good luck guys and have fun. Ill send some updates and expect some in return from Melbourne.

thanks for the nice words guys!! i hope it can put on a good show, of course along with everyone else!

i can wait to see it tearing the track up after all the work that has gone into it but as you know you cant garuantee anything when it comes to racing.

the first test went well, still have plenty more to work through but the bassis is there and we have a nice big list of things to do and if we get a quarter of those done before superlap i will be happy!! :P

i'm sorry to the guys that would like to see the car stay black (as so would i ) but there will be decals on it as we couldnt do it with out some help but hopefully should look good anyway.

we have tried to do everything we have learned and some new things from some people smarter than us , so we will see if it pays off.

cheers see you guys next week

fap fap fap fap..... say no more!!!

That is a pure piece of master craftsmanship worth of every blood sweat n tear resulted in its production...

Congrats fellas you truly have created a piece of fine fine fine machinery!!

most of it is. it's just been painted...

bonnet carbon

bumper and carnards carbon

front undertray FRP

front guards carbon

side skirts carbon

rear quarters carbon

rear pods carbon

boot lid carbon

wing carbon

doors carbon

the only real body work on the car that's not carbon as far as I can say off the top of my head is the roof. and come to think of it the bumper may be FRP too for strength and some durability. most of the interior is carbon too and the windows lexan. and all the carbon gear is the real deal. most of it was made in japan by composite experts, designed and built properly with all the right gear (autoclaved, vacuum bags etc). no half measures. :banana:

this thing needs chrome decals in nice fonts.... like the knight sports cars.. when will aussie workshops get cool logos and workshop names.... spose ill consider red r racing as a cool logo.

Here's some wallpaper resolutions:

HOLY F-ING SH!T!!!!!

When i first saw the picture of this i was like "mmm...looks ok...not sure tho" (baring in mind my mate sent me the pic on my phone so it was tiny)

Seeing this picture just scared the crap out of me!!! That's the devils car! It looks so evil...it looks like it will decimate everything on the track.

    • Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list
    • To update this thread. I got sent a replacement Attesa pro unit and all is now working as expected. Cheers
    • FD is so sexy she can pull off tri-spokes
    • Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain   
    • What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
