Nice, what are your plans for it?

Nothing is rolled. Previous owner had the car lowered 1.5 with just springs. Gonna be switching to coilovers shortly
|
Sub'd.
Interested in the plans for it... Also, nice garage haha. |
Looking good.
What's next? |

then monday the car is going to a shop for some testing and cooling/ecu upgades The car however only has 30k original miles so Im not going to be doing anything crazy. I'm just looking to make her beautiful again and keep her running happy/cool.....and test the patience of my wife =P |

Momo wheel looks sharp indeed, man oh man do I hate the OEM steering wheel :ar:
What prompted the tire choice? Curious. |
^ Agree, first thing I switched out on my car was the steering wheel.
Car looks good. |

that specific tire had really good reviews.As far as the actual tire size goes a few other guys were running this fitment and I thought it filled the wheel well perfectly with the 17s. Also Here in good ol Massachusetts there are potholes that will swallow your car
|
Car is off at synaptic 3 in NH for a while. I will post updates when I have them. Until then....https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cb301da772.jpg

well the parts list is complete. Looking for some feedback.
|
Wow 18k? That’s a lot of money to me.
Are you you thinking you are going to do all that stuff? Can you do any of the work or you rather just pay someone to do it all? |
Ya, and that’s just the parts. Not sure if I’m going to be able to do it all.
|
What are your plans for this car? That list looks like a "money is no object" build.
A couple of things that seem weird to me are the fuel system and the turbo choice. Why are they going with a CJ Motorsports twin pump assembly, single Walbro 450, 1100/2100 injectors and an EFR 7670 turbo? That turbo will never need that much fuel. Are you doing anything to the engine? The 7670 will need to build more psi than the stock engine can handle if you want around 350whp. Also, those FFE motor mounts are nice but not necessary. A set of stock steel arms and poly/xcessive mounts will do well. $2500 for inconel heat shield is nice. Don't know if you need it though. I've never run an EFR kit but it can't generate that much more heat than a conventional single turbo setup unless you're doing long track sessions. There are a lot of "this would be nice to have" and not a lot of "you must have" on that list. |
Ya, that's one hell of a list. I had a list like that, then I did some soul searching and prioritizing. I knocked it down quite a bit put some stuff on the backburner and compromised on some but the FFE mounts are still on it (they're just awesome).
|
I did some soul searching myself. added a decent set ohlins coilovers to the list and green lit the build. Updates will be in as I get them!
|
You are getting the shop to that all the stuff on the list? If so, dang!
|
That's the way to do it. A dream list that grows (sweet). Can't wait to see it come together. "Added a decent set of Ohlin's" I love it. (those were part of my compromise plan)
|
You decide on what all you going to do?
Any exciting updates? |
