Aussie Series 8 FD3s Rx-7 Type-RS
Just thought id show ya a few pics of my baby.

Know what you mean regarding the wheels - but these are RAYS VICTRIX 3 Piece - Pretty sure they are infact lighter than OEM wheels?

You know, it's not nice to flaunt a 99 rx7 to us less fortunate owners that didn't have the option to even purchase this year. You suck.
Nice car though. But you still suck.

aaahhhh a fellow series 8 owner!! Nice car indeed. I love how you really kept the stock look alive, instead of killing it with a body kit and more ****. Have you dynoes yet? What intercooler is that your running. I've never seen the cold pipe run like that. I'm really feeling the white.

Series 8 wasnt released in Aus either, this is an important from Japan. At the time when purchased was one of only a handful in the country. Nowdays though little more common which sucks cause prices have dropped considerablty.
My car is actually up for sale at the moment. Definately dont wanna part with it but just cost me my third license and i wanna buy a house so might be the only option...

What year, spec and colour is yours mate? Would love to see some pics. Yes I from the start told myself not to go overboard with mods, so many people really ruin these cars with the ridiculous **** they do to them - they arent meant for it. Yeah Im a big fan of white to specially on a 7Intercooler is one off custom pipework and fit that was TOO much of a headache for any normal person to handle (80 hours labour in total from memory. Took a lot of planning and thinking). The way it is done has enabled me to keep the luxury of my air conditioning!
Only dyno sheet i could find was from the original tune immediately after run in. Fairly soft and only 10 psi.
