Very clean car. That thing is a beast with the set up that you have. I like black wheels on red car, it give a little bit of contrast. Awesome job.

thanks guys,

Its taken me about 3 and half to 4 years to get it what its at today.
I agree with most, spacers for the rear are needed to fill the guards more!

There are 8mm spacers on the front planning to put 8mm on the rear aswell... The suspension im not really happy about, it is all over the place... they are meant to be standard springs, with koni struts... i think they are abit worn out...

The car just recently had a big miss to it when it came under load or more boost put into it, found out bad earth for the MT when the twin plate was being installed by myself.... *ooopps too tight* didn't realise the earth was arcking! it had also smashed a Coil aswell!

My mates S4 has a GT35/40 with 250rwkw atm, my car currently pulls 2 cars a gear, depending if its on boost or not... haha

Rough guess of any where between 260-290rwkw running off 14lbs wastgate spring.

Still yet to lean it out and connect the eboost2.. seaching for about 350-400rwkw... daily... then more with sp2 mode... hoping 650+hp even 700...

There is a local dyno comp coming up on may 31st i will put it on the dyno and see what shes got for now, and ill put the vid up.. and some more pics coming soon....

the mufflers are Redback mufflers with 3.5" chrome dump tips!

i don't have any martials to fab things myself! tho on the other hand ill be installing the LT10s sometime over the next week!

Coils are K-Sports i have heard good things about them, and meant to be just as good if not better then tein's...

DBA slotted and vented brakes should be on the way this week aswell!
Once all done with water injection etc, it will be givin a matrix tune on 23-24psi hoping any where from 550rwhp - 600rwhp.. woot!

where'd you get the rims from? they are awsome

are they just bolt on, or do you need other parts?

Alright, hey guys its been awhile since i have posted last...

there has been abit of a update since last time i have posted... not long after i had posted last i had trouble with rego, and the po po getting me in trouble, i had a nice little letter in the letter box, saying a report shows my Rx7 was too loud, low and my rear number plates have been cut??? LOL yer a joke i know... any ways it had taken me awhile to get my sht together but i finaly did, placing a stock turbo on her to pass the pits with flying colours after 4 STOPS passing rego.... after that it was rego'd tuned...

Remember i had a Lt10S installed (by myself) but i have no idea how to tune, so having one of the local guys here called ESP Extreme Racing with a fella called glenn (champ) where he tunes street dyno queen 900rwkw supra's and 570awka WRX... After watching him do a very good job on one of my mates Rx7's i though fk it why not....

going out on a limb not knowing what was going to happen, i got a call with the 1st thing him saying (you better call your engine builder) INSTANTLEY my gut sunk thinking (FK ANOTHER MOTOR) you guys know the feeling!!! haha any ways my response was "what happened" thinking the worst the reply was "oh nothing its all good but its making 312rwkw on 15psi at 5,500rpm on 12degress timing..." *him not having much experiance with rotarys usally 300rwkw on pump is MAX* "you better ask your builder how much timing to run on pump fuel (AUST 98RON) fuel" so i called back with the response of 8degress timing and 15psi... it ended up running 308rwkw with the AFR ratios 10.8... (photos attached)

So after that, i had ended up racing my mate that has a GT35/66 with 272rwkw... he had a AWESOME mod installed which was a 4.3 diff ratio, which had pretty much just transformed his car... from me having cars on him to him being right beside me... with me being so competivie i was not impressed i wasn't blowing his doors off with a T51R(not to mention it has SO much left in the tune), and having i come on boost at 5,000rpm and his pretty much instantley... (also saying that the T51R effeniceny is at around 18psi) This run was on pump fuel for both....

So now i have gone out to the expense of getting a NEW Aftermarket 1-WAY LSD, with 4.3 Ratios, also upgrading the fuel system to support 1000hp... (x2 walbro (GSS342, GSS341), aremotoive)

Also while i was at it i got some rear diff bushing aswell to stop that axle tramp... (pictures attached)

While i was doing this i though fk it ill go all out and complete it, get it ready for a high boost tune and finaly have a crack a 600rwhp+ @ 25psi
the motor now has 13,000km on it so why not?

So in order i placed a new low KM series 5 gearbox, repainted manifolds, heat wrapped the exhaust manifold, got a 16" SPAL EXTREME fan, and setup a COLD air intake system, also after i have run in the diff im placing a 4" dump pipe and heat wrap to keep bay temps down..

another big mod was pulling out ALL at rubber sht under the carpet!!!!! i swear the rubber in the boot weighs in at around 8kg... while i was at it i pulled the stereo out aswell and everything else that was heavy ; )

Last time i weighed the car with everything in the car it was 1200kg WET....
i have since pulled around 30kg of sound system and rubber sht! so im hoping 1170kg wet!!!

More updates and pictures to come!
