Was trying to do something different with my drift spares. It's a good idea, just wrong color scheme. Think I might redo it, but splatter white, neon green, and baby blue instead of purple. Still looks okay I guess.



Still haven't cleaned my engine bay since the swap, so I've been hesitant to posting engine bay pics, but eff it. It's been long enough.

Man that's a gorgeous looking car. I have the same rims on my car but silver insides instead of black. I really like how they look on your ride though. This makes me want to paint my centers metallic blue now. lol hahahaa. The engine looks good too. I like how the UIM is green. Two thumbs up my friend.

Nice car Tyler, but that is NOT your 'gas tank cover' That is your gas tank.

Good Luck!

It's the knock off, doesn't sound like anything too spectacular. Although I can barely hear myself think over the exhaust, so i guess it might be impressive I can hear it at all, haha.

In Co Springs all our dealerships are in this little area called "Motor City" So it says "Motor City Mazda - Test Drive The New Rotary Engine" Which is so awesome, cause it's probably from the late 60's.

And thanks for all the compliments! She's my work in progress, tryin to go pro-am with this car, so hopefully in two years from now, she'll look completely different.... better, but different.

you don't know josh skoog by any chance do you? he's my cousin who lives in the springs and just happens to be a rotorhead as well, last count he had an FC and an FB, your FC looks a lot like one that his friend used to have so I'm wondering if either you're him, or bought it from him.

Umm, it's a possibility, we have a weekly meet and I think I've seen him there. Does he work at Big-O? I'm horrible with names tho. But there are alot of Sevens around here that we haven't had at our meets. About a month ago I gotta call from a friend saying, "I just saw a group of at least five sevens cruising. Are you going to a meet?" I caslled everyone and noone knew about it. So I guess there's another Rx-7 group in the Springs that we don't know about. Man, we need to get us all together!!!

dunno where he works right now, last I asked (August ish) he was a manager at sears. I've been finding more and more people in the springs with rx7s, I brought mine out 2 years ago and didn't see any.

Yeah, i don't know if I do know Josh... I'd always be down to meet a fellow rotor head tho, haha.

Next on my to do list, install these! (G Master Super Angle Kit and spacers) Re-adjust my camber, and get an allignment. All before March 27th. I should have plenty of time, haha.



Then a front mount! I'm sick of blowing up couplers all the time. Not a fan of this stock intercooler.

So I've been noticing that used top mounts (hks, arc, etc) are about the same price as alot of front mount kits. I think it'd be alot more badass to retain the top mount. So a few questions:

- Is the power difference between hks/arc top mounts and say the Godspeed front mount kit alot? Or would I barely even notice a difference?

- The reason I need to upgrade is the stock intercooler is clogging everything up, so I have all this built up pressure in between the turbo and the intercooler and it blows the coupler everytime I drift. Will an HKS/ARC fix this?

- Anybody know where I can find a good condition top mount?

Thanks guys!
