For those that don't know the story. In November I totaled my FD, I purchased a shell from Lane Change (Scott) with no wiring harness, no seats, no wheels, for a decent price, then used many of the parts from the wrecked car and swaped them over to this one. Engine was completely rebuilt, ported. Old turbo set up was sold and went with a bigger set up. Now, after countless days, weeks, and months the new FD is officially done! Hope you guys like it.










And the money shot.

 

Lookin' good Rey. I still don't think we've ever met in person yet, have we?

 

looks great. got any before pics?

 

Wow, great job! What wheels were on your old car?

 

Damn it looks awesome!!

Did you get a paintjob? Or just wax/polished the original paint.

I wish i had the time and patience to just stop whatever im doing and finish my car.

 

nice and clean enginebay! I would like to get rid of my cables too :[ freakking vacumhoses :[
Nice setup too

 

nice Rey

 

Looks nice!! Good job. I have some family in Orlando, maybe we can have a rx7 meet!

 

Sweet. A true labor of love. Big congrats, looks awesome.

 

No Alan, we haven't met in person yet man. I guess I just missed you at the last meet we had in Tampa. Glad to see you got your baby back

Old FD had Volk GT-U wheels, this one has CCWs. Lets just say these CCWs cost me more then the Volks even with the tire hook up thanks to Titan

I just washed the car, no clay bar, or wax. The car was well taken care of by its previous owners.

Engine bay = no ABS, no AC, no power steering.

 

Here's a before pic. Taken the day after I purchased it.

 

Looks great man. Curious as to what turbo you went with

 

wow, really nice car !!!! and what about that engine bay setup, congrats!!!!!

 

PT74 with other stuffs

 

Dude, you're nuts.

No A/C in Orlando? NUTS!

No ABS! Don't total another one! AH!

 

It's a weekend car so not much day driving in stored for this one. And about the no ABS.... ABS wouldn't have saved the last one. Having ABS doesn't make the car un-crashable.

 

good job man. looks great. truely inspiring

 

ABS is for babies that havent learned threshold braking. Haha. Not that the factory FD ABS really worked anyway.

 

Beautiful!

 

Yeah rey, thats how it should be IMO.

A fast *** FD like that should be used on weekends and ****. Im sure you got a DD for the weekdays.

Thats what i do.

 

nice wheel selection well done man glad to see you back the road!

 

beautiful work!

 

Wheels look sharp . 18x10s all around? Those rear tires look like they grip like a ****! Yokos?

You have me considering deep-sixing my ABS, really frees up a lot of room in that passenger corner of the bay.

last thing, what kind of spool time are you looking at with that enormous snail?

 

meh a/c is over-rated, i live in naples and havent had it in 2 years. Car looks great, im glad you got it up and running. Im sure ill be seeing it at one of the upcoming events. The only thing I would say is I miss your old wheels, the gold volk gtu's made your car last time. Who did all the engine work? I need someone to do a tranny swap soon and a nice street port with a aspec 500r turbo setup.

 

Very nice job!
