Nice article, good to see the some of the guys old projects and builds getting up here on steemit. cant help but notice the white engine bay and burgundy exterior paint. did you respray it and colour change ?
Also love the GT style spoiler/wing you got going on there and the factory CA rims, wow havent seen a set of them around for a while, lol. got any more pics ? would love to see more of the car.
Hi mate, no I didn't have my own pic to show the bay, had to find one. I linked the source. It was a very clean example, even the engine bay and interior were very good condition. I have some more exterior pics I'll dig em out.
The wing was made by my father, he's a bit inventive like that. It was made of aluminium. Fully functioning aero too, he used to build a lot of RC model plane wings ;)
Ah ok, must have missed it on the read through. oh nice so its fully custom and works properly, nice . dont see that too often when it comes to home made modifications, lol. im an ex fiberglasser and have seen some monstrosities and even created some myself, a lot of the time people want thelook and forgo the usability factor, carbon fiber is one of those which gets abused frequently, carbon hood weighing more than the original unit , lol.
Yeah, if you going to build a monster wing, it better work :)
Wow, carbon hood is heavier, I guess it needs to be thicker and have more supports right?
RX7 factory hood is really light, but doesn't help cooling much :(
ah its just because they want the "look" of carbon without paying for the performance of carbon. Legit units can be lifted with the pinky finger, lol.
