White fc from Chile

This explanation its for a forum in Chile, they dont know a lot about rx7, so a lot of things are obvious.
Sorry for my english, i hope you would like my car.

A few months ago, i decided to buy a Rx7 Turbo II. I found an opportunity to built an Rx7 whith the best part of the S4 and S5 rx7 (1986-1988, 1989-1991).

The body its from a 1986 base model. Its the lightest one, it was in very good condition, but he paint was very bad.


So i decided to repaint it completily, including the engine compartment because i was going to change from red to Crystal White color.




The transmition its form a Rx7 Turbo II 88, factory clutch type lsd. I know that whith a large amount of kms, worns out, but works better than the hidraulic type of the s5.

The engine its a 1991 turbo II one, whith 202hp standard.


The seats are from an 88 rx7 turbo
We also installed the standard boost gauge of the Turbo II.
The audio system its the best stock one, with 9 channel eq and cd. Very nice, old school, and nobody its going to steel it.



I bought eibach springs and gab adjustable gas shocks, very nice street setup. Brake system its the standard one of the turbo II (vented discs all around and 4 piston calipers in front). The complete transmicion system that we install was from an 88' turbo II.

The wheels are ssr, 2 piece.


I dont have more pics of the car in this moment.

Beautiful work! I've always loved the 10AE scheme and you did a beautiful job recreating it there. Nice to see another clean FC around.

Why's that? I like the basic paint scheme for any color other than white. my favorite stock colors in order are Infini Green, Black, Red (what color my car used to be), Blue/silver, white. I'm just not a fan of white cars in general.. too boring, I think

It would be funnier if a guy with my paint job said he didn't like two color things.
