It's gonna look sick! RX8 already has a sorta sidebody look with those bulging fenders but this takes it to another level.

I have an idea of the time, effort and talent it takes to do this... hat's off to you in that regard, but this is simply not my style. would have to pass.

Also, you lost your suicide doors! say it isn't so !!!

You will have to cut your headlights apart. Then drill in leds and run wires to your parking lights. I will be offering this option in the future. I hope to be at some east coast car shows starting Feb.

Still a lot of work to complete.

Will be at Daytona 24 hour This weekend with car.

Nice project but I don't like it. Sorry.
Rear huge openings in a car that has the engine placed in the front is pure fail. Running with a parachute would be the same thing.

Most front engine race cars with rear intakes us air to cool rear brakes. Also with the front side fender being out that far it will not allow a lot of air into the rear.

But thank

here are a few examples

I see one race car with little vanes, a failside rx7 (definitely not a race car and slower than the stock rx7 too...) and another show car.
You should take this kind of car into consideration instead:

This is the only Mid engine Rear orientation rotary I know of(other than the classic 787s), it participates in the Belgian Touring Car Series.
