83 GSL is BACK ready to be built
 
Hey everyone i have not put any updates on my blue body kitted rx7 in along time just commented and asking questions about doing a 13b REW swap

but for the past years there has been some stuff going on in my life that kinda screwed me up and screwed alot of things. well i started doing some dumb stuff like modding my daily driver a 1996 Honda Civic SI (Canadian or in the USA it would be the EX)

like alot of mods here are some pics of it

well its a start i am going to repaint it blue and i am not going to keep the hood scoop i want a carbon fiber hood that they do make and i am keeping the light scoop i think its sexy looking

but i think i am going to keep the rims on it but i want to see what my rims on my civic look like on it because of the offset is for a RWD 35+

Thank you very much for destroying that kit. Definitely a step in the right direction!


Good luck with the rebuild!

openshot 10-01-12 09:04 PM

well no real updates right now its back out side because i am painting the honda civic before winter so i can sell it. but then the rx7 is going back in. i need a few parts i need front fenders and front and rear bumper shocks so i can bolt on the bumpers.

bad news. the job did not work out. so i am going to wait on the 13B REW swap and maybe try and get my 12a running right and drive her like that and save up over summer on the engine swap

openshot 11-27-12 01:41 PM

well i painted the honda and hear what the rx7 look's outside

well i know alot of you where looking to read on my build and i really wanted to build it and drive it.

but i have some very very very bad news. feb 5 2013 i was forced to scrap it. i was given no time to store it and i had 5 friends i could of put it at.

but i want to get another one soon i am thinking of a 84-85 GSL-SE or just a GSL but another 83 would be best here is the last pic of her
