Thanks mate
I'll be fitting conards to the bumper also... 
Toblerone FTW !
Welcome dude
So got up at 5am this morning, loaded the car onto the trailer and set off for Dublin, only 130miles but at 80kph it was a long enough spin... Anyways on the good side, got it to MG Crash Crash Repairs where Mark will be painting the engine bay and interior (rollcage) for me as I'm a fussy f**ker. The RX8 was feeling a little intimidated by one of Mark's RB S15's ha, ha, his workshop is awesome, 2 x RB S15's, 2JZ Altezza, and my favourite the Escort Cosworth to name but a few. On the home stretch now

We only moved it a few mm's forward so it should be fine
You pay for the speedo's and Bulmers and we have a deal
So I haven't posted an update on this in a while, been busy with the RX7 and of course getting the other RX8 So Mark from MG Crash Repair sent me on these pic's of the car today, the interior and bay have been fully finished in Toyota 040 Super White, I think it looks awesome and I cannot wait to see it in the metal

So Mark sent on the previous picutres on Sunday when he finished painting the car, Monday after work, I packed herself and the dogs into the car and 130miles later we were in MG Crash Repairs. As herself is managing Team Chihuahua on fb she was good enough to take a few quick pic's of how the car turned out, the colour is so bright, I have to say what he was given compared to what he is returning, there is no comparison. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Shiney
Sneaky pic of myself and Mark chatting about the drift scene, dunno where Paul (Also a very fella to talk too, can see why he is liked so much in the scene) disappeared too
Romeo even climbed into his car for a pic, needs a booster seat though
And just two random shots with effects thrown on, kinda like her without sideskirts
Next stop, Gripfab

Hi How much weight is saved when you removed the steel parcel shelf structure and upper rear shock mount? I am looking to do the same thing in my race car but want to know how much savings there is as it will require some cage changes on my car.

awesome build
I am eager to see this build whenits done but im going to get my first car and i really want it to be an rx8 and i also want to alter the appearance with out slapping on a rather ricey bodykit so what price range would it be in to have my fenders pulled out that wide by a shop cause i think i would muck it up if i was to do it myself

Coming
Welcome
Ha, ha
So I've been quiet for a long time, work and other stuff taking over but I am happy to be going back at this, was up with John on Friday and we have pulled a plan together to have the car finished mechanically for Christmas
Dropped off a few bits including the freshly painted rocker cover so once the mechanical stuff is finished she will be heading for paint in January with a view to having it mapped and ready to go for February.
Wish me luck LoL
