I'm back bitches.....

Been out of the rx7 scene for a long while, even had my 7 for sale but couldn't let it go. I got into bikes and bought me a Buell and had fun modding it.....really like the street fighter look. Now it's time to give the rx7 the same treatment.

i really hate harleys, even in disguise, but that is a nice looking bike.

still rather have my Duc though. even the harley rental place, all the wannabes renting bikes look when i ride by, probably because it sounds like a pissed off harley but the looks do not match the sound. i love me italian 2 banger thumper.

Ahhhh I'm selling a Greddy 2 row R-spec....wouldve saved you some money.
As for turbo, I went with BNR stage 4, it kicked *** and was uber easy in the install.
And for the boost controller, I went with the Greddy Profec Type S.

I was hoping you were going to say you were ready to sell the 10th AE...I have 2 and I want a 3rd.

Haha! Not yet, going to dump some more money into it....and then we'll see after that.

I have a SS tubular manifold I picked up a long time ago that I'm using so I want a "big" turbo. I plan to have some fun with this thing when I'm done.

Thanks, I'm not to concerned with the cosmetics right now but once I get it up and running I'll address that. I really really want to install some old school 240z "zg" fender flares and maybe try my hand at a custom front splitter.....but that a ways down the road.

Oh ya I have the 10th ann badges, never put them back on after it was painted many many years ago.

The roll bar is a 4 point job....not sure about the legality but I seem to remember it was legal for something haha!! These pictures don't show the Kirkey alum racing seat that replaces the drivers seat and the center gauge panel is black.
