This.

Awesome project.

Glad you like. Cage will be removed from the FGF on sunday weather permitting. Plan is to get the engine and box mounting before the end on next month along with the cage and hopefully have the front end back on, things like the suspension and steering have gone through several changes mainly down to the steering rack and front ARB being leading . Depending how it works out the Jabba sport RARB will go on the front end with a TT FARB on the back. If that doesn't work then the Jabba will resume usual duties and a custom 25mm bar will be made for the front. Currently trying to source a BMW E36 quick rack at a reasonable price to take care of the steering which will work perfectly now i have changed the pulley on the power steering pump to a E36 item curing the light steering issue from the previous build. Once the front end is sorted the real work can start on the back fabricating the custom rear sub frame around the RX8 LSD. Deadline for the car is to be at Castle Combe for the Forge spring day next year, seems ages away but alot more to do yet. The 312's are off to a new home and now have a pair of Brembo's from Pug 406 V6 for the front which will be modified to work under 16 inch steels. A deposit has been taken on the motorbike and the guy is collecting over the weekend freeing up some much needed space in the man cave. Thanks for reading people much more to come

That is stunning.

Gobsmacked and speechless Ben! You're a genius with what you can create!

A decent E46 quick rack has been acquired, 3 turns lock to lock

i plan on doing some drifting sessions, haven't done it for a few years and never in a skoda

a little bit more done today more pictures tomorrow after some more welding

Good work!!

new seats should keep me and the passenger snug

another lunch break over and more progress made

Cage cutting day changed from Sunday to today, cage cutting day changed to fix brothers car day, FGF donating one of the rear drums and very soon the callipers. Won't have time for mine till some point next week to trail fit the cross member / measure and mark out the next bit

Spent the evening stripping down the impreza coilovers and the vr6 hubs ready for grit blasting, painting then rebuilding. The Brembo's have turned which again require the same treatment of stripping painting and rebuilding. Bushes ordered for the gearbox cradle arm which is next on the list after I finish the cross member

one un-caged FGF

Rain stopped the cage from being welded in last night but hopefully tonight will finish it off

What do you do for a living mate? You've clearly got some comprehensive fabricating skills!

I'm a composites / mechanical engineer so hopefully will have some more carbon fibre parts fitted soon

Are you any good with fitting body kits?
