Check out the stats on this FD

http://www.fastfours.com.au/display_...2DFB451820DA89

Here are the stats on the FD:

Vehicle: '96 Mazda RX-7 Series 6
Engine: 13B Turbo
Induction: Y2K ball-bearing turbo, 3-inch core intercooler, HKS 62mm waste gate
Internals: Lightened Series 4 rotors, 3mm titanium seals
Ignition: MicroTech MT8
Exhaust: 4-inch stainless steel straight through with 5-inch muffler and tip, stainless steel turbo exhaust manifold

Drivetrain
Gearbox: Factory five-speed
Differential: 4.11 geared VX Commodore Clubsport
Clutch: Daikin twin plate clutch
Brakes: Factory

Wheels & Tyres
Front & Rear: 20x8 Chrome Volts (f) 245 /35/20 & (r) 265/40/20 Pirellis
Power Output: 533bhp, 35 pounds maximum boost
Quarter Mile: N/A
---------------------

So he's running 3mm Titanium seals? I didn't know titanium seals were available? Maybe one of our Aussie forum members can fill us in on the availability of this product.

20-inch wheels front & rear? I personally have never seen anything larger than 19s on a FD. All I can say is...wow. There must be zero suspension travel.

He's also running 533bhp at 35 pounds of boost, but still has his stock brakes? Is this guy nuts? Zero suspension travel, a lot of boost, and stock brakes?

BTW, he is running twin Y2K turbos if you read the article.

Sounds like a dyno/show queen to me-
You can't even turn the wheel on an FD with 20's...

20's on an FD look like dick. Those 20's on ANYTHING look horrible. Put the 2 together and you have a disgusting looking RX-7.

I'll have to agree with you there... 20's are just way too much for the FD. And well those dont look all that great in the first place... But there are some nice things done to that thing... Too bad its butt ugly...

Those wheels are UGLY! From the picture it doesn't look like you could put your hand between the fender and the tire!

Per, what is he thinking, I found this quote in the article:

"Surprisingly, Ali's not finished yet. There's plans to swap the tranny for an auto"

He wants to go from a manual to an auto. Someone shoot him! ;- ) Just kidding, drag him to the looney bin!

Ugliest wheels EVAR! 20's + RX-7's don't go together.
Looks like something that would be featured on Import Tuner. GHEY...

You can't post a quarter mile time when you don't actually drive a car.

I like it. I do hate the wheels, though.

That car needs to be driven.

I hate the wheels but think the car is ok. I think one of the aussies that hang out in the single turbo forum might know more about that car as I believe it was being talked before. But I thought they were talking about a FD with 1 y2k on it. 2 of those is just insane..

What's next for the RX-7? Maybe an auto and even some nitrous. Who knows?

Uhhhh, what does he mean by auto? I hope it's not automatic transmission!!

dwam, that's pymp tyte. needs a playstation (or two). a pretty show car is a pretty show car. do that to an accord. rx7s were meant to be driven. i guess when it comes down to it it's his car and he can do with it as he pleases, but we all reserve the right to shake our heads and mumble to each other about it
