Well i just got the car off the ground as far as getting it ready to run at the track, its a BDC build Spec M half bridgeport, equipped with an E6k and other misc goods, the motor is very tight, its only got 2300 miles on it and feels good on 7psi, i scored the infamous RE Amemiya kit that everyone seems to have trouble with installing. with some tools and torch layin around i got it done in two nights, the core itself is a smaller GReddy-style core, i just got it installed, so the pipes look kinda rough and in need of a GReddy BOV, this dsm one sux, im getting the pipes ceramic coated so that help with heatsoak and add to the bling factor, on an 75 deg nite, cruising air temps were about 90deg so i have room for improvement, and my before and after coolant temps went up about 2 deg. any questions about the car feel free to ask..here are a few pix of the car and intercooler pix.

Not bad, but the piping is a little confusing...

 

no doubt the piping in not like any thing i have seen. it crazy but i bet your car is fast as hell man , cant wait til i get my first RX-7 as my first car ever that i have owned. sweet car man need some fresh paint on that thing now , by the way what rims are those and what size.

 

just saw the vid.. looks very nice.. should be a nice sleeper.. now you just need to make a vid of the car boosting

The piping is bent like that so you can fit a strut bar.

Either way, nice sleeper.

 

are those dsm wheels?

 

very cool! I'm thinking of getting an old school trust ic that has piping like that. Did you say it was a bitch installing? Or is it just the one you have.


ok I feel retarded because it seems like everyone is talking about dsm this and dsm that, what the hell is dsm???? Thanks.

 

eagle talon/plymouth laser/mitsubishi eclipse

 

If I may speak for him, those look like 5Zigen FN01R-Cs, that have been polished.

 

ahhhhh and what exactly does dsm stand for???

 

Diamond Star Motors

 

Sounds secksi.

 

the rims look like enkie too me :P

 

FN01-RCs in chrome?

 

Sounds ******* badass, im hoping that my N/A bridgeport will sound like that.

Do you guys have emissions in TX?

Ya'll bridgeporting street cars in Texas, makes me want to move upthere

Good Luck with it!

 

he polished the fno1's. they used to be bronze (sig pic)


edit: i just watched the video. you got a little exhaust leak? its louder from the front of the car lol

 

I noticed that too, just wrote it off as being the intake, but, hey, maybe I was a little wishful in my thinking

 

Well, the wheels used to be bronze..but with my skillz0rz i got them polished by yours truely...i just got the car to the track tonite. car still needs alot of tuning but...it was only 7psi. vids to be posted shortly

 

wow thats nice.

are the hood and headlightcovers cf?? if so where did u get cf headllight covers? that would be sweet. especially if there was one w a vent in it.

what kinda exhaust do u have too?


great car! cant wait to see the vids of it in action.

 

Well i went to the local 1/8mi track, with the car not being tuned (w/o a wideband) the car has tons of room for improvement on 7psi, 7psi since i dont have a boost controller yet, this gives me a chance to learn the car for my big runs. well here are the vids, the FIRST one is my very first run, i believe it was like a 9.0 @80mph

Seems like you need a bigger turbo and a few other little things here and there...

 

can't say it enough

 

Wheres your car?

 

Why are you guys burning out on street tires?? The 5zigen wheels look nice...the size is perfect. What is the offset/width? I preferred them in bronze though. IC piping came out good, it will look nice after coating. You didn't get us a pic of the core in the bumper though
