12 Attachment(s)
Havent had an rx7 for a while, especially a rotary one for a bit I decided I needed another one.
I've owned a few Turbo2 swapped convertible fc's and the last one being an ls1 swapped coupe. Attachment 615804 So I ended up picking up this Chaste White FD in Florida in November 2015. Black interior, low mileage, 60k, fresh paint, no rust. 99 spec bumper and lights. Koni Yellows and RB springs Greddy Titanium catback Some sort of intake.

In good company, keeping the red white and blue theme.
Attachment 615794 Attachment 615795 Attachment 615796 Surrounded by ogres Attachment 615797 So far have been collecting parts and just doing the basics. Re-amemiya short shifter and rmagic heavy knob Attachment 615798 Ohlins http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_1847.jpg Superpro bushings, J-auto arms, new oem pillowballs, steering rack bushings and ss clutch line http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_2032.jpg 19inch Work Meisters , currently getting refinished and re-barelled. Attachment 615799 Fair set of Recaro's are getting reupholstered by ESH Upholstery in alcantra they will look like this Attachment 615800 Except in red alcantara Attachment 615801 Re-Amemiya CF door sills Attachment 615802 Jdm armrest Attachment 615803 Just finished the Ohlins install, next plan is to redo the rest of the suspension, finish interior and alarm. Mount the Work Meisters when they come in. I'm waiting on the seats to be redone and have the Greddy Vmount kit, Sakebomb HID's, door handle on order. Still need to order a carbon oem lip, feed style sideskirts,rear diffuser from shine and a 99 spec wing with the carbon fiber insert. I like cars that have a bit of everything done, but are not over done so they are still enjoyable, that is the goal for this and hoping to have this car done by spring time funds and time permitting. |
Nice parts

very nice.
|
Looks great, that TII looks really clean :icon_tup:
|
That's a pretty cool old-school SMIC setup. The intake is RE Amemiya. Good luck with the build.

|
This build is awesome! I have always wanted a white FD with Red Recaros! That Porsche and M3 look awesome!
|
Car's coming along awesome :icon_tup:
Those seats just look stunning. I saw them in person last time I was at ESH and they inspired me to go searching for my own Spirit R seats to have some Edwards Bros loving' worked on them :D If you're on the hunt for some different (non-chrome) combo lights for the front bumper let me know, I have a few pair squirreled away in my collection :) |
Very nice, the wheels look amazing on the car! When you say you had them re-barrelled, were they made wider or what changed? Who did the work?
I have 3-piece wheels on my car that need another round of refurbishment :). Dale |
Nice build quality parts. But why you wearing those clean 95's whilst working on the car? Lol

Car is out the body shop and getting final alignment done. Had the front lip painted too, dont know if I like it yet or not.
Attachment 610713 Attachment 610714 Attachment 610715 Attachment 610716 Attachment 610717\ Attachment 610718 Received the sakebomb hid kit last month and the greddy vmount kit is finally coming today, install all that, have powerfc tuned by john renna. Also the recaros and the upgraded interior door handle. |
Very nice. I would go back to black plastic lip. Once you scrape that lip, the white paint will come off and will look like crap.
|
The white ones look so good because of the black accents.
|
In my personal opinion the painted lip only works if you have the OEM side skirts to keep the lines going. The front lip looks a bit out of place to me.

They're meant to scrape on the ground and flex, which makes paint look like crap. Car's still sexy AF, tho. |

Took the car to IRP and had them add a new Walbro pump, an HKS twinpower and John Renna tuned it on the powerfc.
Car made great power for stock twins. Attachment 605971 366/339 but the best part about a working sequantial system is the almost 300ft of torque at 2700rpm. The other red line in the 4s is for a set of BNR's they did on another car for comparison |
Where did you get the Recaro`s? What model head unit is the Alpine?

Great build so far! Your giving me some ideas on what to do with my white FD haha
|
I used plastic weld on anything that was broken or cracked and was salvageable.
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...68842379DF.jpg Bought some cheap felt tape from Amazon and added it to all the panels I put back. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...3C352FCD99.jpg Replaced all the old crusty clips with new ones. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...88BFD6838B.jpg Added more under carpet insulation under the bins and the floor http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...684CC1C047.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...0553B1A2E5.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...6EDD2B4756.jpg Most of my interior rattling came from the middle section where the rear bins are, figured I'd go all out there, biggest pain is that most of the attachment points on my rear bins are broken so figuring now how to redo those. |
Adding felt tape is smart.

I don't know if you are taking the interior plastics out or not, but putting some very thing felt between them will eliminate some creaking.
Hope to have it finished by the end of the month, progress has been slow as the x5m is being replaced by the new daily and needs to be de-modded and posted for sale. |
Please post your offset for the Advan GT. I know I asked you on IG but I forgot

Yet another nice CW build :icon_tup:
