93 rx7 Fd improving a great sportscar
Hello rotards. Well I have not messed to much with the rx7 since my son has been eating away with my time and pocket. I thought keeping a rx7 fd was tough this gokart thing is crazy. Either way tomorrow i will be adding a splitter to my front lip. I had tried previously to add one but I thought it just looked to racey for me. I had that same splitter reworked and now it is ready to mount. Brap on brothers.

So I had this feed style splitter made by the same guy who made the side ones. In this picture it is not mounted on securely. I place it on there to see what it would look like. For some reason I am not 100 percent happy with it. I love the lines of the rx7 and this to me is taking a little away. Maybe it's too aggressive. I know some may like it. I think I may keep it and try to trim it so it's not so. Well I cant think of a word but I am not really liking it. It may help with some down force but like I said it's a street/track day build. I am thinking if I pull it back a little and trim the corners it may flow better with the oem rx7 lines. Either way I will post when I modify it. For know i stay with the oem r1 lip.
The guys at Speedzone in Kissimmee,Fl took these pics as I backed her out of the shop. I was there to get the front splitter installed. The lack of proper hardware stopped the installation. I now have the proper hardware but have not had the time to have it installed. Hope to have it installed this week.

Merry Christmas to all rotards like me. A special Merry Christmas for all who are following my build. With Christmas upon us means that all my family members know what I want for Christmas. Cash for my build. With that said stay tuned for some news things coming to this build.
Thank you iamRobbyyah. Please do a build thread so I can go check it out. I love checking build threads. If anyone who is subscribed to my build thread has a build thread let me know so I can check it out.
I like the splitter on the r1 lip spoiler but i think i need to come forward half an inch. Before it seemed to aggressive but now it seems to be to conservative. Man its tuff getting the right balance.
I came across this clean rx7 at the practice for the IMSA Daytona 24hr practice. I love seeing owners who are not scared to drive there cars. The car did look similar to mine so of course I liked it. Lol

First shower since the installiof the front splitter. Had to get her ready for this Saturday rotary meet at Speedzone in Orlando at 4pm. If you live in the area and have a rotary or just want to see some come buy. There will be 5 fds for sure and who ever else may show. I will take pics and post them here.
The rotary lives in Orlando Fl. Some people know it as the home of Mickey mouse but I know it as the home for rotaries. This event started at Speedzone and then ended at Classic Mazda of Orlando. At Mazda they had food,drinks and a few Mazda race cars. Even the Mazda IMSA DP was there.Great times for sure.

Thanks guys. February 1st is an rotary event at Ace Cafe Orlando. I am sure the turn out will be crazy. I am guessing over 50 rotary cars. Stay tuned for the pics. I missed one special car that came to our meet. Stand by for the video. After this meet my gauges will go out to be fixed. I am tired of the rpm gauge working when it wants to
The event even had this cool Mazda IMSA dp there. It is a cool racecar but there is one thing missing. Rotors rotors and rotors. The engine does not go brap brap brap unfortunately. We will be there next year also. Feel free to pm me if your interested in going.
We got 6 rotaries coming over from the Melbourne area.
I went to the last rotary meet in Sept and it was a monsoon but still enjoyed it.
Hopefully we'll have better weather for this meet.
The IMSA 24hrs at Daytona was a blast. The Mazda prototype came in second. They also had this beautiful throw back IMSA 3 rotor racecar. Man do I miss the rotary cars in IMSA racing.
I made a few new retard friends. Special thanks to Eddie for taking these great quality pics. Hung out with estavan62274 with his silver Fd. The car was mint and he is a good dude. Also met some other rotards from Melbourne, Fl. Hope to hook with them soon. Great rotary meet at Ace Cafe for sure. Next week I will be removing the rpm gauge and speedo for repair.
