And?

 

More pictures when I first got it






First Add/Change to the 7
Straight pipe was just too loud and obnoxious
Cheap OBX ebay exhaust







Sat nicely but piping was way too big. Please remember this is my first car.
I am working my way to understanding these cars through trial and error.

*Criticism is welcome, it is only to help me in the long run*

 

Added BBS wheels

3 spoke+spray canned+matte black= ugly

EPIC rim job

 

Gold / Bronze spokes and chrome lips look great on red RX7s.

 

Yea I like the chrome lips on fc's. I was thinking of getting some BBS RS's but not yet. Broke.

 

Decided to put the s5 bumper & T2 Hood on after a long wait.
Got a good deal from a local. I say it looks nice.

New Wing
The old one was cracked, ugly and didn't match paint.

[b]I'll do another video, this is just a sample[b]

 

you are doing a good job.

one thing i would do is put the stock radiator fan and shroud back on there, and stick the stock airbox and snorkel back on there.

that radiator fan looks way ******* small.

then, i would ho ahead and get an rtec, and tune.

good job on not ******* up the ride with ricer bullshit.

 

looks good man personally id try and save up to get the car resprayed since you got a few different shades of red goin on

 

Agreed with SirCygnus. Doing a nice job so far. The header wrap looks good too

 

Thanks guys. This is my first car so I'm trying to do my best.

SirCygnus: The picture you saw is an old picture of the bay. I have the stock fan, shroud, and airbox now in the bay.

trbotru: That is part of the list but not the first.

Remember I am a student, worker, and full time friend and family guy. I try to do my best to make my car look and run good. Everything I do is through trial and error. Keep the comments and advice coming. Thanks again fellahs.

 

did anyone notice his afm is upside down?

 

Looking good so far, have any big future plans for it?

 

is the 5/6th port still working?

 

This is a picture of my current engine bay. Cleaned out some gunk and cleaned around the parts that I could. See no more ugly ebay filter that came with the car

<a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y190/ahhrevenge/RX7%20BUILD%20UP/?action=view&current=enginebay.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y190/ahhrevenge/RX7%20BUILD%20UP/enginebay.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

 

No big plans for this really. Maybe a streetport in the next year. Other than that I plan it keep it stock and running. Maybe get new wheels? Re-Amemiya AW7, SP1 professors, BBS RS. Drop it on some coils. We'll see this is my first year having the car. Still experimenting and enjoying the car.

 

ha ha ya
but the car looks great and your doin all the right stuff, but consider putting a peice of pool noodle or somthing in the intercooler vent on the hood to keep out leaves and stuff.
the car looks great but i would deffinatly get it resprayed! (i'd go white but to each their own)

 

Respraying the car is one of the things on my TO DO list but not so soon.
Thanks guys keep the comments and advice going.

 

how about more pics of the helper?

 

I really like the look of that obx exhaust, besides the piping size did you have any complaints about it? I'm assuming it was pretty loud since it was a 3" on a n/a.

 

looks like a new car after the wash.
