Yeah it will be over by the CAS somewhere. We were thinking of fliping it around so it faced the engine, but I don't know if alternators work if they spin backwards or not. Never tried it before. I don't know why it wouldn't work. The manifold would be pretty expensive in this application. For a regular FD or FC it would be less and we could reproduce what we are doing on the RX-8. Not sure on a price though. I would guess somewhere around $3000 with the twin TB's and the plenum like it is.

 

Kevin, I don't know what the price is on an FE BIW, but mazda also sells an FC BIW which retails for either 7 or ten grand, I can't remember which.

holly crap knockers! Can't wait too see the final product!

 

nope, dont have it

 

ohhh even better an FC BIW! hmm i have an fd i can sell to buy an fc biw....time to finish the fd so it can go up for sale mwuahahahah!



also when the intakes done let me know, im very interested

I dont think you could register a body like that, if you were to street it.

 

i dont think id street a body like that.



kevin.

 

just feel up a body like that?

 

id fill up a body like that.



kevin.

 

Yeah they don't have VIN numbers on them...but when you get used doors from a registered car, there is a VIN number sticker on it



Some more sex shots from last night... I finished making and welding in the fuel cell mounts while John continued on the intake manifold. Manifold should be finished today.
