Mazda 20 B engine in SL-C

[Roger]

Love the details. That's one special car.

Here are my tail lights, the lenses are thick you grind to match the body. I am gluing them in today, Ill finish sanding them flush tomorrow. Here is a couple pics installing them.

Brake and tail are the triangle, blinker is one center, the other center is back up, all are very bright led's

Those tail lights are perfect for a rotary-powered car!

That's really cool Garry

 

[Ricardo Montalvo]

You're going to make me start appreciating rotaries. Stop it!

J/k- I love your build direction. Well thought out.

 

[Troy]

Freaking nice work! I cannot wait to see this thing completed.

 

[Garry 20 B]

Here is one side done other then polishing after paint.

 

[Jack]

In a word.....WOW!

 

[Garry 20 B]

Here are some pictures of the tail lights on, cant really get my camera set right for the pictures, and the lenses are just are finished off with 1200, Ill polish them before we primer the car.

The round circle in each triangle one is a blinker and one is a back up light. Yellow and white colors.

 

[Roger]

Nice. Bonus points if you can make them spin

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Hope the bulbs are made of better stuff than the Apex seals on my old rotary if they spin....:shocked:

The tail lights are LED's. Lambert light in Tenn is the guy who makes this stuff up, he has a standard line also of tail lights you grind to fit the body to make them flush.

 

[Garry 20 B]

I was bored this morning and got energetic and made these brackets to hold the head lights so you can use the existing hardware that comes with the lights.

 

[Yos]

Wow Garry! I'm really excited about your car. It's gonna be awesome...

 

[Garry 20 B]

Getting the body fitted and ready to paint, but here are the latest pictures, the rear defusier is powder coated, muffler in the right spot and mounted, finishing up the body tilt to miss the muffler.

Hmmm....looked around but didn't find anything. Is there video of this running yet?

Amazing job!!! btw

 

[Garry 20 B]

Thanks for all the compliments on my build if I haven't said so.

Ill make one next time I get it ready to start. Drained everything out when I had the alignment done it was like zero here when I haulded it in. Finishing up lining up the body, then Ill pull it off to get it ready for sanding and paint in the next couple weeks. As soon as the weather breaks here, Ill sneak it across the street and test it in the parking lot, there is a strip club across the street, so the parking lot is empty durn the day and the manager lets me test my bikes and cars I build there.

Here are some more pictures. The back end since the muffler is farther out then the body, I had to make the body lift up, slide back, then tilt. Had to put some more support in the back end, fiberglassed in some foam, and carbon fiber sticks, along with epoxing in some steel bar, very strong now. Needle bearing guide the sliding of the back end, clears the muffler and can tilt.

Put in a sound video, but I dont think it worked, when I tried it its black and no sound, must be doing something wrong.

 

[Garry 20 B]

sound but no picture sorry, Ill figure it out.
