Damn, on 13 inch wheels if I went all the way to the lowest setting my chasis would be sitting on the ground. Nice looking ride man!

Go kart handling would be nice BUT thats why i have a go kart, wouldnt call it overly streetable. Bad enough over tiny bumps/curbs/rumble strips on the track
LOL

My turbo civic rides on 450 springs and its not as bad as you might think

The shocks were custom valved for the springs

Absolutely well put together car. Even though that wing is not one I would choose, it fits the rest of the body mods exceptionally well. 2 questions, what are the bolt on medallions in front of the RX7 logo on the fenders and why the red lights under the rear roll pan? I take it that the front lip is for brake cooling ducts?

Keep up the great work and post some interior pics. If it's done 1/2 as well as the exterior, you have one hell of great modded 7.

Thanks the wing is either love it or hate it! although it does sweap round in line with the rear screen nicely
the medallions you speak of are side indicators blacked out and the 2 rear red lights are fog lights (you need them to be legal in the UK)
the front is a FD S6 splitter that fitted quite well, when i go T11 brakes i will be ducting them yes
