As Orion said... just take the screw's out. thats what i did with mine. the torque on the lug bolt is more than enough to hold everything in place. those screws are there just to help. in no way are they load bearing.

Thanks Orion. i may be down your way this summer with the car. i'll have to stop by. as for wheels....i haven't solidified any sizes yet but so far from my mock-up rear fender on my parts car they should be 15x10's. i thought about getting the Work Cr-01's but they would have cost $2600 for the set of 4. to me thats too much to spend on wheels. so i'll opt for some more stock car wheels most likely.

ha ottawa lovin, I don't go down Bronson. thats the only road i avoid. other than that as crazy as it sounds, my front suspension rides really smooth. i took my time adjusting it and making it ride properly and just look ahead at the road and you're golden. I graduated from carleton in december.

 

awesome guys, this forum is a life saver! Now if i can get the backfire and idle problem corrected... With the screws out do i need shorter wheel studs since sinking them tight goes through the hub and into the rear brake internal components? Im such and amature...

 

hey, no you don't need to get different lug bolts. they are perfectly fine. do you have any vac leaks? that will hurt/change and idle. also your mixture screw might need adjusting. also check your timing. it might be off if you are backfiring like crazy.

go through the FSM and it will help you with setting up the carb.

 

Omg if you got CR1's you'd be driving my dream set up! I hope you do tho mad props sir. Sadly I'll be in school and probably won't have the work I want done to mine

I can't wait to see this thing hopefully in person again.

 

what are your plans to do with rear watts? i was thinking about to swap it with panhard when i had my SA. I got another one now.
old SA
how did you manage to make the supra insert to bolt in with rx7 top hat (camber plates)?

 

i do have respeed camber plates. the only thing i used was the supra tubes and new better dampers. everything else is still first gen suspension parts

 

So does that work out to roughly +12 ? ? Thx!

 

thats so freaking nice man. i love it. how low can i go on stock springs. (frunt n back) and how do i do it? im a new rx7 owner and would love to lower it. i have after market rims all ready 15s hers a pic. i only put the two on the back for now. let me know what u think

 

no 4.5 on an 8 is exactly 0et. people don't take into account the rim lips when they do rim calcs. a rim lip is 0.5" so an 8" rim when measured is inside lip to inside lip. so an 8" measures 9" hence 4.5 is half of 9.

on the cheap you can get racing beat springs that go an inch lower. anything beyond that you will have to replace your dampers and get some sort of coilover kit, check out respeed.

 

Ahh-ok, so its +0! (or -0) Zero offset...has such a nice ring to it...

 

Dammit, double post...anyways, lovin' your FB mayne.

 

so thers nothing i can do with the stock ones then? i wanna redo all of the under belly but just cant aford it right now. just trying to make it look a lil more better with the 15s on there. thanks for the responed. love the car man. cant stop stairing at it.

Sorry for this inconvenience everybody.

 

is this you?
found it on my fb soooo sexy!!!!

 

My page broom posted it to mazda rotary apreciation society

 

Yeah thats me. sorry for no updates, i've been building my 12a turbo track car and am waiting on wheels for this one.

 

So its been quite some time.

so i decided i would CAD up some plates and use my water jet resource to make them. here is the 12a turbo mani that i made.





so the engine in the grey car actually gave up on me so its time to get the swap underway.

I pulled both the engines and swapped trannys.




here is the 12a with my turbo mani on it with the s4 turbo sitting nicely



next i finally got my rear wheels after 3 pairs they are still the wrong specs but i think i'm going to keep these ones. so here is a rough idea how the rears are going to fit.





I'll have some more pics of the engine in the grey car.

I have to swap the fuel system over to the grey car and hook up the intercooler, oil cooler and rad.

 

So i got to my intercooler and piping tonight. its all plumbed in.

 

Very clean build!!!

 

love the exhaust setup

 

Been following your build since the start looks so ******* dope man love it. What size/offset wheels did ya end up going on the rear?

Also, have you had any dramas with the camber tops giving no articulation for the springs? I recently got a heap of gear from RE-Speed shipped to Australia and am concerned about their camber top setup.

 

I love the rims and the nice turbo setup

greets from germany

 

Love your FB dude, I'm thinkin the same thing for mine I wanna be pretty low on diamonds 15x8s. But i'm doing an s4 TII swap lol. Good to see another FB owner from Ontario!

Oh and looking at those turbos you should hybrid whichever one your using. I'll be running a T04B//HT18 hybrid.

 

Still lovin this build. I'm sendin my 13b out today to a friend to see what's wrong with it. You planning on going to h2oi?

 

not sure if i'll be able to make it with the rx7 to h20 but i may still go.
