ugh..

:AA:

 

That looks SICK......

So no mods are needed inside the fender wells? I see yours are cut BUT would they fit without the "mini Tub" you have?

L8R

 

^^^ yes the only thing that was removed was the actual tub, all of the suspension mounting stuff is all in the same place, and is the same distance as it would be on a NON tubed vehicle.

can we get a side shot of the whole car to see what hell of a face lift it did to the car? damn those look nice

 

i can take some side shots probably thursday, however realize i dont have the fronts on it yet, im waiting to get the stuff for my front 5 lug/big brake setup. but i guess a side shot will show the diff between 13's and 17's...lol

We can get an idea of how a funny car RX7 would look like LOL

 

hot shet mang. no need for the flares! let's see multiple pics of the car w/ the rims and engine bay.

 

+1 on the comment above thats what im waiting to see

 

While i do stand corrected and they do appear to be in there, how practical this setup would be for a street car is another question. From the looks of the rear wheel it seems that there is not much room for suspension travel...

Nevertheless it looks good

 

OK, that's what I want to see a picture of.

 

T2 what do you want to see the dyno plot or the engine? i've posted the engine SEVERAL times...however im a pic ***** of my car so heres both





and as far as suspension travel goes, realize i have adjustable coilovers...and they are VERY still (drift setup) so travel isnt really an issue.

Seems like you know exactly what you want to do with this car, and you are doing it. Props for that. Good luck with the rest of the build, keep us updated..

 

How much camber can you get without camber plates? Most drifters want like -3 degree camber for their front.

 

What I want to know is how hard it was to put that ka in there.

 

damn man!
i need to step it up and make some rear coilovers for my drift machine!
he he.
but first i need a 13b REW! or i could go KA like you..

 

wow I saw this and really didn't think they would fit.

my 17x8 barely fit, I have a pair of 17x9 I was trying to sell since I didn't think they would fit. This makes me wonder...

 

if you know how to measure out rim offsets fitting rims is alot easier...lol.


Justin - Camber/suspension setup is solely a personal thing, some people like 3 degrees, some only like 1.5 degrees. its just how you like the feel.

Dloven, putting the ka in was not hard, i did it the harder way though by making my own mounts 100% from scratch, i would recommend doing what some of the other guys are doing and using the 240sx subframes (never done it but people have?)

FBslider - STEP UP THE GAME!!! doing the coilovers was not terribly hard it can be done with ALOT less modification than i did, however im just an extreme kind of guy.

Why have you turned a mazda rotary into a nissan piston??


I get your extreme and prob into drifting but is there any advantage of doing this over buying and drifting a nissan?

Im not tryna diss you out man but imo the rotary engine is what makes the rx7.

 

i agree ^^^ rotary is what makes a rx7, if my rotary didnt crap out on me the first week i got it, i would have kept it in there, but there is ZERO rotary parts around here to fix the one i had, and i wasnt going to spend a couple g's to get a 12a running again, i had the nissan motor laying in my garage...so in it went.

~Nick

 

i think its awsome..
lets see some drifting..

you must have traction problems with the size of an engine?

 

dude. i completely support it...i'm looking at going sr but beautiful man- simply beautiful. form over function. kick the tires and light the fires....

 

I still dont see no matter what kind of coilovers you have that you will not bottom out with 1" of travel

 

looks great..cant wait to see all corners.

 

BOO FOR PISTONS!!!!!

 

^^^^wow that was mature


they are very stiff to say the least (335lbs rears) so im not worried about the travel in the least.
