Amazing build. Wish more people would take the time to do it right. I've been reading through it here and there for a couple days.

Hi, great work!
Been flow this thread for long time. And now Im going to start my project. My 8 is already 140k Kms so. Going to do something crazy to her.
Just a quick Qs
What series of rx7 steering rack you are using? Does s4/5 rx7 steering rack will be alright for it??

Thanks a lot!!!

Subbed. Awesome build dude!

kurorex

get a custom made rack they are cheap enough and easier as the rx7 isn't wide enough really tho you can use rack spacer the neck on the steering rack is a pain if your using a engine like the sr with the alternator or pumps on that side as it hits tho might not be a problem if your using a LHD car

Nearly

Doesnt matter mate, just go with the FD3S rack

Welcome

RHD ftw :p

The only update I have is that I got some 740cc injectors but I hope to have some proper updates over the next two weeks

Hey man, if you're looking to run more camber up front (since you plan on drifting this bad bitch). I suggest you get the japspeed (japspeed.co.uk) front UCA, they're located in the UK so it'll be pretty cheap for you.
I just got them and they add about -3 camber, maybe a little less like -2.5. Only downside is that they dont have a place to attach the brake lines, so you have to switch over to SS lines, which im sure you already did.



And here they are maxed out with my oem-ish fenders. This is 18x10.5 -20 for my fronts.

Pretty cool setup May go for that down the line

So this started again today, engine and box in, should start to see good progress on the car over the next few weeks

Coming along nicely

So got to catch up with the lads in Gripfab to see how the car was coming along, loom, engine, seat, pedal box, snap off wheel are in and the apexi arrived, getting there now

Starting to take shape now mate..
Always the best bit, bolting it all back together eh...
Won't be long now..

Is the steering rack crooked? If that is the final position, you might consider redoing it. The tie rod angle is excessive imho.

Edit: never mind, now I see that the rack was not bolted in ��

Thanks for the advice.

Just tumbled onto this build and all I can say is ... wow. Would not have thought someone could/would do what you are doing here. Calling it an 8 on steroids is an understatement!

Kruizer

So I have been really busy with both job so finding the time to work on any of cars has been a mission, never mind annoying others to work on it too Got the engine mounted back in, wiring started again, custom fuel cell and the new dash arrived, hope to have it out for paint by the end of December as I still need to make the front bumper, dumb *** idea to wide arch her. Enough talking more pics :








For now she is good as a shelf
