That's a nice choice of bodykit. The best looking wide body.
What are you doing with the steering rack exactly? Would be nice to know.

Just having a new quick rack made. Plus the EPS isnt the best system for racing (in terms of feel and reliability).
Its a manual rack (2.5 turns lock to lock) but I'm fitting a powered column.
Not another NSX project!

Only removing underseal from the arches (leaving the floor pan underside). Mainly doing it for neatness and looks and easier to clean.
As its a race car (with occasional road) it will never see any salt!

Steering rack appeared from Titan this week. 2.5 turns lock to lock and only 4kgs compared to 14.5kgs of the original EPS rack! Custom steering rack from Titan appeared last week. 2.5 turns lock to lock and 4kgs compared to 3.2 turns and 14.5kgs of the original EPS rack!

Nice!
What ratio is the new rack and do you get the same "throw"? I'm wondering if it would work in a road car or if the turning circle would be too compromised :think:

New rack is 2.5 L2L and the OEM is 3.2 so its a much quicker rack but the travel is identical so same turning circle. But obviously the steering will be heavier - Im fitting a powered column for assistance.

I've been very slack updating this build thread (for more up to date info check out our facebook page -
http://www.facebook.com/pages/R-Motion/129954317045809
But there has been some progress.
- The chassis has been completely stripped and most of the underside soda blasted (more gentle than sand/grit/oxide blasting)
- Bodykit has arrived from Ken at FXMD
- Big box of parts arrived from Chris at SOS
- Lister air jacks arrived
Will get some pics up for parts ASAP but a couple of the soda blasting process:
