RX-7 Bad Ass

On the dual tube downpipe, I have the Knightsports dual tube on my car. Had a Bonez downpipe from Rotary Performance on before it. Swapped it out back to back, noticed a substantial seat of the pants difference in power and response.
Really didn't expect that, I just wanted a downpipe that was more unique and fit nicely.
BTW, I believe the 2 pipes on mine are 65mm diameter.

They came like that from Prosport (I'll be selling these this summer if anyone interested
)Dale, Can't wait to see your car at DGRR!! Also, did you measure OD or ID?

This is actually a new CF vinyl from 3M (not the NiNOC). I'm currently trying this out and see if it helps from the chip or not. Far was the look, its very close to real CF look.
If anyone interested in getting this, I have a roll... Contact me.

moosejaw is right.. It came in on some of the later clusters... I been mix matching some of them (I have like 10 of various clusters.. from super low US clusters, JDMs, US FDs (93s and 94s), Spirit R, 30th anni, etc.
Gordon, Only one I could easily find is this pic
Mine has the imitation cover (I also have the older cover from FEED) and the black one has the newer FEED signal covers. Newer one does not have the black trim.. its just clear.
Only other update I have is, today, I got some new tires put on the MB FD. I had some bubbles on the PS2 295s and put some Advan Sports. I'm also going to correct the offset a little by going 10mm FIC's new hub centric studded spacers up front and go 15mm Ichiba hub centric studded for the rear (was 15 front and 20mm back). PS. this is all for show.. I prefer not to use spacers. If I was going to track or something, I would use my SSRs. Here is the pic of the car with SSR comps.. my favorite wheels of ALL time

3M Scothprint? Where'd you buy the roll? if you don't mind me asking...
Well, I had some custom made because paint was being chipped (especially when I was running RE01s). But the custom made CF covers didn't fit and looked the way I wanted.

Hmm.. Its ok. I need to adjust it a bit as if its not fully warmed up, it will stall the engine. But warm, no issues. I think I'm gaining a little at top end but it could be all psychological.
I don't think so.. and like everything in my life, drama with that car. Its no longer going to be that color...
How much are you looking for, PM me and I might be able to help.
Now, the UPDATE!!
I got the New Yokohama Advan Sports
in 255/35/18 front and 295/30/18 rear.
They are the same size as my Michelin Pilot Sport 2s... direct replacement.
All I can say is I love these Advan Sports!!! Ride is actually better than PS2s and felt confident as it had more grip than PS2s.
I've also changed the spacers from 15mm front to 10mm and 20mm rear to 15mm...
Here is my review on the FIC spacers (10mm).
Quality on this thing is OK.. actually the socket that came with the spacers, when tightening the nuts, the socket got stripped at about 70-80lbs of torque. Quite disappointing that it got stripped. And I have to run a spacers as RZ calipers are too thick and it will hit the inside of the XD9s. I'm going to change the RZs to Racing Brake BBK.. which I think it will clear the XD9s without the 10mm spacers.
My only concern about 10mm spacers (thinnest ones available) is the min. materials holding the studs. At high impact, I'm worried the studs might rip out of the circular block... or when tightening the lugs it might strip off. But so far, its doing its job.

Hey Herblenny, can you please tell me what intake you have in your mb fd? i believe i have the same one and can't seem to find any info on it. I picked it up from UpGarage when i was in japan and haven't seen anyone else with it. Mine looks exactly the same minus its black and has "m's" on it. It also came with a heat shield to block hot radiator air. Any info you can give me would be awesome. Thank you in advance!

I think Herblenny has the Blitz intake in that pic with different filters. M's is an intake brand in Japan, I think I have an old busted one up in my attic . They're pretty uncommon in the US.
