Did you ever get the knee pad for the car? If so, where did you get it from? It's the only thing I feel like I need for my car.

 

I bought my first set from purerx7. The 2nd set was from goodfella

I didn't. I'm waiting for a certain group to go forward and make LHD versions.

 

what a good looking car man it makes me hate mazda for stop selling the FD in the USA in 95

 

man ..........ur car looks SICK

 

Best Camaro SS look-alike I've ever seen! Great job!

 

HAHAHA





but seriously... dope car

 

Very nice well done car!

 

This car is at IRP to get some work done and I have to say that Andy has done a GREAT job with the interior (leather door skins, grey-painted plastics, SR red-stitched pieces) as well as the exterior.....BBS plus TGM paint

Without fail customers that come by always have to check out and compliment the car, including some super-hot GFs too

 

Here's a video of Andy Choi breaking the news to his family that his Rx-7 needs another rebuild:

 

Thats great

 

What happened to the motor?

 

Firstly, i was laughing so hard I cried when I first saw that video.

Secondly, poor Dr. Choi's stock twins are making the dreaded dentist drill noise. The front compressor wheel is hitting the housing due to excessive shaft play. No bueno.

Along with that, his main pulley has a distinct wobble to it that we've known about for a while now. It seems to be getting worse, and has been verified to be the snout of the e-shaft which is bent. The engine makes very good compression (and has endplay that's in spec) but coupled with the bad turbos we've decided to pull the engine out and go into it while everything is still running with no problems.

It's a JDM block that was in the car when he bought it. One theory is that it was knocked over during shipping from Japan. Rotary Performance had something similar happen years ago.

 

So Andy is going to have a fresh 13b in one and a v8 in the other.

I vote to scrap it and put a 20b in the silver one

 

What was the damage to the Grey Spirit R seven? It was a grade R. Had it been in an accident and changed some parts and respayed?

It look great.

I will be looking for a Spirit R in a year or two. Just need to figure out if i can get it registerd here as a historical car or not. As the goverment stopped registration of RHD cars about 4 years ago As there is no Spirit R cars here i think i might be able to get it registrated

Do you have access to buying a car in Japan and have it shipped off?

Woah I seemed to have missed some posts here!

I was actually considering going 20b or 20b n/a but decided against it. I have to cut back my spending a little and I need a life again .

 

Andy, just give me your life savings and call it done. Stop postponing the inevitable

 

Stop messing with my sig and avatar and I'll think about it!

 

That video was absolutely hillarious

 

amazing.

 

Car looks great man good choice in the seats , I love mine!!!!

 

That video made me lol so hard..

 

This car is amazing.

What kind of work was done under the hood there? I'm really liking the look.

 

Thanks man. Alot was done. I mean its still just super stock but everything that could be done to increase reliability and decrease underhood temps was done. The whole chassis was pretty much refurbished as well. I have truck liner in the trunk and the bottom of the chassis was sprayed with some stuff to protect it.

 

Very Nice Indeed

My Build Will I'm sure Consist of alot of new interior panels as Thats what I'm really **** about.
