I got to find out what type of flares they are from my friend i was at his house one day and i liked how they looked and bought them from him as suspension goes for the moment the springs were cut a little but im trying to do some custom coil overs with ground controls and tokicos

Sure it is! if you buy another rx7 and make it look like your old one before you did that, you can reverse it daily!

I've been wanting my 7 to have that sort of stance since i got it. something about FB's that are lowered and sitting on wide wheels just gives me a fuzzy feeling inside.

Engine broke on the rx7! It happened 3 weeks ago I was driving it down the street shooting flames out the back like a boss and it starting making a loud noise drove it back home and parked it took the engine out and found that the oil pump chain had stretched and started jumping . The reason the chain stretched was because the pump started seizing so pretty much the engine is ffff up because of all the copper on the bottom of the oil pan.


But im not complaining it just gave me a reason to do this still need to clean it up a bit, the engine is a JDM s4 TII with a stage 3 clutch and an HKS to make some noise
