A great alternative to ZG fender flares!

The body kit is a Versatec kit by BIS SmartParts. Originally made for Mazda of Switzerland, it's a urethane kit, so it'll hold up to the bumps the car will take in auto-x. You can see a pic of this kit installed on a stock RX-7 in the book "How to Modify your RX-7" on pages 130-132.
The kit originally came with a front air dam, side skirts, rear side skirts, and a rear wing. I don't have the wing, but I wouldn't have used it anyway...I like the stock 3-piece IMSA style wing better.

More flare ****. Front and rear driver's side installed. Still will need finishing, but you get the general idea. Remember that the flares, body kit/air dam, and rear wing will all be body color. Then I have a little something else in mind (TBA at a later time).

I did some research and figured out that these are Western Cyclone II wheels (14x7). You can see them here.
And http://www.ebay.com/itm/280Z-Four-Western-Hurricane-Cyclone-wheels-rims-1977-280-Z-/111396077631?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheels&hash=item19efb9403f&vxp=mtr (not mine...just went there to see if any were there once I figured out what these were).

Hawk,
I am too...unfortunately, those wheels will have to wait for proper tires, which won't happen until the car's out of paint. One thing at the time.
My suspension setup:
- GSL-SE front spindles and rear axle/disc brakes/LSD
- Bilstein AE86 shocks in the back
- Tokico Illuminas (MR2 versions) in the front
- Eibach lowering springs (150 lb) in the back. Too high now...will cut dead coils to lower it once the flares are done
- GC coilover sleeves and camber plates. Springs are 350s.
- RB front sway bar (no sway in the rear)
- polyurethane bushings in the front for everything
- custom Coleman lower trailing arms w/heim joints
- stock upper trailing arms with the bushings "softened" by drilling some holes in them
- custom Coleman watts links w/heim joints
Not suspension per se, but helps with handling:
- new OEM steering box
- Moog idler arm
- new pitman arm (wasn't necessary, but I was on a roll)
- new inner/outer tie rods
- new OEM front lower control arms
