We aren't quite finished yet, but this is a sample of what's to come on our SEMA car. Full details of the car to come. The car is painted with a 2 stage paint. Color is Porsche Artic Silver ^_^

 

 

 

Hey, that looks like a real nicely built cage (not unlike German racecar cages). Did you guys build that, or did you have a shop build it? If so, which shop?

BTW, nice choice on color!

 

I will take some more shots of her when she is done. Should be Friday, but maybe tomorrow. Here are the basics:

86 Base - converted 5 lug turbo drivetrain
13B-RE fully built, pinned and cryo treated
T04R hybrid (.70 comp / GT35 hot side with .96 A/R)
1350cc pri/1680cc sec
Speed Machine dual 38mm Turbosmart gate 321 stainless manifold
Haltech E6X
NX FMIC kit
NX 250 shot wet nitrous (4 port setup - wet)
OS Gizen twin disc clutch
fully built 13BT S5 tranny
Ron Davis radiator
PWR 24X11 FMIC
Bogart RT 3 piece wheels (17X12 rear 17X9 1/2" front)
Mariah front fenders
AWR rear fenders
Speed Machine Carbon Fiber S5 lip (first appearance)
Fiber Images double carbon hood (whole hood is CF)
APR CF canards
JIC FLT-A2 coilovers
fuel cell
Aeromotive A-1000 fuel pump
CF wrapped S4 mirrors
CF FD3S center gauge pod
custom aluminum dash
10 point roll cage
Sparco EVO2 seat

etc...

 

omfg!

 

Other than the dash and the paint, the whole car was built in house. Our fabricator does cages for stuff like Baja 1000 cars and trucks, so he is really good with cage geometry, chassis strength, driver safety etc.

 

Wow... words escape me. That's beautiful.

Why haven't you welded sheetmetal over the sunroof opening, or not started with a non-sunroof body? Just curious.

 

It has an aluminum panel under the CF cover that has threaded rod which holds it in place. The main switch panel is mounted to the top of the roll cage, so access to the wiring in the future is possible. So this allows for it. A solid top chassis would have been best, but this is going to get a street car and is what we had on hand to build

 

can i be first to say: wow.

 

******* badass

 

wow I love the cage!
Is that a CP Racing light kit?

 

nice man! i saved those pics =)

 

It looks that way, I'd be suprised if it wasn't.

 

I like it Looks much better than the one on CP Racing's website!
$650 for the kit doesnt seem too bad.

 

That is a very beatiful RX-7 there Dave. Good job.

 

Wow, cool stuff!!

 

All i have to say is with that much nitrous I hope you dont blow the welds on your intake....

LMAO.
Sorry guys I couldnt help it.. But on a serious note that is one BADASS car.

 

Holy mother f*&^!!!!!
-a

 

Umm, damn!

 

jesus holy engine bay
i'll drool all over it and flood it

 

The lights are SP racing. Fitment is kinda a bitch, but the end result of them is well worth it. We didn't get our brackets that were supposed to come with them, so I made some so I can't comment on how they install with the typically included hardware. The lights are really bright when we hooked them up on the 12VDC power supply.

 

Very nice!!!!! I am so glad we have people representing the FC well. It cleans up very nicely for such an old car doesn't it?

Incase you don't already know, be wary of the Aeromotive A1000 pump. I have heard it drops flow at higher rail pressures and from what I have read most members here had to upgrade to Bosch from it above ~450hp. I really wouldn't trust it for your set-up even if you are using an additional pump for nitrous enrichening.

Please let me know if you have found info to contradict this as I have a A1000 I WAS going to use (doh, research first!).

Or is your A1000 the new silver model that flows more than the 2 red ones?

I like the RE Amemiya style headlight buckets in the stock bumper skin; where did you source those?

-edit- just read about the lights...

 

additional generic cop compliment, brian....

well done.

 

I honestly wasn't aware of any problems with the A1000 pumps so I will let you know the findings. I plan to run a surge tank setup with bosch engine pumps and the a1000 as the tank feed pump, but time just isn't on our side before the show comes.
