NGS Racing Mazda Rx7 Honda turbo Sports Sedan

Postby MrBoost » Wed Jul 23, 2014 1:57 pm

Here at NGS Racing we are building a new Mazda Rx7 Sports sedan to compete in the Kerrick national series.
Our sole aim is to win the series..... you have to aim for the stars if you want to at least land on the moon right :)

The basics of the car at present are

Series 6 Rx7 shell
Tube frame chassis
Honda K24 4 Cylinder Turbocharged engine mounted centrally in the car
Hewland SL 6 speed sequential transaxle
Pushrod suspension front and rear
6 pot AP front calipers with 390mm discs, 4 pot performance friction and 343mm rotors on the rear
Aim weight is 975kg as per category minimum

The car has a facebook page which details the build so far, check it out at -

The build time is unknown due to time and money constraints. The recent rule clarifications are eagerly awaited so we can finish bdesigning and then building the car and know for sure what is legal and what isnt!
