Project Log: 85 Rx-7 GS [Pictures]
Well since i finally bought decent digital camera, I've decided to show of my car a little.
85 GS Sunbeam Silver ~120,000KM on Odo. -Restored all broken stock components - Original digital radio with 10" sub hidden in bin - 12A Original Engine, No leaks. - Stock Alloy rims wrapped in Pirelli P3000 - RB Header, Presilencer and RB Primaflow Muffler - RB Torque Brace and Headlight Cover - Fire extinguisher! First a few general outside pics: http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0599.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0605.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0609.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0634.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0691.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0713.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0574.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0764.jpg |

^^^ DAMN THATS CLEAN!!! DAMN THATS NICE!!!! hey i have the same head lights. Keep up the good work mang!
|
Damn!!! That is one clean 1st gen. You should be very proud.
|
I also have a Racing Beat torque Brace. Made quite the difference, and i put washers on the firewall side
to really minimize vibration. http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0578.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0587.jpg |
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. http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0552.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0556.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0548.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0630.jpg |
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. http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0659.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0661.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0759.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0782.jpg |
Finally, my lighted RX-7 rear hatch striker logo. During the day it is black with white lettering, but at
night: http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0745.jpg And the important part: http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7%20Small/DSCN0666.jpg 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?

How did you do the RX-7 latch in blue like that? |
Damn clean. Makes me want to get a Rx-7 for a driver and not mod it as crazy as I have in the past.

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! |

absolutly fabulous my man, excellent work, i love it all, but the light up rx-7 hatch thing is the greatest!
|
I have the same vented headlight cover. Did you have a difficult time removing the 4 screws that hold it on. I got two out ok, but the other two screws won't budge. Any suggestions?
|
all i can say is WOW! I really dig the interior, I can't wait until I get the dash and interior out of my 84 put in my 82, and it's the same color too. what are the rims you got and how much ?
|
Looks fabulous! The paint is so clean. IMHO the fog lights have to go, they look okay, but really stick out and ruin the clean lines of the car. Maybe change to round to match the headlights?
|
Man I love that Blue RX-7 Logo in the strike plate. It would be very cool if you detail how you did that. I would love to copy it.

Next, get three LEDS, make a diffusion grating and then make contact poles so you can get power to it. If i get off my lazy ass i might take pictures later. |

I still can't picture what you did exactly. Looks good though. http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7 Small/DSCN0794.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7 Small/DSCN0792.jpg The contacts: http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7 Small/DSCN0795.jpg http://foxed.ca/RX-7/RX-7 Small/DSCN0796.jpg |

You need to basically dremel out the stock one, then put tape on the face and turn it over and pour in that epoxy shit that they use in craft stores for making thoese clear plastic coated wood stump tables. Then after that, sand the front down, paint the black part and cover it with clearcoat. t Next, get three LEDS, make a diffusion grating and then make contact poles so you can get power to it. If you notitce i used two pieces of spring steel, and two spade connectors I filed a little slot in the stud that goes though the window, basically so i could get the wires from one side other. The most important part is to make sure you get thin LEDS and I had to file mine even smaller. |
