FC rx7


Pic above from the rear of the car is courtesy of my awesome girlfreind :P




Ok guys so here is my fc. Its currently in getting a new steam pipe manifold as my old stainless one decided to crack around the wastegate at the last comp i entered. Didnt even get past qualifying so i was pretty annoyed but it was awesome fun doing 4 car trains in the wet :P

So the list of mods off the top of my head so far include

88 Fc rx7:

Engine:
  • dowled

  • bridgeported

  • race apex seals

  • bigger secondary injectors

  • PWR Front Mount Intercooler

  • massive turbo

  • steam pipe manifold (when i pick it up)

  • microtech aftermarket ECU

  • Alloy air difuser between front bar and radiator top

Suspension and Drivetrain:

  • HSD adjustable coilovers all round

  • Extra lock spacers

  • DTSS eliminators (rear steer disablers)

  • Solid engine mounts

  • Solid Gearbox mounts

  • Solid Diff mounts

  • Steel front diff mount (getting fabricated when the new manifold gets put on)

  • Alloy cradle bushes (instead of normal rubber ones for less flex :P)

  • Cusco 2-way LSD (nice and clunky haha)

  • Standard brakes with awesome rear pads that lock pretty easy when i pull the handbrake

  • Short shift (currently has standard shifter fitted as i was trying it to see what i prefer)

  • Custom made 5-puk button clutch with custom pressure plate

  • Custom billet alloy flywheel (super light)
  • Cradle adjustments that im not sure what they do

  • Rear Camber bar

  • Zauber rims and a few other skid rims like 32 skyline wheels, cheap 15" things, territory rims

Interior:

  • Stripped from behind the front seats

  • Cusco 7 point roll cage (4 point fitted untill i can get some Bride seats for it :P)

  • Handbrake drift button (so my rachet doesnt keep the handbrake up haha)

  • $30 cash convertors stereo with $50 MTX 6x9s in boxes jammed behind the front seats

  • Boost and oil pressure guages (will replace with a full set of defi's one day....)

  • Turbo timer that doesnt work but works great as a voltage meter haha (have a Brand new Apexi one from Jland that i got given one night although havnt had a chance to fit it yet)

  • Odysey Dry Cell Battery in a alloy PWR battery box

  • Cheap steering wheel that i will one day replace with a nice Nardi Deep Corn or something similiar

Thats pretty much all that i can think of off the top of my head. Im sure there is more in there that i havnt found yet haha.

Some things i want to get done in the future include:

  • LS1 conversion (if the rotor dies this is soooo happening haha)
  • Nardi Wheel
  • New rims
  • New exhaust

  • Bride Seats

  • Full cage

In the next few weeks after i pick this up from the rear cradle mods and the new manifold this will hopefully be getting painted WRX blue and i shall be buying new rims for it. Looking at cheap Zenkai rims which i will get powdercoated fluro orange to go with the blue paint and then getting a heap of sponsor decals made up for the while side of the car once its painted as i should have a sponser then :P


On with the pictures....if i can work out how to upload them............Oh wait the pictures are going up top....guess you will have to scroll back up :P Cant even tell i painted both front quarters with aerosol cans :P
