Thanks mech head
Not much Russell and there are 33mm spacers on the front to get the wheels over the 8 pot Brembo's so that should help...
More just chancing my arm Cool.
So with the day job being so busy atm I don't have a lot of time to give to the RX8 however I can squeeze an hour or two here and there. I decided I wanted rid of the licence plate recess so rather than use that expanding foam crap which is so bloody messy I went a different route.
I started off by paying a trip to Flowers Forever where I normal get herself something but this time it was for my other lady
in the form of the oasis blocks that are used for displays. These blocks can be sanded with very little effort and weigh nothing. So with some impact adhesive I glued in three blocks and a bit of masking tape for 15mins until it set.
Using a steel ruler I gentle sawed my way along the tlop line of the bumper to keep the natural curve and from there used the waste to fill underneath as I only used 2/3's of the width of the block and the gradual slope meant that was more than enough, end results was this. I think the lights look like eyes with a green mouth underneath LoL
Next up I will grind the edges of the recess down so I can apply a layer of fibreglass matting with a sudden rise. While all that was going I decided to keep some rear vents much like the front wings, using fibreglass matting again I reinforced space at the back and a resin at the front and left the metal plates that were original popriveted there for strength. So here is the first pass at how the rear vent looks.
Obviously still a lot more to do so will keep you posted as I go.
