Just a little update featuring the RX8

"Heroes For The Weekend" has been the best reflection of the Irish Drift Community I have ever seen, it is a 90min movie in HD. Your support will ensure that the IDC Crew continue to push the boundaries and give us the show we all want to see, 2015 was amazing, with your support 2016 can be legendary.

I just watched this after Speedhunters posted it today. Holy shit was that an amazing way to spend an hour and a half. I thought I recognized the RX8 and then it panned to the front shot and it suddenly hit me.

Its all me I'm afraid, the RX7 is in the bodyshop getting ready for paint with the Rocket Bunny Kit as I type

and I'm grateful for that! Was it you or another person from Chihuahua who built the Rx7? Your BN progress on that thing was so cool but the RB finish was rad. Can't wait to see more progress on this thing.

So a bit has happened the past couple of weeks, got the fuel support painted up, new braided lines, billet fuel rail fitted, fpr, 740cc rc developments injectors and the exhaust system is all mocked up, just needs to be welded fully and we are well on our way, few more jobs to do but getting there thankfully Shout out to Stone Motorsport for all their hard work

This car is cray.

I think you are a bit insane, in a very good way
Not planning on drifting it with the Work wheels? Cause you're gonna need some serious amounts of boost to make it wiggle it's booty with 315's and don't go tandem drifting with any rookies, way too many hours behind the bodywork on this to bang it up
keep up the good work !

I'm a rookie myself

fuck this build has gotten insane since the last time i subbed into the thread !!

Hopefully get a bit madder yet

Called up to the lads in Stone Motorsport, trying to get a push on atm on the car so while Brendan was on the mechanics I was tipping away fibreglassing the front bumper



New clutch went, then the rb25 box and prop


So much room in the engine bay


Matting was up first


Used some resin, wanted to stay away from filler as long as possible


Had to extend the side down also


V-mount going back in


New fuel system is sick


Not happy with just mounting it, Brendan made a new rear jacking point also



Need to clean off some surface rust and paint underneath but it will look mint

So I have been really busy with both job so finding the time to work on any of cars has been a mission, never mind annoying others to work on it too Got the engine mounted back in, wiring started again, custom fuel cell and the new dash arrived, hope to have it out for paint by the end of December as I still need to make the front bumper, dumb ass idea to wide arch her. Enough talking more pics :








For now she is good as a shelf
