THE TECH's 94 CW
New to the RX-7 world but not new to the JDM life. Working on my collection of cars that are the pride of Japan, I have just acquired a 1994 CW base (PEP) that was one owner and completely stock. It will sit nicely next to my 1995 Supra and 2013 GT-R.
I've never been one to do build threads but I have my new best friends urging me to document this new experience so I will attempt to make it happen...**cough cough** ZoomZoom and GoodfellaFD3S. Even though as of this moment, the car is not in my possession, I have acquired a TON of parts for this build with TONS more en route. To start things off, here is a teaser of a few of the parts I've snapped some quick photos of. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...89eb81db3f.jpg Apex'i Power FC https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f87a5b59ce.jpg OEM Stanley Lights https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cd56af6a4d.jpg Next MIRACLE Titanium Cross Bar - 35mm https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d16256a892.jpg Car shop GLOW Rear Taillights https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a9e6863202.jpg Car shop GLOW Rear Carbon Spoiler https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...26700c44d5.jpg 929 Master Cylinder https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ef683a769b.jpg Turbojeff Power FC/Datalogit Mount https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...aa52c89bac.jpg AEM AFR https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8cea48f3d8.jpg Tial BOV https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cf2b2a1fd6.jpg Idemitsu Premix https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...bff3ce2718.jpg JDM Floormats https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1bf2d49d2b.jpg Odyssey PC680 Battery |

Why do you say that?
Like the guy in the Porsche club with the 944 wearing the Porsche hat, Porsche shirt, Porsche watch, Carrera glasses and Porsche shoes. It starts to look a little, well, "played out" as the kids used to say (do kids still say "played out"?). I think with time, the "trinkets" come and go... but fuck it, it's your car and your path. None of it is permanent. Lord knows I've done questionable shit and come back around on it. :) What's the rotor in the upper left next to the Mazdaspeed Oil Cap? |

I think Gordon is coming from a good place (check his build thread) and doesn't mean any offense. In my opinion, sometimes pushing one thing too far, can become a little "on the nose".

The piece you're asking about replaces the dipstick handle. |

I know. I found the HKS after I bought the SBG. I'll decide which to use down the road. I know the HKS units have been discontinued for some time so I can resell if I end up using the SBG stuff. Always like the HKS stuff so decided it wouldn't hurt to have it.
I ended up with the SBG coils. Only thing to pay attention to is the dwell settings in the P-FC. :icon_tup: |

I didn't want in any way to seem judgemental, but you have such a beautiful and I'd guess fairly stock low mile Chaste White car that it just naturally seemed to me that keeping it a bit more stock-ish might be more appropriate. But, I'm sort of one of the original guys who really felt strongly about a stock look. That said, many people don't like my grill and think it's a bit gauche... ;) All the rotor things can always be put on or taken off easily, so go for it.
Couldn't agree more. It's like, when I first bought my old Testarossa, I bought a boatload of Ferrari stuff, like a cap, a vest, T-shirt, blanket, etc. Now they sit in a closet. :) TECH... It's a beautiful car and I can't wait to see what you do with it! I'm not one to keep ANY vehicle stock, so that really was never an option. |
I would swap out the A-pillar for a Fly rx7 (frank) center speaker gauge pod. My opinion, but it looks cleaner. A-pillar reminds me of Fast and the furious

I have thought about that. Are they still available? Not sure what other gauge I'd want to run.
His email is flyrx7@aol.com I have one and really like it |

Sure is. You can do a dual or triple or 4 gauge pod. Whatever you wish.

RX7.COM | FD Gauges You might also want to look into the RE-Amemiya column mount pod. I love that for the boost gauge. Made to hold a 52mm gauge, but a dremel will allow a 60mm gauge to fit.:icon_tup: https://image.nengun.com/catalogue/1...eter_panel.png |

Rotary Performance also sells the TriPower Pods - which are similar to the Fly pods - I don't have an opinion one way or another.

Yeah there are a lot of bad reviews on the Tripower ones. I was going to do the column mount until I decided I wanted more than one gauge.

Oh really? I was not aware, I had one for years and never noticed an issue. But like I said, I don't have an opinion one way or another, just throwing another option out there. :icon_tup:
