Wassup im jim from NZ!

Just got the net hooked up at my flat. Got a pic of my sev. Had a bit done to it, wondering what the common mods are in the US for 1st gen sevs?

 

Wow. That's a very clean SA. Mods on this side of the pond go from mild to wild pretty much. My mods are in my sig underneath, a few more things to come this year, then next year hopefully another $3-6K will get sunk into the engine and exterior. Get a few more pics, show us what your rockin under the bonnet.

 

Clean!
I'm gonna figure out a way to use that liscense plate number to make your car mine.
Gonna go on the intergoogle to figure it out

 

This should get you started. It is from the FAQ section

Q. What kind of mods can I do to my 1st Gen to make it quicker?

Haha gud luck making it urs bro it'd be great to have sumone to help pay for the bloody thing aye! thnkin bout whackn a 20b pp or 13b turbs in it but thats longterm haha! Dreams are free

 

Looking good, but not a fan of that front bumper. What is it off of anyways? Also what is the color? It seems to be blue with purple pearls in there

 

PEEPS!

 

^^^^ HAHAHA, I don't know exactly why, but that is awesome.

 

The front spoiler came with the car when i got it, its just a fibreglass mould. Gets owned by cats, judder bars etc. Had a massive wing on it which i took off cos sevs look betta without them. Yeh the colours blue with a purple pearl its a bitch 2 keep clean!

 

drop a monster turbo in there and get spooling!

I don't know about you guys but I like that lip on the front. Its really rare to see something that bolts up like that. I bet it would look a whole lot better with some side skirts to keep it more 'flow-y'.
Those rims are exactly what I want! What are they called?
Are those side mirrors the boxy ones from the 80's colt? It looks like the one that I got, but I only have the driver side.

 

Jim from Palmy! Mighty fine set up you got there....yea- go 13B Turbs! haha nah man I dig the NA set up just fine....hey you wanna be a hero and ship me some Speights?? jk

I actually got my first (and only) ride in an RX-4 just outside of Palmy- owned by some kids!!! clean too...you guys have got an amazing rotary scene..can't wait to see it again. Come 2011. AB's are taking the world.

^^

Those mirrors are sum custom carbon fibre things that the last owner pop riveted to the door panels and the a pillars. The rims are Lenso 17' RS5's. Cost me $1380 NZ brand new with tyres!

 

Just go to a pub Zach and buy a steinlager instead haha i think they export to tennessee! Theres a couple of rx4 coupes buzzn rnd palmy at the mo theres a mint silvery green one on simmons with a bridgy in it. My mates got an old 626 with a 13b bridgeport in it u can jst c it in the back of that photo will get sum more pics up.

I'm never watchin another All Blacks game again. Only just got over october.

 

I thought those were the european style mirrors. I might be wrong.

Clean car though, lots of money in it.
And the peep war was overkill. haha.

 

nice car and numbers man, you could hit high 12's low 13's with a turbo.

 

yeh if i am gonna turb it it'll b 11s at least. Got heaps of street rotors in NZ runnin low numbers on the quarter. 450hp wud b nice

 

can you post up a side pic of the car. id like to see some more pics of that front end.

 

I don't know why you're asking about mods, you've got most of us beat with your's. Only thing I might add is what have you done as far as struts/shocks and replacing the suspension bushings.

More pics are demanded, the one is just too much of a teaser to not want more.

If you don't have a copy of the FSM, the online bersions are in the link in my sig line. Welcome to the forum mate.

Cheers man

Must get round to taking more photos havent taken any in a while.
I waz curious to see what mods are more common in the US. Kiwi rotor tuners tend to go for a large port (bridge, J, or P-Ports) and Aussie tuners tend to go with big turbos. Mind you theres more old school turbo rotors gettin round here than therer used to be...

Suspension at the front is s1 rx7 struts shortened(machined) down 40 odd mm, compressed superlow springs with custom camber plates and nolethane(sp?) bushes, new lines and stuff too for brakes. All good for about 15mm travel haha!

 

thats a real gem you got there chief..

 

that is a very sexy sa. i love the rims. what car is beside it? can you get a close up on the rims?

 

The car beside mine is my mates old mazda 626. Hes done everything 2 it!
