RX-7 FC3s from germany

hi guys ...

here´s some pics of my 90´FC3s Turbo II


my specs:

3" Corksport exhaust (i bought it here in germany... cause it was cheeper than a RB TII Rev... ) but its a damn loud firecracker ... shootin flames out on autobahn @ 190km/h
(musst reinstalled... at moment driving on original exhaust )
HKS air hybrid
HKS SSQV
HKS PFC FCON V (not installed yet)
SARD 800cc sec injectors (not installed yet)
Walbro fuel pump
Blitz SBC iColor boostcontroller
GReddy FATT

35-35 springs
US mirrors
japanese tail lights


to do... porting wastegate to reinstall the corksport exhaust (with a magnaflow muffler - i hope it will be not as loud as with the corksport muffler)

one question porting the S5 wastegate nessecary? or can i level it down with my boostcontroller`?


i´m searchin for the front US sidemarkers!!!! ^^

if someone searching for the european mirrors... contact me!!!


now some pics an vidz:





half gas (no FCD)

you may want to port the wastegate anyway, it's not as bad for boost creep as the s4 turbo but when it gets cold out it will probably creep if you have a big enough exhaust.

I think it's funny how everyone with folding mirrors switches to the uglier fixed mirrors.

Looks clean. You can find the USDM side markers on ebay. Any plans for it?

You may need to buy the whole fenders then. Remove the trim and markers and you'll have spare fenders laying around in case you get into a wreck.

Just wondering... Most people would rather have the Euro and JDM trim pieces since they have no markers. Looks smoother in my opinion.
