cars for sale list. I saw it and laughed out loud. You would have to drive that car listening to ELO, Steely Dan and of course my all time favorite band from that era, Trooper. I think some parachute pants and a blazer/ t-shirt combo in pastels. HMMMMMM....I wonder if the car has Lambo-doors.

Some of you guys scare me, being so serious and stuff. Man, its a very custom kit on an FC that is never going to see the track. I would never do that to my car. It looks way too much like a Bat Mobile kind of custom kit and very "80's. I can see that it steals influences from the Porsche slant nose 935/ 934 IMSA cars from the early 80's but it must weigh far too much to be used on a race car.

In fact, even Mariah doesn't use the kit on their own race cars, LOL. They use a slightly flared version of the stock bodywork on the E/Prod car.

I really like the Mazda Comp car I put in my second reply. That looks good with the right suspension, wheels and of course a turbo 3 rotor.....drooooolll!

Talking What We Are Actually Doing.

Just wait little bit grass hopper.

I have all the parts finally in house for the ITB setup. It is mostly mocked up now to a spec's recommended by Rohan Ambrose based on the IPRA setups. We have finished the process of stripping down the car. The interior is completely stripped out now and underhood is just the engine block, steering rack and rad. The complete removal of the wiring harness, coils etc... is over 30 lbs. Dave Salt, my crew chief, says that we will only be adding about 10 lbs back and maybe make the car more reliable in the process.

Other things on the go;

- cutting/slicing/denting a chunk of the transmission tunnel to move the drivers seat 2 inches to the right. Head room requirement.

- bump steering the front and rear suspension (finally).

- cutting away all remaining non essential brackets and metal covers (need more lightness)

- Completely new dash set-up

- lowering car another 1 inch overall

- changing a few cage bars to improve space around driver

- rod ending and metal bushing more of the car

- changing the exhaust again to a design recommended by Rohan Ambrose

- installing Megasquirt with shift interrupter enabled (should be great for huge flameballs!!!!)

- new front splitter arrangement

- adding new headlights

- adding a rear diffuser and other aero stuff

- installing my full data logging setup.

Just a few things that need to get done before end of April. At least this year we don't have to worry about the engine being up to snuff.

I like it except for that massive wing.
Is the wing at least functional?

I think the car looks bad ***. Looks like it will destroy all that aproaches it. I would totaly turn a car like that into a track car, simply because it looks like it would be fast lol. I am strange like that. The wing is not quite my style, but the car still looks good.

I would have went with a more suttle look. It may give a little Tessarosa (sp) look.
