Heres the tail...I have an RE Amemiya Type IV replica wing shipping as we speak This sport spoiler will be for sale thereafter if anyone wants to grab it... The dual Apexi dunk exhaust looks just like the Greddy.

motor...notice the Tein camber plates (these are cheap, feel terrific as it's a solid mount, work well and look great!!).

Last one...the car is moving but it's a decent shot of the way stance the coilovers provide, as well as the front lip and kaminari side skirts. Once the wing is on she goes in the shop for a TII swap (keeping my NA tranny though so I can keep the centerforce DF clutch and RB aluminum flywheel). If you squint you can make out the JDM FTP lenses (they light up w/ the dims).

Much thanks to BlackFC NYC for all the pics!! We all had a great time this weekend.

Really nice! I like that color, and the rims. Are you going front mount on the TII swap or TII hood. I think a TII hood would really add.

i have owned my car for about a year and don't really know alot about the adjustable suspension my 86 gxl has. i see that at the top of the strut bar their are dust caps of some sort. with putting on both front and rear strut bars will that effect my adjustable suspension. i guess it really doesn't matter because i think mine is broken anyways because i cant feel a diference when it's on or off!

where did you get the apex dunk exhaust, how much did it cost and what would you compare the sound to?

i must say that your car is by far the cleanest 7 i've seen in a while. i could only hope that when my car is done it will come close to having it's own personality as yours does now

Thanks!! the car is very very clean, but don't let the pics fool you, the car has a couple of scratches and a couple of lil dings...it's not driven every single day (though it has been since my daily has been MIA for a while, blew the motor in my GVR4). My brother owns Z-1 performance Inc, on long island so we make all our own piping for exhausts, intercoolers. I just got 2 dunk mufflers (2.5 inch inlets) and we made the system from there...2.5 inch downpipe off the motor, race-pipe flanged to swap in the high flow cat for inspections, then we fab'd a Y pipe branching off into a pair of 2.25 inch pipes straight to the mufflers. With cat in it's very mellow, just like the Greddy ( a bit louder). With the cat out it sounds angry...its not much louder but the tone is more aggressive.

TriTurboGen3 RX-7: performance mods are as follows
K&N, no airpump/ACV block off, UR pulleys, open 6 ports, TB mod (awaiting install), downpipe/racepipe/catback, RB aluminum flywheel, centerforce DF clutch, GC coilovers on KYB struts, TII sway bars, energy suspension polyurethane everywhere, Grex front strut bar, cusco rear, Tein pillowball mounts/camber plates, custom stainless brake lines/oil cooler lines, Hawk street-comp pads, new calipers, 17X7 ADR stage II, sumitomo HTRZII, 215/45 FR, 235/45 RR

TriTurboGen3 RX-7: the front lip is a mazdaspeed replica from corksport as well as the RE wing which is on it's way. www.corksport.com
The sideskirts are from kaminari, but I'm told they are no longer available as their mold was destroyed. I tried to price them out for someone last week, but to no avail. I can get anything from Japan through the shop w/o much shipping costs since we import every couple of weeks and its only a few $$ to add to an order. Check out the shop's site at www.z1auto. com
it's all WRX's for now as thats the car we mainly work on but if anyone would like me to look into parts for them just PM me, we can get anything.

NA to turbo conversion is easy...I have to find a 87-88 TII motor and then simply use an NA flywheel on the motor (my RB aluminum) to bolt it to the NA tranny. I know the TII one is stronger but the NA tranny is very cheap and easy to find...and it shouldnt be a problem with 300 hp I'm thinking...if I'm careful that is, no holeshots hehe
