shrink Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 sounds like a great idea... however, whats the weight like on the V8 engine and gearbox compared to the straight six thats coming out? will this not make the front end considerably heavier? and hence mean you need a new steering rack as well as all new front suspenion to take the weight?

E30 sam Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Sounds like an awesome idea. Craig has done 2 RX7's for my uncle and one for his mate which was in Time Attack, his workmanship is amazing. One day i will be knocking on his door to do a 318is E30 for me.

E30 sam Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yep he sure is, yeah I know it was hard work with the auto. I do love the RX7 its so much fun, he has just got it to work on the tip tronic aswell so it should be a real weapon on track now. Do you work for/with Craig then? Cause I've been down once to pick the blue RX7 up with Nigel after the oil cooler for the box went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
