Keeping the CF prop will be a bit of a talking point. May have to figure out a solution! I am really impressed with the RX8 suspension (aside from bi-metallic corrosion from screwing steel bolts into an alloy hub that won't come out!!!) I am really considering one as a family car. Superb machine! I am on the look out for a Renesis 13b and 6sp box, so if you happen across a cheap one on offer on any of the rotary forums please let me know.

Prop or driveshafts? Drive shafts look like they are steel, they will be cut and sleeved. I didn't know that about the Prop shaft- may pose a bit of an issue, fortunately I have a few friends I can draw on their composite experience. If it cannot be shortened then I will look for a steel one and fit adaptors at either end.

Subframe 50% there

250mm taken from the centre of the subframe.

I spoke to Apex rotary that suggested using a carbed manifold and making a trigger wheel (or using an older generation front pulley with a pick up) then use a megasquirt or standalone system for ignition. There was a suggestion to use an earlier fromt cover plate with a distributor drive but I feel that is a step going backwards as a strong spark (in my mind) alomg with good fuelling and oil pressure is key to longevity. If it lasts 80k miles I will be happy. Going for a 231

The subframe needs to be narrowed by around 100-150mm, driveshafts sleeved and cut to length plus a new bracket fabricated to hold the diff. This is going to be powered by a 13b Renesis from the RX8 on carbs.

Bit of badly repaird accident damage. Poorly repaired and paint about 1.5mm thick. Found out it used to be Saffron which is a nice surprise as I wasn't too keen on the white. If I lift the body with these sills, is the shell likely to distort?

Couple of Joey questions: is the GT6 door the same as a Spitfire MK4? And which are the best autojumbles to get along to? Thanks

I am in Plymouth. I tried looking in the local part of the forum for some meets but it doesn't look like there is any?? Posting some new pictures.

The pics are very generous!! I will get some close-ups over the coming days. Unfortunately a house rebuild is taking priority
