I think I got ya beat on the wheel gap but she is saving up for the combo A at K2RD...

I noticed a little actually because of the pvc, faster revs maybe only a horse or 2 at the max tho, but like I said its revs faster and it looks nice

Yo,


That's a good set up. Paul is very cool at K2RD and CYMFC3S digs that shock/coilover combo.

Lemme know how it turns out!

I hope I don't show my ignorance too much, but is there any reason why the stock air intake scoop is still there?

Without a cold box, the cone filter would be sucking mostly hot air off the radiator. The stock snorkel is not bad, if the hood prop didn't partially block it. I removed the stock prop, and just use an aluminum tube..

Ok. That makes sense. I'm learning something new every day (kind of sad really, considering I bought my first RX-7 13 years ago )
