Thought Id Introduce Myselfe... And My Vert!

Hey everyone my name is Tony and I never really introduced myselfe to the forums. Ive had an rx7 for About 6 months now and have just recently bought a hardtop
Also thanks to you guys and your opinions on things this is what my convertible looks like now.















The reason why i bought a hardtop is because i like the way my car pulls now with the atkins rebuild and street port, exhaust, ect... but after doing some research if finally hit me! this car is kinda heavy so im pretty much going to swap the motor into my other 7 and i have a header and presilencer from racing beat as well as a greddy n1 single for the other 7 and i dont really know what i want to do with the vert im ethier gonna sell it with the other engine afret i rebuild it or just part it out i guess...

I want opinions to so spit!

17x9 +20 all around anly thing i had to do was roll the fender a little in the front and stretch a little... i know you guys hate stretching but hey i think it turned out pretty good and for 88$ apiece i cant complain

Curb checked em last week due to poor visibility on a road with a median

Not too bad though

Thanks guys i never thought you all would like the car like this... makes me want to keep the vert

But yeah to answer a few questions...

crx538 the car is lowered on Powered Buy Max Coilovers They are 1000$ brand new and i dont think you can find a beter entry level priced coilover for a better deal, The spring rates are 10kg front and 8kg rear so yes they are stiff but i love it and the dapening makes a huge difference (And thier not bouncy at all at about half stiffness all around) They can go way lower then i have them, I actually had them lower but had to raise up due to the wheels but now i have a lip on and the front bumper is 1" off the ground! If you want pics with the lip i made from home depot! just let me know

Travis V the rims are VoXX Missano silver with a chrome lip Of course 5x114.3 17x9 with a +20mm offset all around and the fit is awsome if you have caster adjustments on your suspension but you will have to stretch some tire in the front a little but in order to get them under the fender (BTW tires Are Federal SS 595 215/40/17 up front and 235/40/17 in the back The tires are made out of that same soft rubber that the Falken azenis are made out of so they don't chunk under heavy wheel spin and when heated up they stick to the road like glue) Its the only tire im ever gonna buy from now on due to its price being low and the performance being hella nice

Actually you can try different size exhaust hangers to fix that issue. Small parts stores will let you check different sizes without having to purchase.

mine lines up fine once all my hangers are on.....its just a total bitch to get the drivers side right muffler one for me. other than that a hammer would do it

i think the racing beat systems get bent from shipping since the tubing isnt as large.
