Looking forward to seeing your build progress Tony, should be nuts :) TBH all the work was very reasonable and the service the lads provide is second to none.

You and me both ;)

Its been a long time since I had an update on the RX8, with that I took a spin up to Gripfab yesterday to deliver some parts and sort out a plan for getting the project moving again. Of course the first thing was to roll her into the workshop and get the rear wheels on to see what kind of a challenge lay ahead.

As your going to use it for motorsports, will running the arches not restrict you to those size wheels. Having one set of wheels will be killer on a track car, unless your planning on buying a few sets???

Its a trackcar, I'll have more rears around 10 / 11JJ but thats a concern for when it is built, for now I just want it done.
