Thanks RdS. Im pretty happy with what I have done with the minute resources I have but still has more to be done before Im satisfied. At least its running..
I will dyno the car soon to see whats going on with A/F ratios for one.
Handling is an issue but will be sorted soon enough.
The rear camera is fitted so I can see whats behind!
The next lot of pic's will be of the wing,undertray,exhaust relocation and perhaps a diffuser.

Just an update on the car. Fitted the wing today with a few more parts coming in this week including new roll centre adjusters, sway bar links and a brake upgrade.
The car will be all but complete and ready to start having some fun no track.
I fabricated a brace which is welded to the chassis of the car then protrudes threw holes cut into the boot lid. The wing brackets then bolt to these uprights. This allow all the force produced by the wing to be sent to the chassis with no energy loss by mounting to the boot.

Some pic's of the wing

looks mean. did you take any photos before you fitted the wing? would like to see how the brace was done.

I will sort something out later this week. It pretty straight forward and works well but I would not recommend it if the car is for regular driving as it blocks most of the boot area.

I managed a shot of the interior today, the wheel is missing but Im sure people get the idea.

The wing again


I tried the new brake system I thought would fit but it seems that its not going to happen which puts me back to the drawing board for the moment regarding brakes.
I may end up with GTT calipers and two peice rotors. have to wait and see.

impressed with how far your car has come. what brake upgrade didn't fit?

Thanks.It was a Rx7 RZ kit. The back will fit but not the front, due to the rotor hat offset.Plus the rear rotors are solids which seem to be 'too heavy' for my liking. Better of selling it all then starting from scratch again.

you can buy rx8 alloy hatted rotors from dba.

with what you had on the front why didn't it fit? was it a universal supra upgrade or?

By the sounds of it he was trying to use factory rx7 brakes.
