Once upon a time a young man traveled to Japan and decided after hundreds of hours of researching (and lurking on the RX7CLUB forum)
He had to buy a Rotary because pistons are too boring and life is too short.

So I picked up the cleanest and best driving RX7 I could. I took a trip to Kikoba in Japan and found a plethora of JDM hero cars but the 7's were all I cared for.

I decided early on I wanted a beautiful car that could do most things(subpar offroading) I decided the RX7 could very well do it.
Hopefully with the right mix of mods I'm hoping to get this car into the 11's for the 1/4 mile, be a sticky track car, true street car and a sweeeeet drift car.

The final goal is somewhere in the 400's for HP on twins. I figure this would be enough power for the 11's on slicks and lighting off a hard pair of 50$ drift tires and good but not overwhelming power for track/street on a stickier set.

Final performance mod list is looking something like this;
Coilovers,new bushings/pillowballs/motormounts/diff mounts,forged wheels, ECU, full exhaust, some kind of cold air intake, AI Methanol injection, BNR Stage 3 turbos, new fuel system, street port rebuild,B&M short shifter,koyo rad, front mount intercooler, aftermarket bov, Light weight flywheel, S/S clutch,along with some premix and the right alignment/tires for the task at hand.

So far I've got quite a few.
ECU Haltech Elite 2000
Coilovers Tein Super streets
wheels Volk Racing EVO 2 multi-piece(they're old but seem fairly light for what they are) rolling 17-235/45 & 255/40 last I remember.... might bump to 255 front and change the rear to 275 if I can.
supra TT fuel pump
AI injection AEM kit/sakebomb trunk mounted tank
front mount greddy replica
SSQV BOV (yes I'm a child who likes whooosh noises)
koyorad
light weight flywheel/counterweight 12lbs ACT
fresh clutch and pressure plate good for 400ftlb's ACT
laptop and a case of premix.

The car also has 2 oil coolers factory(Guess they knew it was gonna be needed in Japan's traffic lol) so that ticked a box off the list.
There is also no precat causing insane amounts of heat. Still was a hot motor before the koyorad and some 80/20 water/coolant and some water wetter to help keep temps down. A buttload of ducting has been done too and I'll post as I get all my photos imported to the laptop and more spare time.

So far my butt dyno(and injectors maxing out at 94% duty cycle)
along with general info from this lovely forum say I'm around 300hp at 12PSI boost.(probably a lot less lol)
Can't confirm this yet but will as soon as I can get her on a Dyno for a good tune.
Mostly loved on with all the basic maintenance items complete. I'll post here as the build goes along and hopefully finishes within 3 years... fast and hopeful I know but that's the goal and I'm dead set on getting there less something catastrophic in my life happens.

Gonna keep the body mostly stock...
I LOVE POPUP HEADLIGHTS
Don't plan on a wing delete either these cars just look kinda funny to me without one.

Here's some photos for your viewing pleasure.
