Saw the wing, don't think it would suit the car once the arches are built fella, like the vent location ?
And she is gone, Bear collected her today and she is now sitting up in Mr. Stones. Next updates will be alot more exciting, rollcage baby![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

The vents are neat and there's room in the middle should you ever need it.
Imho that wing is the best option available, barring electronic adjustable setups.

Looks neat and performs like a champ

They should work well all going to plan...

Well since the car is gone I decided to do a bit on the bonnet, ground down the edges of the bonnet and under the vents so they sealer could bite into something :

Used the usual pop rivets to hold them in place while the sealer set but looking good so far :

The underneath just needs the lines tidied up a bit so they are even but all in all I'm happy enough...

Welcome to the thread...
Well fella, everything I make for this build with be replicated in Fibreglass as a weight saving exercise. So from the bonnet to the boot will be available as spares when I hit the track, if there is anything you need I can see about shipping to the states ?

Just as a side note I would like to state I am not a trader, I don't intend on trying to make money from this build. I'm building it purely for my love of cars and my own amusement. Any parts I have made for the car I will pass on the contact details for that specialist to whoever is interested. If you wish to ban my ip again I would suggest you at least drop me a pm or email first to clarify. Common courtesy goes along way !

Nice project man. What made you choose the SR20 for the project?
I'm prepping my FI 8 for drift.. I can't seem to find what tires I can use.. What are the longest lasting drift tires available?
Good luck and hope to see it in action soon!
Regards,
Mark

lol longest lasting tires for drifting?....you realize that you are essentially rubbing the rubber off the tires with each slide. But look at the NT05s those give me great traction and break when needed.
