I could be wrong but the front rims look like CCWs. CCWs are a good choice but not cheap.

looks good, but your car doesnt have the same kind of appeal as it did befor. its no longer the hagard drift beater but a more agressive functional drift car used for track days only... as im sure you must scrape that front end on every thing! and is it the real uras kit or a replica?

I have heard that you can just take a grinding wheel and cut the lip then bend up. However if you are not painting you car after you need to be really carefull or else you might screw up your paint on the outside.

This is what I plan on doing.

Putting aside my normal revulsion for local drift and tuner "culture" -

What do you intend to use that thing for? At the current ground clearance, I don't think you could actually drive it to the track, and it is far too low to even get it on a trailer to tow it there! Lawn Sculpture? Driveway Queen? At Bremerton I think there are seams in the pavement big enough to tear the nose off! At Pacific if you dropped a wheel or got anywhere near the curbing on the back you would have a naked Rx-7 and an exploded pile of fiberglass shards!

lawn ornament.

























seriously, you gotta have faith. putting my contempt for what a "cool" rx7 seems to go for around here, the hesitation to go beyond factory and stock specs, as well as this "tuner" culture you speak of, on the side, I think things like absurd ride height, obscene camber, and ridiculous suspension components/settings/alignments are best appreciated when it applies to your specific motorsport. It's an "acquired taste", if you may...

In any case, to answer your questions, we have our ways...and trust me that the concept of broken aero does not escape us. In all concensus, this is most probable.


I guess, it's just a "drift" thing.



Thanks for your concerns.

Hipari isn't just a "drift" thing, it's also a euro thing, but they don't call it by hipari obviously.

But in your case, I'll say the hipari is for the dori dori
