My dream FC...

TII shell (with sunroof, replaced with lexan) based Widebody (Tripoint) with GP sports kit modified to fit. BBS style deep dish wheels with black centers, 315 series rear tires, 285 series fronts. Heim joint suspension (jimlab style bushings). Fully adjustable coilovers with multistage adjustable struts (independent inbound/rebound settings) 12 point cage, with swing out door bars, leather inifinte reclining recaro seats, momo millenium wheel. Rest of interior black leather S5.

I tend to like a different kind of engine from most here, but hopefully that won't **** anyone off. I would personally like to do an LS1/6 speed with two small turbos (not too much, 600-700 hp range). Streetable but mean.

For the rotary guys here (and assuming I had the budget for it, LOL). I'd like to do a whipple charged 20B, with the HKS dogmission (never did like pushing the clutch )

The mods (aside from 20B) mentioned are actually planned for my car... probably a few years off though, might get another shell first.

i payed a good price for her... and yes another one of the perks of living in canada!!! .... i would say what i payed but it would change your answer.... im sure a couple people allready know what i payed for it... but that price really has nothing to do with the price i would sell it for... just cuz i know you wont find one in this condition again... unless you were extremely patient... and even then this model of RX7 is getting any younger... but im doing my best (on my budget) to keep her as young as i can .... so what would you pay for it? USD/CAD whatever no diff there are convertors???

i already own my dream FC also, i'm currently wetsanding and polishing the paint to bring out the original color. years of breathing the LA sun and air left her an off orange color kind of brownish...

she will be getting a few upgrades in the near future also.

i finished polishing the front half of the car when i took this picture.

mine would be an FC with a Space shuttle conversion :P no no mine would have to be a gunmetal FC with deep dish SSR Proffesor wheels, maybe about 350HP would be plenty for me. Pretty much my car with a little more oomph, gunmetal, preferably something i can toss around at any corner

Actually, I believe that's the unique 1984 Right-hand, Rear-Seat Drive Camero, complete with factory misspelling.

Curious to see still what reted considers his dream FC. I bet its the 86na, with a mustang afm, 1600cc injectors, stock ecu, S5 intake, TII fuel pump, and a device that allows him to do 11k rpm even though the engine ports are stock. All the things he loves to here about, im sure he'll want for his dream FC

Tube frame 4 Rotor peripheral-port midship engine, with continuously variable length intake trumpets. MoTec controlled. Street legal D.O.T. approved .

Painted winning green, with MS-01 MAG's that's right the wheels that are over 2,000 grand a piece .

Oh and the total weight of the car would be near 2,000 lb's with 58% Rear 42% Front weight distribution.

You did say dream car right?

Black S5 with a TII complete swap. FMIC, SAFC2, Corksport fenders, TII hood, black rims, new seats, full Racing Beat exhaust, emessions removed, no A/C or P/S, slightly ported, and laying down around 300 horses.

I'm currently looking for a good beater so I can start to tear down my GTU and start rebuilding the S4 TII engine. Everything is gonne be done in top condition. Basicly rebuilding/replacing everything. No matter what the cost. It will be nice.

A pristine stock J-spec S5 GT-X or Infini III/VI except with rear seats installed.

And $20,000 to spend on mods.

I'm a simple one, my 91 N/A with a turbo, making maybe 350HP at the wheels at boost. A nice LSD. A more agressive bodykit that still retains the stock lines. 17" tires, and the entire enterior custom redon to my own **** retintive levels of uber design. NO CF anywhere, all custom plastic and leather. I hate CF look. A nice sound system, and maybe a winter without the Michigan Roads.

i see you guys all talking about 315's and 285's for tires. whats the fattest tire i can stick on my 6 or 7 inch wide rims. i measured them out to 7 inches but i may have done it wrong.. some sort of trick i missed out on or something. its an 87 base, not a single power option with lightweight rims, hks exhaust and hks cold air. 40,000 kms on rebuild. if someone tells me how to make digital cam pics within 146.5 kb ill post some pics of her.
