Brakes and suspension
I am currently fabricating custom control arms with rx8 fronts and thunderbird rears. So that’s how I got five bolts and bigger brakes.
It looks like you are using stock control arms, what is your secret?

Thanks for the update! Those are some HUGE tires! I'm getting started on my swap with a V8 Roadsters tubular front subframe and SN95 accessories (in a NB). Thanks much for all of the pictures!!

Congrats on the start-up and first drive!!! Sounds FANTASTIC!
Thanks for your response to my oil pan question. So you started with a Canton (first post) and ended up with a Champ deep sump? Looks like you seriously modified the headers, but got a 4 to1 to clear the frame, oil pan and bellhousing.
Nice work!! Glad several of us still have active projects. :-)

The Canton fit, but I could not fit the 1 7/8" tubes around the T sump.
The Champ oilpan offered the same if not better oil control features and capacity with better clearances.
