I modified some H4 housings and installed led headlights in my 85. Took it for a drive a few nights ago and I'm very happy with it!

 

Why modify them?

There a lot of housings that work anwinsome guys in Face selling replacement sets that come with LEDsor you can install HIDs...

 

Perhaps he need the numbers on the headlamp lens to get the lamp streetlegal? In europe the sign called for example "e1"for german registration.

 

I modified them because the housings were a spare set i had for my Porsche 944. All I did was modify the mounting tabs so they would sit lower in the RX-7's housing and work with the trim ring. I didn't want HID's so I used led headlight bulbs similar to the ones I installed in my Porsche. Once I bought my 18 Camry, I fell in love with its led headlights. Naturally I had to try led headlights on my RX-7 and 944.

 

FB is out and daily driving.

 

 

I think you trimmed too much weight.

 

I'm trying to get rear weight-bias like a 911.

 

 

NIce 82......I've been thinking about Corbeau seats.....how do you like them?

Also...those center caps are bad ***....

That LeCar was the first manual car I drove when I learned as a kid......pretty cool....

 

Yes beautiful car and well-presented "mini build documentary" pics.

 

Looks like you are having A LOT of fun. Agreed, those center caps are excellent. Source?

And you might want to put some chalk on rear spring perch to see if you are hitting your bump stops prematurely...with the new lowered springs you might want to cut them down.

Nice!

 

Ive had the LeCar since 1986.
The center caps are custom made for me by as friend who is a graphic designer
​​
The seats are awesome. They drag the roof slightly but otherwise a good choice

 

I don't seem to be bumping or bottoming out on the RB suspension. The caps are custom made by a friend.
I do plan on 13B swap soon. Either Kurt Robinson or Atkins Rotary. Both are within driving distance for me. Right now I'm running RB exhaust, stock 12a and RB Holley.

7's day meet up at the famous Angeles Crest HWY

Front shot of the group


At Buttonwillow Raceway

 

 

Went to the beautiful Chuckwalla Raceway that is literally in the middle of nowhere on September19th. With some 108 degree weather and no shade. Good times! The car performed well, on the last session it started to bogg on me. Was loosing power took it out of gear and revved the engine up. Then the car was back to normal. Decided to end the track day there still had to drive home 3 hrs.

 

Easy now!!!

 

 

 

Glad to see the addition of a few more 7's to this thread!!!
