I'm secure deleting that from my brain - give me a second. OK, all better now. Now, back on track, you never replied about if your SC will allow the Mazdaspeed Front Strut Tower Brace to be installed...

Poke your minds eye out did ya?
I don't have one of those strut bars. The only thing I can do is make sure it fits the stock one. Notice the room Hymee has, then go back and look at the photos of mine mounted on the mock up engine. You can see how much lower mine is compared to the alternator. So just about anything should fit.

If it were imposable to make it fit then we would just supply our own bar. Not a hard part to make.

Notice also you can add oil to my setup. Even see the oil filter. How 'bout that Hymee??

Hi Richard,

What does this mean for the project? Does this mean it may not happen at all, or be delayed a year? I have been silently following this thead from the beginning, and now check RX8club mostly to see what it happening with the project.

Thanks and best of luck.

I still can't see them. Then again I can look at in 3D.

FYI the drawings are in the computer and being detailed. Hope to produce the new parts this month.

It looks like CFH went down for some upgrades. That's cool. Hopefully it won't break again.

I keep telling people that I don't look like what people expect. Everyone expects me to be some old guy with a white beard who was around to see the invention of bread. I'm 29. I'll be 30 in March. It's going to be tough for Richard to be in his 30's when he raced at Bonneville in the late 60's!
