my new project, my 91gxl

hi everybody, well this is my 4th rx7 i owen and my long term project that im working on. this is my 91 gxl that i pickup january locally for 500 bucks. the car was running last year until the last owner blew the motor, then it was on a storage accident over the winter when the roof of the place when down on several cars including the rx7. theres some damage on the roof, hood and rear. the last owner try to fix it but gave up on it and put it for sale. i decided to get it because the car is complete and is fixable. in the past few weeks i fix a few things.

heres the pics of the car when i got it






and heres some recent pics of it




my plans for it is keep it simple. nothing fancy, no wide body or wide expensive wheels. im planning to just put a mazdatrix lip

mazdatrix please dont get mad at me about the pic

and drag 16x7 inch wheels


plus since im planning to do alot of autox with it, im doing coilover and swaybars and bushings. im still deciding wich and what to use yet.

new pics of my frankenstien engine




i finally decided im going turbo. heres the pics of it. i call it a frankenstien because it have pieces of all the gens and series. start out is a mild street ported 3rd gen irons, intake, oil sistem, oil pan. S4 N/A rotors, mild street ported housing couterweight and N318 flywheel, GSLSE Eshaft, S5 n/a startionary gears, S5 turbo front cover.


3rd gen intake. i love this intake. i ported, gasket matched and polished it

S4 jspec turbo II tranny, i dont know if theres a difference betwen the us and spec

S5 turbo that came with a TO4B front cover, is not a BNR turbo, came out of a Jspec motor.

i keep you guys updated
