FC resto/cruiser build up
I just got back in the FC game with my resto/cruiser build up on a 1988 rx-7 gxl 2+2
im not going to crazy on this one , my goal is a nice sunday cruiser for tearing up all the mountian roads out here but still have a/c and all the goodies for comfort (im getting old...lol)
the car has 85k org miles and everything works (cruise/ac/aas/sunroof)
mods so far:
Corksport Rad./ Shroud combo
VINSPEED intake box (not installed yet) with cold air
6 port sleeves from rob
pre cat delete pipe
no name catback (pretty quiet)
springs
Short Shifter w/ real mazdaspeed CF ****.
re amemiya plug wires
some stereo stuff (3amps/kicker sub/EQ custom mounted/mids/highs)
bunch of new window trim/int. plastic stuff
Bride seats ergo II
17's speedy lite wheels
MINT S5 tails
mods coming soon
RB header (or SDJ if i can find one)
custom cat back (not to loud)
Rtek ecu upgrade
momo wheel
coilovers (stance maybe IDK)
Corksport intake tube (TB to AFM)
I'm hoping for around 180-200 hp all smog legal.
CARB legal street ported S5 motor with all the smog stuff on so i can Ref' it
some pics of how it sits now

I would say that with a cone and the vinspeed drawing cold air (like nick1986's) would make a few ponies more than a stock set-up ,i picked up a few MPH in the 1/8th on my old n/a with a new intake.

Nice setup, I have that same shroud/ rad setup but I haven't installed it yet, I saw that you have a water temp. gauge, so did you notice a difference before and after the install?
Do you happen to know if those air boxes are still being produced? I was gonna make my own out of fiberglass, but that piece has always looked much nicer to me. (Nevermind, found a thread on TeamFC3S.)
