i WANNA HEAR ALL YOUR GUYS OPINIONS ON WHAT YOU WOULD DO WITH ABOUT 5K TO SPEND ON AN 87 TURBO RX7 THAT HAS A BLOWN JSPEC S5 ENGINE IN IT ALREADY.
iT HAS TOKICO SUSPENSION ALREADY

SO WHAT WOULD YOU DO BODY WISE, INTIRIOR WISE AND ENGINE WISE TO MAKE IT THE BEST IT CAN BE FOR ABOUT 5K

 

IM THINKING FC2000 FRONT BUMPER WITH SLEEK HEADLGIHTS( PUT MY OWN hid'S IN LATER)= 650

MOLDED BUMPER, MOLDED WING, BODYWORK AND BRAND NEW DUPONT PAINTJOB BLACK= 1700

BLACK SPARCO SEATS FROM MY FRIEND= 350

REBUILD THE JSPEC ENGINE WITH AVIATION SEALS AND STREET PORT= 2100

AND PIONEER RADIO FOR JUST A LITTLE SOUND= 200

SO ALL THIS JUST FOR NOW AT 5K EXACTLY

OTHER STUFF MAYBE LATER. BUT I THINK THATS 5K SPENT WELL

 

13b-re swap

 

Id invest in a working keyboard before touching my fc

 

lol!

 

LOL that's 2900 spent on body work and such and only 2100 on engine..

lol A: **** the interior.. B you don't need a stereo in a sports car! C: do i really need to tell you where the money shoudl eb going??!

 

Turbo housings, s5 n/a rotors, full t04b or similar, FD intake, some decent tires/light weight rims, haltech or similar, and various other little things.

 

Rebuild the engine, and keep the S5 TII 9:1 rotors if they are still good. Unlike SonicRaT, I don't think the higher-compression 9.7:1 NA rotors are worth the detonation problems, and Mazda also thinks so, as they used 9:1 rotors on the high-performance 20B-REW and 13B-REW engines.

The rest of the upgrades depend on what is already in your car. Some things to think about are an upgraded radiator (AWR is good, the stock RX-7 radiator is terrible), clutch/flywheel, wheels/tires, race suspension bushings and mounts, rebuild the LSD (which is almost surely dead if it is original), replace the driveshaft (which is also almost surely dead if original), install a standalone EMS (Haltech, Wolf, Microtech, etc.) and retune for better power and economy. Low-budget upgrades include synthetic transmission and differential oil, an engine oil drain valve, and upgraded air filter intake system.

The kit is about $1700 with HID's. I'm not aware of any place to buy it without the lights.

That sounds too cheap.

 

Yes, I know, I'm a crazy bastard who loves toying with that detonation threshold.

There was a place selling replica's of the FC2000 without HID's for about the price he listed. But I definatly agree with all of you, it's best to fix what's on the car and get that taken care of before trying to make it go faster.

 

they have the kit at rotaryextreme.com for 650
I already had the guy come in to tell me that the molding with with kit and spoiler for 1700 also.

I just thought that my car has to look really nice also, just not dumping all the money into the engine

 

Go all motor thats what i have to say about this. Dont waste your money on body kits and ****. The car look great as it is just clean up what you got say rust or what not and then all motor. I just like stuff that works and goes as quick as possible.

 

Id get my my motor rebuilt by Pinapple Racing and get their 5 yr warranty to start or Id sell what I had and then get a new car, like a FD

 

I'd go all engine. All LS1 engine/6 speed that is...

 

fixed.

Now, no body kit. All engine. Rebuild it, half bridgeport, Haltech ECU, and what you have left, get a nice exhasust, maybe even a bigger turbo/injector combo.

 

20b nuff said.

 

20b = need more monies than 5k

 

20B needs 20k

 

20b installed and tuned for 5k???

 

I dunno but im sticking to the fc2000 front end, to me it makes a huge difference in the car, then all moiney after that dumped straight into the engine

 

Molded bumpers/wings look like **** on an FC. Leave the lines.

 

Put $5k down on a new car.

 

heres a couple of pics of front end and wing

 

here they are

 

5k isn't going to get you the bodywork professionally done. I'd work on the engine first. get the thing running, beef up your suspension, then worry about interior and body. As far as the FC2000 kit is concerned, it looks badass!! BUT...I am partial to the GP Sports kit....

 

Rebuild, port, full exhaust, Rtek7 1.7, FD intake, BNR stage 3 hybrid, fmic, 720s, warblo fuel pump, Jacobs Rotary Pro Pack, ACT 6 puck clutch w/ HD PP and maybe a feed lip.
