manntis-- i could be wrong, but ive browsed many japan rx7 sites and didnt see them. i think the ZG flares could easily be modified to fit our cars. i dont know this from personal experience. i will though if there isnt a better option in the near future.

 

how come we git the **** end of the stick........thay have a 12a turbo.......and thay stop shipping the 3rd gens in 95 what's up with that.

 

^^

That's what made RX-7 special here.

 

Because rotary repair shops were more plentiful in Japan, whereas North America was awash in rumours of having to rebuild the engine every 30K and other such BS. So for the NADM they went with a normally aspirated, fuel injected 13B with a broad torque band whereas in Japan they went with the 12At.

IMHO we got the GOOD end of the stick - the GSL-SE's 13B is one of the most reliable n/a rotaries ever made and, with RB exhaust, puts out decent power with daily driver reliability.

 

Man I love those GTX wheels

 

Thanks for the link.

Damn I need some 15x7 +25 or maybe +10 mesh wheels!!!

 

top link! those last few pics of the interiors are insane lol. im now thinking about cleaning up the inside of my doors, painting them and just going with no trims :P maybbbe lol. some cool ideas there, and great to see such a following in japan

 

No trims looks a bit average..but on the other hand these babies are hot

 

Another shameless self-promotion by Fibremaz! not that anybody's annoyed by it, mind you. Carbon fibre is all the rage these days...

 

why do thier radiators look different? what year radiator are they using and how are they mounting it? wheres do they have the oil cooler

 

Thats how it always is with japan and us. They have the nissan skyline gtr and we have maybe 300 in the country. They always have the better version of cars that our made their and worse versions for us.

 

u know thats the same thing i was wondering actually, im assuming 2nd gen rad's looks like them to me

 

nice. there is another sight with those pics: www.22cworks.com

 

sick wit it

 

Yeah, that's the way a 2nd gen radiator sits in there. It's amazing how much more room there is in the engine bay doing it that way. I've still got to do mine.

Man, I love that site. Pure first gen heaven.

 

That was AWESOME!!
Thanks for the link!
I actually dont mind the look of the rear bar with the moulding removed as it gives it a bit of a racing look... But incomplete nevertheless!
Just gotta get me some of those datsun flares!!!

 

How many of you noticed that the "Savanna RX-7" (similar to the "Mazda RX-7" emblem on US cars) emblem is only on the passenger (left) side of the JDM cars?

Saw several Series 2 cars with Series 1 rear bumpers. I guess that's a "look"?

Took me a minute to figure out what was odd about the white Series 2 here and several pictures following. It's the window frames on the doors. They've been flushed with the body, drip rails removed from the roof, and polycarbonate windows with slide-open openings flushed into the doors. Shaved door locks, too. Very slick.

Definitely some sweet first gens there. I've got to get me a set of those early IMSA/ZG-style fender flares...

 

i would also like to know where they get those hoods from I've only seen a couple in the states.

 

Lots of SA bumpers on FB's Glad I'm not the only one.

What's up with removing the SA bumper trim strip? Seems like every one I saw was removed.

 

Whoa awesome pictures. They keep them in much better condition there than here. Either that or too much pride to show up with a beater. Nonetheless there were some crazy lookin cars there. The last and most interesting was the pressure chamber with the 4 injectors shooting in it. As for the hoods it's not really anything special and you could get it done at pretty much any hotrod shop. Louvre's like that were big in the 50's on rat rods

 

So many nice 1st gens in one place!
