Imsa rx7
 

I thought i would post a few pics of the car painted. I am about 90% done after 3 years. Needs minor details. Will post more pics soon

Beautiful!!!!!!!!

Please post more pictures and specs!!!

looks amazing!

great job!

Is the interior painted black?

And I agree with the above - MOAR PICS.

what's under the hood.....:ponder:

YES, also, sick body work+paint. Few things are more badass than an IMSA widebody. Very nice.

Nice work. Lots more pics. Dammit I need one of those rear spoilers.

imsa rx7
 

Its has

Ported t-2 motor and tranny, microtech, etc

Re speed coilovers, panhard bar, etc

Directfreak: the only thing i painted were the door panels, and the middle is covered in suede

As stated i have a few items to go, but its like 90% there, its a rough ride for the street as the suspension is pretty much setup like the race cars. I only drive it a few times a month.

One thing missing is a nice turbo and manifold, i have a hybrid stock turbo on there now.

i am thinking a GT-35 as i want low rpm boost, any suggestions

Cant go wrong with a GT35.

I still want more/better pics though.

more pics
 

Here are 2 more. I had hip surgery earlier this year so the car was sitting for awhile. I plan to finish it the next couple of months. Notice my emergency brake, lol(one of the few things to do)

Also i have 2 front fenders brand new for sale like the ones on my car if someone wants them. I am not going to use them

tire/wheel size?

wheel size
 

17/11.5
17/9

Larry, that car is super sexy! you've done a GREAT job modifying and maintaining it! how does it drive?

drive
 

It drives great a little rough as it has 300lb springs on the back and the 315 tire does not help.

What you do notice is the tremendous downforce the car has on the highway. It sticks to the road. The body kit on it is no joke, they raced it for a few years like 79-83 then went to wider front and different flair on the back.

Its actually functional not the BS bodykits people put on cars these. I have friend who raced in the 70s and 80s .

Its funny he saw the car and started explaining to me about body kit. The wing does not extend past the back bumper do to IMSA regulations. I remember watching them race as a kid.

Mazda rulled GTU from 79-86 with the 1st gen

The car is really nice. All mods done tastefully and no cutting corners. The only thing I would change would be the turbo and manifold(more power), but drives great now.

Looking to do a Porsche 911 retro project, so I am thinking about selling. Will list in the for sale section later with price, if anyone is interested please PM me. No trades, want to sell outright. If you know these cars and whats done to it, its not cheap to build a car like this. Car is garage kept(of course)

I want that car so much

You know with the Re-speed coilovers you can fix that rough ride issue easily. I hate rough riding cars but want good handling. I have Re-Speed coilovers and anti-sway bar with softer springs and with a couple of little mods to perfect to suspension geometry (roll center) it out handles many more stiffly sprung cars.

Yeah, you really over did it with the spring rates for a car that will see the roads. Run softer springs (150/275), but balance it with nice swaybars (I run the Respeed up front, 3 point adjustable on rear). That will get you great handling, without the bruised kidneys to go with it.

What I described above is my setup, which totally kicks ass on the autocross course. But I can still drive it to work everyday, take it down south to Georgia and the Carolinas every year, etc.

Might be something worth considering. :)



.

what kit is that? Car looks like a batmobile!

Imsa^. In the title.

I would love to rock some CCW classics on my car.

will keep an eye out for your future for sale post, interested to see what you list this at. good luck w/ the porsche project and i'm sure it'll come out just as beautiful as this rx7.

Nice.
