Team Chihuahua SR20 RX8

[Kruizer]

So haven't done a whole lot over the weekend barr finish off the jobs I started, it took a few days but 15kgs lighter now thankfully. Just have the last of the glue to remove from the drivers side foot well.



I had planned on stripping the front doors down like the rear but there is a second skin and the window harness and runner is bolted to it so the weight saving there is on hold until I get the fibreglass doors and lexan kit. All I could really remove were the speakers.





I've only ever seen the car in darkness or partial light due to being in the garage so brought her out for a wash to get an idea of what repairs are need, awkward dent on the passenger rear door, front and rear bumpers are being replaced so nothing needed there and all thats left is the drivers side wing so I happy enough, big weight off my mind is there is no rust repair needed thankfully as I was concerned being from the uk originally...

Thanks Jay/ Its just to empty the engine bay really and the abs won't work with the new stoppers dude.

I decided to keep my monster Works Wheels and will use these as a point of reference so I can build the wings and quarters, must pick up another pair for the rear something like 18 x 11JJ or 11.5JJ -10 offset as I don’t fancy ripping up 315’s… Back onto Dave to wreck his head some more…

Work Meister S1’s
Front 18 x 11JJ +10 offset : Tires 255 / 35 / R18
Rear 18 x 13.5JJ -10 offset : Tires 315 / 30 / R18

I will run the 11.5JJ's on the front, might need a spacer thou with the brakes and the 13.5JJ's will be more of a show piece for when she is static. Gonna try find some 18 x 10JJ Meisters for the track... The S14 is really taking shape

how much for your rx8 box?

As Yowdy said its sold...

running gear sold

Fucker, you gave me a heart attack, thought you sold the new running gear LoL Read it way to quick ha...

Did a bit more ripping, took out all the pedals, master cylinder and abs unit...



The engine bay is starting to look alot cleaner, except for that monstrous loom !
