    Sounds good Ali,

    Hopefully we all can arrange it on the same dates this year. What about the same weekend as an RCN race and possibly a clubgti entrant. Should be a few racers out.

    Nice work I must say! [:D] Where did you buy the "primary" fuel tank reservoir?

    That would be good. Who is entering the RCN? Yourself and a few of the MK2 championship cars presumably?

    What are the regulations for RCN? I doubt my car would fit in with the regs even if I did want to do an event in the future tho [:^(]

    Nice update.

    Interesting on the fuel lines - what tools do you use to bend them into shape? If any?

    I just used my hands to bend the tube i tried the pipe bender on a spare piece but it just squashed it, you also need a rolo-flair tool to make the 37 degree seat for the JIC fitting. It's something i will be using again now that i have invested in the tool to flare it.

    You could use it on the fuel lines for my car if you want? :lol:

    I am hoping to see this and another motor running by the time I get back!

    Can do if you can source the fuel line dont think she has any stock of it but i'll give her a call and find out if your serious.

    The skyline is running just trying to get this RX7 out of the picture i had forgotten how much 5hit there is attatched to the rotary in such a small space.

    Intercooler should be delivered today :thumbup:

    Intercooler pics yet???

    I take it you mean it is as before but not yet mapped?

    Will get back to you on the lines - I think I might have enough braided hose left that I can re use. If not, those alu lines look like the way to go.

    What and amazing build very very clean and done right !

    I see the rear axle with the bars across , is this to stop the axle flexing so much , or will it help and aid to create a sort of indepentant suspenion ?

    Terrible photos but you get the idea of what arrived yesterday after a small wait for it to be made.

    [​IMG]

    Some fittings to finish the brake and engine breather systems although smart tits here managed to order the wrong size of banjo for the MK4 rear calipers [8(]

    [​IMG]



    What size is it actually, anyone? I am presuming it is metric but def not M10x1.0

    Will a normal M10 x 1.5 bolt screw in it?

    Intercooler roughly in place quite a bit of modifying to do as i want to change the design of the front cross-member so i have more space in and around it. I will try and do a proper update at some point just havent had the time.

    What is the size of the core? Looks like a RS 500 job...

    Good work!
