Chronumn's R2 Build
Hey everyone, just picked up my 1994 R2 RX-7 from fellow forum member Yanni/Snook so I figure I'll share the build here since I plan on changing / updating the car. I'm going to be improving this car both mechanically and aesthetically. My plans include doing a full '99 spec swap, with new wheels, and fixing some minor issues.

This weekend and some parts of the previous consisted of checking the fuel pump to see why my car is hitting a fuel cut under half a tank, installing a new headunit. New Spark plugs, first wash, and a Pettit racing air pump delete which I picked up after taking the car there to get it checked out by Cam. Pictures! https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1600/...c2c90a17_b.jpg20160327-DSC_0271 edit by chronumn, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1474/...74ac8363_b.jpg20160327-DSC_0281 edit by chronumn, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1592/...5381fa8d_b.jpg20160327-DSC_0288 edit by chronumn, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1561/...c875c89c_b.jpg20160327-DSC_0297 edit by chronumn, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1720/...ef2fefeb_b.jpg20160327-DSC_0305 edit by chronumn, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1711/...ed1dc892_b.jpg20160327-DSC_0308 edit by chronumn, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1548/...faa2ab94_b.jpg20160327-DSC_0327 edit by chronumn, on Flickr Air Pump Delete, can see a lot more of the turbo now https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1543/...2ab9a4f4_b.jpg20160326-DSC_0261 edit by chronumn, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1605/...ae537dcd_b.jpg20160326-DSC_0263 edit by chronumn, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1526/...55917896_b.jpg20160326-DSC_0266 edit by chronumn, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1611/...fd4f1a54_b.jpg20160327-DSC_0286 edit by chronumn, on Flickr Thinking about doing a full black out on the engine bay, wrinkle black manifold, piping, and black IC.

Very nice FD you got there!
And yeah I support your idea for the wrinkle black powder coat! :icon_tup: |
Just curious why you ditched the air box? You'll be sucking in hot rotary engine bay air now. Car looks great btw, very clean. I say keep some aluminum pieces for a nice contrast. Maybe soda blast them so they look factory fresh.

Quick photoshop of SSR's new GTX01's on the FD. I can get these for a VERY good price so I'm thinking about it, if 17x10 +38 RPF1's don't clear my brakes.
Sizing would be 17x9 +18 all around. Also thinking about 17x9.5 +35 TC105n's and if I find some money laying around 17x9.5 +28 TE37 Double Pressed Black Attachment 752620 |
Good thing I read the text. These look almost the same as the Enkei you have at the moment.

Similar, these have less spokes and no halo. I'm really just looking to downsize to a 17" I actually like my current wheels. However in 17's they don't have the concave face.

RPF1's in 17 will clear your big brake kit. Love these

I have 17x10 rpf1s and printed or the template for the Stoptech brakes and they do indeed fit. I want those brakes so bad! Lol
