OK. I would like some advise on my 1986 rx7 base. I want to do like a classic look but retro at the same time. it has the ugly s4 tails and some graphic that the prev. owner had put on :\ its lame. i will have pics up also everything should be functional no pointless body kits or anything...just let me know please all opinions welcomed.

 

id say just a repaint... keep stock S4 tails cuz s5 on s4 looks worse in my opinion. Just add a nice lip to it, drop and some nice wide wheels and should be real nice. upgrade the headlights to h4 housing, put some nice bulbs in there.

 

thanks i have wheels and stuff ill have the pics up soon :O

 

plz keep ideas coming guys!

 

If you are starting with a base car just getting the foot work together should kieep you busy just stay away from body kits.

 

foot work?? ill have my pics up soon like today!!

 

Get the suspension work all done like some good struts. Turbo/convertible brakes and hubs things like that to get the handling up. Then possibly do a TII engine swap then it will all be functional.

 

foot work=stance=low offset wheels and drop with proper angles= Great Success!

 

sounds like a good idea the pics will be up i just have to borrow a camera from my girlfriend :P....... what brand of shock springs and suspension etc. ?

 

check this out, pretty much stock body, but great wheels and stance:



so nice. You're going to get a lot of differing opinions on suspension brands, just shop around and read reviews.

 

Just get some stance gr+'s or bc coilovers. There both hella dope. I'm doing a s5 bumpers and molding on my vert. Just look arond and get some ideas from some pics

 

thanks i have a idea of what i want i just don't know what brands are good :\ i have been reading reviews about some suspension parts and some of the prices scare me all together i would be like 800 for just suspension not even wheels tires and other things i only got this car for 800 bucks but shes a keeper ill definitely have pics up tomorrow so you can see it!

 

Yeah I got my vert for 600

 

that's awesome my next car will be a vert but my buddy might buy it tho I'm not really into verts to much but he is i and i have a spare engine to rebuild and slap in there... we will attempt to turbo the n/a its should be nice.... what brand of springs should i go? also what shocks and struts to complement ?

 

i was thinking a nice eibach springs with some tokico shocks or kyb adjustables

 

Bride seats
Safety21 Roll cage
Zeal coilovers
ENDLESS brakes
Get some sick wheels too, and a paintjob.

 

IMO, as far as looks. Lower it, get a lip, get some nice wheels with good fitment and offset, then repaint it.

 

and good sticker fitment.

 

Great parts but if op is worried about $800 suspension parts I dont think some of these items will fit his budget...

OP are you going to post pics or what?

 

What are you talkin about... Endless Brakes are cheap!

 

yea sorry guys the pics should be up tomorrow ive been working my *** off to make payments for the 8 not to mention this project and my na/turbo that im starting to contenplate.......ill have them tomorrow for sure oh and thanks for all the feedback.

 

sell the FC and just tune/drift the 8

 

i cant do that! i love both cars the 8 is my daily and the 7 is my classic that i want to bring to shows not really drive it to much like non rainy day stuff like that but if you know anyone selling a vert. in FL pm and lmk but til then i've come to the conclusion light mods to exterior and moderately modded suspension/wheels and tires.!

 

desent quality
