sounds great, i'll hit you guys up when I get my wheels and finish a little more tuning

 

My wheels just showed up! Work Emotion XD9 in MBL:





Found a leak in my Fluidyne radiator so it's being swapped out for a new Koyo R1443N. Will post pics of the new wheels mounted later in the week

 

Snap
Nice build
Will u be finished before the picnic?

 

Car is looking real nice. Nice build.

 

thanks guys...

I won't be in full boost by then, still want to put some more miles in before we dyno tune, but I should be there!

 

I have used those Hankook V12 EVO on my Work Meister's since I bought them. You will like them. Great traction at a great price.

Build is looking great.

Mind posting specs on your wheels?

 

thanks...

R: 18x10 +18
F: 18x9 +20

 

Some more updates... not the best pics cuz the car is still on the rack getting a few little things done before she comes home with me. Here's some pics test fitting the wheels and with the SakeBomb garage LED tail lights installed:








will post proper pics next week.

 

WOW that's an awesome build you did :O love the wheel

 

Looks great, now take some better pics

 

very nice!

 

thanks guys, yes sorry about the pics I will get some good ones up soon

 

nice

 

Nice build... you passed me up on mine =P

 

I used to run 18 x 9 ET 18 in the front (click my avatar for a pic), but your front wheels look like stick out further than mine did, so you're probably going to want to trim some of the soft (non-structural) metal towards the front of the wheel well, otherwise, your tires will probably rub when you turn. I had to use an air dremel on mine, but it only takes a few minutes per side. I also trimmed all four fenders to 1/8". My car's pretty low, so I also shifted the wiring harness so the right side front wheel doesn't tear it up.

From the pictures, the paint looks good, and it looks like the rear fenders were molded in nicely.

 

thanks for the tips... I am worried about rubbing and think I went too wide on the front tires, thinking of going a little less wide and stretching a bit to help with fitment. what size tires did you have best results with?

 

i'm thinking I will be putting 255/35/18's up front

 

amazing build bro!
from what i see its going to turn out lookin hawt. (+1 on better pics)

sex on wheelz.
funny that it looks like what im planning minus the lights and wheels and slightly different paint... a little more flake and a different hue of red for me
still looks sick

 

Wow thats amazing. I love a freshly painted VR.

Cant wait to do my car.

What exhaust is that btw? Is that the older RSR? It looks new.

 

it's the racing beat single tip... it looks new because the body shop got some overspray on it so they painted and polished it for me =P

 

Damn, it looks pretty nice in real pic.

I have seen pics of it on websites and for some reason, it looks alot smaller and uglier.

But it looks really nice and stock looking on your car. I wish i would have gotten that instead of my PFS.

While the PFS is one of the best sounding for our cars, its loud and it drones like crazy on the highway.

Do you have a sound clip of your exhaust?

 

That is a lot of hard work. Congrats on bringing the car back. It looks awesome.

What did you use to paint the subframes?

 

Thanks, yea I am happy with it... keep in mind I have a straight through borla muffer serving as a midpipe to keep the drone down, as seen here:



There's a video here on my blog from a lil while back but you can hear the note at least http://www.rx7blog.com/?p=35

 

Thanks, I wish I could take credit but JR from JR Fabrications did all the hard work. I'll find out the paint he used on the subframe... if anyone needs a great rotary mechanic in the trasure coast area PM me for his details.
