hi all I been registered years on her but been busy but have decided to get into the meets scene again due too getting old and bored ...... the car metro mg turbo fitted with full rx8 running gear engine box diff suspension EVERYTHING weighs 1100kg and makes about 240hp and is 6 speed it has full cage buckets harnesses and is lots of fun . future plans are to finish the interior and put sum tunes in after some serious soundproofing then later in the year bin the normally aspirated rotary and put in a rx7 engine later fd model but instead of twin turbos just run the one turbo and aim for a 400hp+ figure  but for the moment its still useable and fun and its used every other day too cheers al.  |

Definately need to get some more pics up mate! Still can't believe I haven't ever seen the car about when you must be 10 mins away from mine - have to sort out a free couple of hrs sometime and let me get a proper look at the car!

My jaw dropped open when this rolled into the carpark on Sunday! ;D Fantastic car, 6R4's are one of my favourites! Here's some pics I took at the Limes:    Is it built on an RX8 floorpan? Or is the trans tunnel I spied welded into the Metro floorpan? |

cheers for the replies and pics :0 i will post some build pics up asap ,there was very little solid floorpan left in the original metro so most of its mazda now ,yep i built it last summer started 24th may 09 and was roadworthy on 1st oct 09 .the holes in the front dam are needed for air to the coolers for the oil x2 i like it like that tho' and the rear spoiler has been cut down and lowered a few inches because it was just causing drag but is getting modified to be speed related and lift and lower at different speeds and possibly mod it to act as air brake too .... when the weather warms up tho .... prey its all good mate I'm only near fox and CROWN pm me your number and we sort out a day for a chat and a brew on another note i have a bit of a bad rep for selling things quickly but i can honestly say the rotary engine has turned me forever i never knew the noise could be so awesome so i reckon this car could well be with me a long time .............hopefully.. cheers alex |
