Whizbang will become famous soon enough
sooo....

the stock geometry of the rx7 is garage. the MFR stuff doesnt use the weak sauce short top links because Mazda released they stuck too. Probably a product of packing the car and not have boxes and towers in the body work.

Anyway, that has to go. The small running of Rx7s in rally generally all suffered from sevrere oversteer issues at the limit. Millen's car was essentially a Ford Escort, atlas axle and all, with a rotary.

The plan then is to get my hands on a early 90s 4runner toyota axle, then clean it off, weld mounts and four link / panhard this car.

Also, the kia sportage pinion seal is leaking like a sive on my car, and gues what! you can't get replacement seals for it and its just different enough that the mazda one doesnt work! (fuck!)

Not looking good for Idaho Rally, but such is life, ill just codrive for the open light driver, Jeff, again. Having the car sorted and getting seat time is more important. Also Rally Car 3.0, may still be another Rx7 so i could transfer the bits. Maybe Rx8 engine!
