|
You don't see green cars anymore.
|
that is very nice green the next car i get i should paint it like that. or my dads f-150
|
Nice FR'S, how original.
Cool sev though man :) . Too many aussie rotors with simmons IMHO |
haha yeha i know..i guess thats one thing our cars are known for..simmons and rotaries go hand in hand...they are a nice looking wheel, but fukn expensive though at about 600 odd for a rim minus rubber..however these were on the car when i bought it, all my rx7s have had simmons on them, but just the style changes...ive changed alot of things since then..will get some more pics up when i get the car back from the shop.
|
Really nice car, can we be graced with some more pics please?
Good luck with the front rotor firing! |
|
Sweeeet ride meng!!!Love the Simmons too!!
|
Damn...I love that color. That car looks Great!
|
cleaner without the white striped tyres!
|
hey guys! i have a few small updates!
the list includes another microtech to replace the fried one, its still an LTX8 which is what was in the car to begin with Highflowed series 4 turbo, which conists of a Garrett AiResearch t04 front cover, with a series 4 exhaust housing, so it should bolt straight up to the existing dump pipe/exhaust manifold, braided lines and hoses 42mm garrett external wastegate and 2 extra 12a turbo fuel injectors [IMG]https://img204.imageshack.us/img204/...mage033se0.jpg[/IMG] hoping to achieve the 300hp mark, so ill see how we go! And to the guy above, thats awesome to hear someone actually has my car as their desktop background :hahaha: :icon_tup: |
Excellent paint job. I do like the new tires black wall tires better. Thanks for posting a bigger pic.

|
Very nice car. Wouldnt have thought that the green would have been such a nice choice on color. Works our great!
|
thanks for the comments guys! yeah fingers crossed she makes 300, even at least 270hp will be good!.
the car arrived at the workshop yesterday (friday in australia) so in a few weeks she should be all ready! |
turns out the microtech was a dud :icon_tup: :confused: ...so its still getting sorted at the moment...hopefully have it in for the turbo work this week!
|
Sweet looking ride! What are the lil black gizmos on the bumper? Headlight washers? Deer chasers?
|
they are actually kangaroo sights, you just gotta line them up with the kangaroo and whammo! haha! nah they are actually headlight washers, didn't US spec Rx7s come with them?
|

I've not seen them on US first-gens, no. |
Nice car. I like the color.
BTW Canada had the washers but not the US. |
small update, the car made 248kw at the wheels with the setup on it, still plenty more left in it. The cars now off the road, i sold the simmons off it, and have another set of wheels in mind now, i also blew the clutch in it :icon_tup:
Heres a youtube vid of the dyno run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=953fN6W5XZY |
