Full car body with motion

[Sim2Go]

Lets not waste time and gather some parts while fixing issues with RX8.

This time got beams cut to precise lenght to save half a days work cutting them with angle grinder. Main frame size will be 460 by 190, a little shorter than previous.

Lets use experience and do things a little smarter and more customizable, meaning more hole drilling and a little less welding. Making platform adjustable and easy access to mount various car bodies is necessary.

This time around well done body suspension will be of a challenge. Hopefully, make things the right way as always intended.

Picked up nice body with blown engine for next thing. There are plenty to-do's, will start with welding up basic platform to play around with TL axis.

Took engine out without draining AC line, coolant pipes, should be able to convert into working one. Mounting compressor with 220v engine and joining circulation system might be easiest work as some sensors might need workarounds.

Removed rear shock absorbers and drained front ones giving car all the bounciness. Removing engine made front of the car make quite a lift. I'm thinking about custom coil-over's for making right suspension and fitting actuators most compact and least effort requiting way possible.
Solving movement and suspension will give time to work with interiors to keep them close to stock. Nice android player might be solution for GranTurismo motion, sound system and over-all car control.

It feels really good spending time in garage

Some changes for season for RX as well.


Recoated wheel feels great in hands.



Had to re-do coverings and re-paint as winter salt did no good.


And added passenger seat with monitor in front.
