my new baby *pic intensive*
 
hey i was bored so i thought i would show off

93 Rx7
montego blue
APEXi 3'' turbo back exhaust
custom intake
boost guage
HKS type 0 TT
K40 radar detector
grex or something shift knob

eclipse head unit

- what do you think we should do next

we are getting
- new OEM brakes b/c old ones are gone
- goodridge brake lines
- new metal turbo->intercooler pipe
- maybe new rims (SSR comps are the fav. at the time =D)
- replacing rear speakers( hopefully b/c one is gone)
- 99 rear wing - need the downforce for the track
- RB airbox to replace the custom one that doesnt work that great
Possibilities:
- a sub in the back
- 99 spec lip
- sway/ strut bars
- 99 spec brake upgrade
- hard pipes from intercooler

and to the pics:

Looks nice!

If you aren't going to keep the front cover over the IC, you might want to patch up the existing air passage for the stock airbox.

Scrub 02-15-04 10:10 PM

The first thing you should do next is take that Gold Mazda badge off the rear bumper :) Then do whatever you want.

Lookin good though, good luck with it.

nice car man.. take care off it .
good look and welcome ..

Godzilla-T78 02-15-04 10:37 PM

looks pretty good, id take those pipes out and repaint them somthing else if your going to keep them.. in regards to your post about the intakes, all of them are setup like that man, its no big deal. If you really are worried about it make a heat sheild out of some thin aluminum.

wReX 02-15-04 10:59 PM

Is that the stock AST?

Yep it is, pshht you need to replace that asap.. thats a big relibility mod..

clayne 02-15-04 11:30 PM

Jon,

I saw you had another post looking for a stock airbox.

Trust me, you don't want or NEED a stock airbox when you already have cone filters. The intake path is fine just as it is.

But please duct tape up that intercooler ducting hole.

oneflytrini 02-15-04 11:34 PM

your running a turbo-back exhaust (midpipe)....and a intake? I thought you need something to control the fuel before you run something like that. Help me out i want and intake too :(

Jayseven 02-15-04 11:35 PM

where in the piedmont do you live. Im in greensboro. We should meet up some time......... let me know man.

hyper7 02-15-04 11:51 PM

is that your yellow msp? my g/f just got one after some persuading and that car kills in the corners. anyway nice car

Sparkey 02-15-04 11:58 PM

i think you should go with suspension and get in on the group buy on bushings so the price gets lower for all of us but thats just me.

artguy 02-16-04 12:14 AM

downpipe time

lose that POS stock IC

MAZDASPEEDS FD3S 02-16-04 04:01 AM

Start buy putting all your extra money into mods for your Fd

phsst........ phsst...... 02-16-04 08:55 AM

lol thanks for all the replys i will try to get all the questions in one post

"you might want to patch up the existing air passage for the stock airbox." - you mean the hole on the top of the plastic piece that corrals air to the IC?

im gettins 2 new chrome flying m badges asap

whats an AST?

and i have a 3'' dp, a stock midpipe, and a 3'' from the midpipe back - i think, im gonna have to check b/c ive only had this 3 days

"Help me out i want and intake too " - say what???

i live in raleigh, thats my brothers MSP and yea it kills the corners but this will too when we get done modding it

i dunno a/b replacing the intercooler, its allready making 300 rwhp and thats alot for a 15 yr old :-) - but maybe

and yea we are gonna do suspension soon, i dunno how soon tho

Yep, the hole on top of the intercooler duct. There is a cover that goes over top of that which directs the air from that hole over to the stock air box. Without that cover, the air just goes up into the hood.

Take a look at this picture:

http://mahjik.homestead.com/files/FD...3/MVC-008F.JPG

It shows the cover that redirects that air. If you don't have the cover, just cover up that hole so your IC will get all the air. If you want, you could get crafty and make a duct to reroute that air over to your filters. ;)

spoolage 02-16-04 10:46 AM

I highly doubt your car is making 300 hp yet.

TwinTurbo93 02-16-04 11:01 AM

Good deal man, nice car.
Like everyone else sugested for mods, take your time and do e'm one by one, right the first time.

I highly doubt you though making 300 hp with only DP, CB and intake, acualy that's completely imposible, take it to a dyno.

Good luck with you car.

Godzilla-T78 02-16-04 11:04 AM

not on a stock ecu especially..
