he just completed his

 

hopefully he can post pics, I'm planning on getting both for my project car, be nice to see what the hell it looks like first

 

who gives a **** about what it looks like??

Will it make the car handle better???
YES!!!

So do itl

 

hehe no kidding I dont care what it looks like does it handel good and what is the cost on that kind of setup?

 

i ordered Jims Tuning guide the otehr day...I can't wait to start reading into it.

I will be finding out what i will be needing for what i want to do.

 

Woah there sparky.... i think he just wants an idea of how it all goes in and stuff, i dont think hes worried if it looks pretty....

 

i know dude,
damn, you are right on me on that.

just making a point jeeze

 

you know its all in good fun man

 

Yeah i dont give a **** what it looks like!


I was just wanting to mainly see the mounting locations for the panhard.

and how exactly the tri link works.


Poorly drawn MS Pint pictures are fine too!

 

sorry man i don't have any pics of mine (no camera). the installation directions that come with both have plenty of pics and excellent directions so you shouldn't have any problems with getting everything in.

P.S. take out the gas tank like the directions say, you can't really get around that one!

have fun

 

Well i gues that gives me a good excuse to clean my fuel tank. be nice to get that 22 years worth of sludge and crap out of the bottom of it.

 

Take a look at Izzy's setup at Izzy's Custom Cages. Lots of good pics and source links for the parts.

thnaks man!! that helped alot!


I now know i am going to get the GSL-SE rear end before i put this thing in!

 

I've only got one picture from my install on a customer car. The only thing I'll add is to follow his directions COMPLETELY. It should take you about 2 hours to make sure everything is right, and about 30 minutes to weld and bolt everything in. Oh, and the 2-hours is with help.

The setup guide is pretty trick, too. Jim really knows his stuff, despite what two other RX-7 "setup experts" <cough>Mazdatrix/ISC<cough> say.

And you'll really like the handling difference. I know both owners of the car I put it on were amazed at the difference. One of them can almost keep up with me now in his superiorly-prepped car!

EDIT: The fuel cell is out of the car, so that's why you get such a clear picture of the setup.

 

ok guys calm down seriously. As greg correctly pointed out I don't give a **** if its pretty, and I am definatly getting it, cause I know it will make a difference. I just like to see what I'm getting into before I shell out $600. Just curious. calm it down Oh and those pics are exactly what I was looking for. Shouldn't be a hard install.

 

hmm, how do the ones posted in that link compare to the G Force parts? They are a bit cheaper. Will all this stuff work with the stock gas tank? I would assume it does

 

it will work with the stock tank, but you have to be very **** about the cross brase's location otherwise you will have problems.

 

I like Jims stuff. Just by talking to him on the phone i like him. very nice!

 

I agree, Jim (aka Gforce) knows his **** and specializes in our cars. What more could you ask for. I am nothing short of thrilled with his knoweledge, quality, support and friendlieness. And his stuff kicks serious butt too. I have the track bar, tri link and his springs along with the setup manual. I hope to get the advance shocks when I learn enough to justify the expense. Right now Im still an oaf in advanced suspension tuning so they would do me no good over my tokicos.

 

Did he not advise against using his springs with the shocks when you ordered? We were going to order the springs for said customer car but Jim said it wasn't a good idea as the shocks weren't up for his incredibly high spring rates. I can't remember what's on the front, but it's got Illuminas in the back.

 

once i get the book i will be able to studie up, and know what setup i will need.

I will be doing up hill and dwn hill mountain driving. think of pikes peak but paved and longer.

 

.

 

in jims book he says that 400 lb in the front and 275 lb springs in the rear is the stiffest you can go with tokicos. i guess i'll find out for sure when it warms up

 

Local guy here is running 300lb on the rear with the illuminas and hasn't had any problems with them blowing out. Of course I've never asked if he's had them revalved or not.

The link I posted for Izzy's is the same set up I believe he uses at the track in IT-7 down at St. Louis Gateway International.
