Post Some Pics of your FC! :D <- Pics of your car go in this thread!!
It's so clean and beautiful. What's with the mirrors though?Mirrors have seen better days. Passenger finally broke on the road 2 days ago, literally. I picked up two nice ones on ebay for $70, I just have not gotten them painted yet.
LOL! yup. Someone spent some money to repaint that car... Not sure why... But I guess people say the same thing about us...

Been running, had wastegate issues but its all good now. Going back to the dyno very soon just to get a number. Car is running super, installed that wideband after the last dyno session and it allowed us to get a great road tune. The street tune is what really makes the car enjoyable to drive not just WOT

First off, excuse the sleepy eyes. They were like that due to my HID retrofits. That has since been fixed so they're up at full height now.
Always a work in progress. Right now it just needs to be tuned and a few other little things. Alas, it's about winter, so I won't be driving it until next year.

not the "hottest" topic around here
Doesn't look too bad to tune, who tunes it for you? I just tuned a big turbo 350z w/ utec piggy back and was able to put down an extra 50WHP compared to the "professional" shop tuner lol What's your WHP goal? IDK if I asked you this already, I'm just curious 
This is still just a stock short block, good dual springs, a cam, pushrods, and a lot of fuel. Only running 15# which will be maxing out my 2 bar MAP/OS. At 15# I'll be out of turbine. The TC76 is only 68mm on the turbine wheel. The next upgrade will be something like a Precision 7675 and I think at that point I'm at the limit of the turbo kit... so unless I want to redo it, I'll need to be happy which I definitely should be. That will do over 900RWHP on this setup.
If I can see 9's I will be very happy, but I've never driven down the race track and like I said, it's not legal. I'm sure there will be some bugs, but it's a pretty cookie cutter setup other than being in an RX-7
Carl @ CJ Tunes is my tuner of preference. He exclusively does LS tuning - road tuning only, though. I don't think the car will be all that impressive on the dyno... maybe 600-650WHP... I'm wondering what it will run at the track (not legal for how fast it will run, but I will still try). It's a street car first and foremost. Since it's an auto with an unlocked converter they just don't dyno well. It's only a 2 speed transmission.

That's not bad at all. I swear road tuning car be more beneficial than a dyno tune, depends on the dyno of course
I want to see it in person, I hope to have mine running by spring. I'm hoping for 300-400 whp, should be enough for my to go drifting.
