Hi All

Welcome to the build.

The plan is to build a 400+hp car using the renesis engine.

As some of you are probably I have purchase Graham's old track car with Peripheral intake and Exhaust ports in the engine as well as a host of other mods.

I already have a NOS kit with plates and controller...

So about a month ago I got the keys to my Kuro RX8 which came with the 40th anniversary rims, hence the nickname (I however was not smart enough to think of it). Ever since I got it I have been umming and ahhing over what I wanted to do with it.

So I finally decided today on what my vision is. And...

You might see where this is going, when I say that the first thing I bought for the project was this Nissan leaf motor stack....

It's been a while, but I thought I would put up a few pictures of what I'd decided to start on with the R3 since lockdown started.

First was a set of PZ wheels that needed a bit of a refurb:

And a new set of tyres to go along with it (RainSport 5):

One trip to Wheel Genie in Huntingdon for a...

I just don’t even know what I’m thinking anymore :lol:
It runs.....just about......but is very lumpy and doesn’t like being revved.
It’s had god knows how many owners in the last few years all trying to get it to work, clearly none have got it right because it’s killed 2 engines from over...
