Dude, I can't get over the incredible job you did with this car.

I am sad that some of the pictures stopped working... :/

Can you restore them? I'm sure others would like to witness the process as well.

Best regards,

Chris

Do you have any of the early ones where you were fabbing stuff up? Those are the ones that are missing...

Sick, Sick job.

Hey guys, thanks for all the love. I couldn’t believe how dumb I was when I emptied out my photobucket not realising that all my pics were linked, I was planning on redoing all my albums and haven’t got around to it. What I plan on doing is restoring all the photos on this thread but I will just upload them from my PC so they are there permanently. I did actually put the car on the internet for sale a while ago, this was during some tough times and I was really frustrated with it. Believe me I have no intention of selling it now, this car is my baby for life. During the dyno tune we discovered a massive air leak between the upper and lower inlet manifold, this caused some problems for tuning so we stopped at 20psi, the plan for now is to test the car how it is and then fix the air leak for a 26psi tune. I will post back once I have replaced all the pics and hopefully have a nice vid to upload soon. Once again thanks for your support.

Thanks everyone.
9krpmrx8 I hope you get good results from your turbo build. the only thing better than an rx8 is one with boost.
