You could always do what Renault did on the later 5 GT Turbo. Fit a cooling fan blow air onto the carburettor.
-
I did one with the RX8 Owners club last year and it was a huge laugh. A very good day out and I would recommend it to anyone
-
I remember those Kits! they used to sell them in the Marshall Ward catalogue
-
Looks like the Chinese cloning fraternity have moved on to carbs. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3219.....e=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Anyone had any experience of these yet? The seller has a nice selection of carbs listed, some quite hard to find
-
Do you have the carb make and model? You mention Fuel injection as well, so I'm a little confused
-
Ah FD seats
-
Got a mate dropping off some Smart roadster leather seats next weekend so watch this space Which RX7 do you mean? FB (70/80)s, FC late 80s-mid 90s), or FD (mid 90s-00)? StreetKa seats look like the may fit as well
-
Had the seats out of My RX8 today and can say that no amount of fettling will make them to fit in a spitfire in such a way that you can:- A. Put the roof on B. Be able to drive the car
-
strip the dash and replace with some nice Smiths Magnolia Dials. Seats need replacing with something more period. Steering wheel needs to be wooden and large
-
I like it.... certainly has potential. The interior and wheels need some de-modernising
-
Sorted thanks In case anyone else needs them they are here:- http://ccts-inc.com/SPITFIRE/Dash%20Templates.htm Obviously they will need to be mirrored for RHD
-
Before I spend time drawing these up myself, does anyone have a template for the 3 wood panels that make up the Dashboard in a MKIV spitfire? Preferably in digital format File type is unimportant, as long as the dimensions are correct
-
I believe they are the same! Im sure one of or more learned members will chip in shortly. If they are different, drop me a PM, I have one in the shed
-
Thanks for the responses guys! Will order some Cobalt drill bits

Did you get any further with this?

Thanks for the offer.... I bought one from the tssc shop in the end However I do want to remove the body tub from mine in the near future so a 2nd one might be useful I'll drop you a PM to discuss

Just had a chat with one of my rotary guys and the 5 Speed Prop is steel and is a straight swap for the Carbon on the 6Spd, so might be easier to work with. Good thing is the second hand spares for the 8 are plentiful and quite cheap. A fresh built engine from one of the specialists would be about £3.5K tho I'll keep my eyes open for a good used one Gearbox should be about 150 Where abouts are you in the UK? There's a couple of places I can recommend for second hand spares etc. As you mentioned Apex Rotary I'm guessing you are around the Surrey area.
-
Sorry yes I mean prop shaft. The prop on an rx8 is carbon fibre and it looks like the ujs on each end are bonded into the tube. I think if you can get it out of one end you should be able to rebond it somehow, although working with composites other than a bit of glass fibre is beyond my skill set lol Next time I am under my rx8 I'll take some pics for you.
-
Looks like its coming along nicely What will you do about a driveshaft? The RX8 Shaft is carbon fibre and will according to my calculations be too long
-
I only have a finite amount of time to do these things (I have a full time job and a family) so sometimes it makes sense to buy in something ready made and knowing it will work first time rather saving a few pounds fabricating my own parts. As for the inner sills.... Looks good so far :0 We have a USB endoscope so drilled a few holes in the knackered sill and had a look inside
