Be fun to see you chasing Ryan's one around once it's built. 2jz also sporting a gt35. You have lots of carbon were he had just removed most of the shell and framed it out for skin panels

A circuit and drift car should have very similar grip levels. People don't realise how much grip is needed in a drift car.

Awesome, love the carbon additions and I agree with others, not enough RX7's about.

What's the purpose of the horizontal intercooler? Surely it would be better mount vertically right in the airflow?

 

[Cess]

Can't help you on the whys @Paul RS, but all WRC cars run intercoolers this way

Can't help you on the whys @Paul RS, but all WRC cars run intercoolers this way

I've seen them run at an angle before (Escort WRC) for example, just never totally horizontal lol

Your not wrong there bud, flow wise yes a front mount will get greater flow and with ease

The set up i run is called a V-mount, as you can imagine the rad and IC Form the shape of a V and once its all boxed in it will track a huge amount of cold air and distribute it evenly between the rad and ic.

Rotarys are renown for high heat so all helps. But not ruling out FMICS loads of rotor heads still run fmic and have no dramas but then all depends on the set ups and usage
