93 rx7 Fd improving a great sportscar
 

My build started in 2016 with a 93 rx7 I owned since 1998. The car sat since 2005 till 2016 after my painter blew the engine with a joy ride. I had a baby on the way and I made a choice not to invest anymore money into the car. Two kids later and a purchase of a house I finally was able to get a hold of some loose change to start my build.

Woow.. for sure has been a long time.. glad to see you around. God luck on the build. Do you have any pics?

I’m so scared of that happening to my FD, honestly. Well look forward to seeing your build.

Kilo Racing
 

March of 2016 the car is parked in front of my house awaiting a flat bed truck. The car was delivered to Kilo Racing for engine rebuild

Going back to 98
 

Well I came across this old pick from 98 when she was nine stock with only 63,000 miles on her

Please dont laugh
 

It was 2000 when I bought those wheels and that custom hood. I used to run a fmic. That has all changed a little by little. The car has a more roadcourse/street car inspired setup now and there still room for improvement. (Under construction)

Yes it sucks. Everyone wants to drive these cars and I hate having to drop it off anywhere. I have learned to do a lot of my own work for this reason

Picked up a jdm engine to be rebuilt by Kilo Racing. I just wanted to start back with the basics and did not want to use my old engine. Plus the housings on the old engine were toast.

Red94fd here are some more pics but I am putting them in order. The car is almost completed. Just documenting the build for people to enjoy and also to gain ideas on there builds.

Turbo kit from Sean at Aspec. Pte twin scroll 6262 1ar B.B turbo, 4inch down pipe. The first pics was of a divided manifold going into one wastegate but changed it to divided manifold and two wastegates. Wastegates are two precision w.g. I wanted better spool response.

Nice dual wastegate. I will follow to see how it came out.

For sure
 

I will try to post everyday so I can get the thread up to speed on where the build is today. You might get some laughs for my car is on the second build. The first build was late 90s early 2000 and i was like 24 years old.

I was fast n furious before the movie. Lol

There is my old interior. It was painted red and that hood was a custom fiberglass hood. This was all part of the first build back in the late 90s.

I start to remove all my super bright red fast n furioua plastics. The goal is to remove the red paint and wood finish. I will strip them and paint the bumper black.

Removing that old glue from that wood kit was a pita. Once removed though I sanded everything down and spray painted in with black bumper spray. It took a little time and work but I do like it over the fast n furious red.

I am wondering if the pics that I placed on this build are visual to others.

I can see them. Definitely looks way better black dash than that red.. that was too much red even for me....lol
Looking good..

Looks great!

Awesome I am glad you can see them. I agree with you that the black looks a lot better. There is a lot more to come including a lot more pics. I will try to post everyday

Thank you Narfle. I actually have new stuff on stand by. Sending out my odometer and tach so they maybe rebuilt by a company out of Tampa Fl. Tach works sometimes, speedo works all the time but odometer took a crap.

I know it was the 90’s but what the fuxk were you thinking with the wood? Pining for a Jag at the time?
hope it goes smoothly for you. Good luck👍

Lol. The wood was already there when I purchased the car. I am the second owner. The first owner was a dentist. Please for give me I was young dumb and well you know.

Picked up this 6 puck sprung act clutch kit. Need something that will hold my projected power goal.
