Dan507 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Carried on stripping the car down. I removed the Air bags, door cards, roof lining this afternoon. The only thing left is to remover the Radio then sort the wiring out and then remove the sound deadening. My step dad reckons we should make a new loom up for the Lights, ABS traction control, fuel pump as it would be much quicker than stripping the current one down.How it looks like from the outsideHaven't even started on removing the engine yet. :oops: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 I've stripped most of the loom on Saturday. I've got a whole bin bag full of wires. I'm still not even half way yet. lol. No photos this time round. I also have some poly carbonate sheets on order to do the front windows. Still need to order some sliders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan507 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Done my windows on Wednesday. Pretty happy with them. Just need to bond them in now which im not really looking forward too.Also been having some naughty thoughts about the Greddy turbo kit. there are a few for sale on the RXClub forum mostly under $2500Which works out £1500 which it quite good considering that they are £3400 new.

Starbo Moorley Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) What he said ^^^^ these engines dont pack any real umph unless you port them out aggresively or turbo them, will stick too the corners nicely though !

lew777 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 or just stick a rx7 engine into like that pink rx8 drift machine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 That thing is nuts ! Id say go quad rotor ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 I might go turbo once she's done. but at the moment the money can be spent on things. I still have a long list of stuff i want lol.I idealy want 230BHP at the wheels (280ish at the fly). Stock (high power) RX8's have around 160WHP I have a target weight of 1200KG's including the cage so it will be pretty quick. Stock BHP/T 160My Target BHP/T 230bhp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 ^^^^sounds like a good plan dude. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Not much to report Really. My clutch stuff should be hear soon. Haven't really made much progress with the car. still looking sorry for it's self. I have been ordering more parts for her though so it's not all doom and gloom. I've ordered a Nardi Steering wheel.I've also bought a BHR ignition kit (LS1 V8 coils) and Racing beat Manifold of off Budo254 which should be here next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 I put the coilovers on the car today the front is nice and low the rear, well. IT SUCKS - just as i thought. Removing all that weight and the longer/stiffer spring have made the car still sit 20mm more than the factory ride height. thinking that the roll cage and seats might bring the car lower, i got my mate to sit in it. he weighs about 12 stone, the car lowered about 5mm. So, I'm going to take the locking collars out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Needs more power or less weight imo, but some nice work going in to this be a good car when done, keep up the good work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 It will be quick enough. lol. It should look something like this from the outside when she's done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
