Feels like it's been awhile since I updated this.
If anyone in the TX area wants someone to do a LS swapped RX-7, or any chassis really, I would highly recommend MER in Cresson, TX. Or any high performance suspension work. They will really take care of your car and it will get a very thorough look over to make sure everything is ready to race. The prices for swaps are very well priced for everything being done correctly and by someone experienced.
Weighted, corner weighted and setup the car at MER, I only took a pic of before changing the corner weights, cross weight was at 50.5% after finished. Car weighed 2553 lbs without me, but a full tank of gas.
BIG Props to Darin at MER for helping me with the alignment setup and corner weighting.
Also got dyno tuned.
Made some wheel well liners. Made of aluminum and seal off the wheel well completely with foam tape and aluminum riv-nuts with button head bolts.
These are mostly temporary. I got a TIG recently and plan on making my permanent version of these out of aluminum with the head light being attached as well so it will all lift out.
Next for me on this car is replacing a few older rubber bushings and I need to replace the ball joints. May try to go another route... Also got a wideband and gauge, need to install both of those.
I want to start working on a full underbody aero setup, but I will be testing the Ronin 8.8 Explorer diff subframe kit, so I need to order a Explorer diff soon and figure I should wait to do an underbody until I have the driveline setup to make sure everything will clear OK. Maybe I can just get a splitter setup first in the meantime.
AutoX season starts soon so I may need to hold off on anything as involved as aero until it's over and only work on designing the new headlights/wheel well.
I really need to get out and do some track days more than anything to get more feedback from the car rather than just throwing money at upgrading things haha
