I also have a Racing Beat torque Brace. Made quite the difference, and i put washers on the firewall side

to really minimize vibration.

NACA Headlight scoop. I have yet to actually hook this up. Bought it from a guy on here named MarkPerez,

he makes them for $40. It was rather rough when i recived it so i took a few days if sanding and filling.

Next is my crazy hidden sub. I hacked away at a premade box and fitted it in. When off, you can't see it,

the camera flash made it visible.

Finally, my lighted RX-7 rear hatch striker logo. During the day it is black with white lettering, but at

night:

And the important part:

the alarm also added power door locks, which is really nice.


So, what do you think? Any ideas for a new addition?

Leave her the way it is visually at least. The 12A looks great too!! So that torque brace works well huh?

Yeah, everything I have changed, I have a spare to restore it back to stock.

What does it say on your glove box?

im very intrested in how you did the sounds does the sub gets its full amount of volume?

All I see are RED X's.

Your looks like mine only fancier & ya got all the hott lookin items plus mine is an 83 but im dropping a 13b w/dellorto carbs & a SE suspension. I like the ideas i see in here so i can make this FB better than the ones i had b4.

I will add pic's of the transformation in may once i begin starting a new job so i have to hold the money for a week or two

I do have the correct volume, I cut a premade box and then filled in the back of the cut with wood and dynamat. Sounds decent for the bass i wanted. All I was looking to do was add bottom end to the sound, and it does that nicely. With an aftermarket deck and better sub and amp, i think this would sound better, as now its not 'hear it from a block away bass' Then again, i wanted to keep it hidden and more original, and also, I only paid $200CAN for the whole setup....

Its that surgeons general warning that was in the lounge a few months ago, says something to the effect of rx-7 fumes are bad for your health, wear a gas mask or something or other is reccomended.


I like it!

wow! even the clutch fluid is sparkling clean!

wow.... veeeery nice

love the headlights

very nice car. I realy like the scoop.

With the exception of a couple I am still seeing a bunch of RED X's.
I've checked with 3 of my PC's. All the same thing. Can someone at least upload them to the Forum?

Here you go DR

These are most of the picture but not all of them

Thanks! Looks Great!.

How did you do the RX-7 latch in blue like that?
