Great build, very nice choice on the kit, glad you did not send this kit to anyone for replicas. The price for exlusivity needs to be high, not so every Jo Shmo can purchase one... What color you have your mind set on?

Also with a dual master cylinder. Has anyone on here tried a similar setup on here with a better ABS unit? looked, but couldn't find anything..
I've read that the newer (99+) stock ABS units are significantly better. Might check into one from Japan. Any goal in mind for completion datewise?? Possibly SEMA in November??

I looked it up, and it would be easier to install the last generation system in. BUT still seeing if maybe we can get a bosch M4 unit. Its pretty badass! Comes with an adjustment *** with 12 options. the first 9 maps are preset for different conditions, and you get to select two different maps of your choice. Also if you want to just turn ABS off, turn the *** to 12!

pleaseeeee be careful with those wheels

ADV.1 is notorious for extremely shoddy quality and on several occasions 100% unsafe wheels!!!

it would be a tragedy to see you lose your car because of that!!

disassemble the wheels to inspect quality, then reassembly yourself with a torque wrench

just want to say that what i've said here in no way reflects the feelings or opinions of the companies i'm affiliated with, nor am i trying promote another brand. just one rx7 owner talking to another!

heres what to expect, hopefully you got lucky!!

most of the other horror story threads have been "closed" and "lost"
but this is the most recent one from a customer in japan

This is ADV.1's quality... - BMW M3 Forum (E90 E92)

please be careful with the car because you are the first with it in the US and most of us will set out a witch hunt for you if it is ruined!! hahaha jk jk

hurry up and paint it all ready dammit!!

Well as for quality with these wheels, I can assure you that they're good. I've seen a lot of work, SSR, volk, top name brands, and these are up there if not surpassed. Here are a few for pics of some parts gathered for the build.


Brembo race brakes all around








The car will start being sprayed either end of this week, or the beginning of next.
