My RX-7 Project Compilation Video

Let me know what you think. Don't worry, I'm no stranger to people telling me how I killed the car.

I have more stuff to add, probably in a month or so I'll update the video with more pictures (including pictures of a much cleaner looking engine bay!).

Click 'Watch in High Quality', it should look a bit better.

Nice. I remember the 'pop goes the rear end' gif, that was funny.

I'd much rather see a clean, well-built FC with a V8 than a stock FC riced to hell.

^It still amuses me, but I think it's too big for the sig rules on here.

It should look/perform better this year. I was running stock brakes/pads (which apparently had 3 pistons out of the 8 seized on the front) and stock suspension (seemed to work for weight transfer though haha).

Here's what didn't make it into the video yet (Koni Yellows are supposed to come in so once I get those I'll add everything to the video):













It should be even more fun with all that stuff.

Also, the engine bay should look much cleaner this year. I'd be done with the wiring already but I broke my arm snowboarding last week (doh). Most of the above stuff (including MMR bushings front and rear) aside from the suspension is already on the car.

A semi-decent looking engine bay has been a long time coming. It's something I was working on before I broke my arm. I will add pictures of the engine bay in the next month or two once I get a chance to finish it up.

Dang it. Can't watch it until I get home. I'm at work and they don't like us visiting youtube.
