Purple rx7's look amazing! It's a shame nobody ever paints them that color

 

^ Drift Union?!?

Nice build thus far, interior is kinda dope lol

 

Their color is more of a lavender, Im talking a deeper color.

 

I agree! I think it's just such a bold color and not many people are brave enough to drive something that bright

but on another note, here's an update: got to drive my car for the first time in over 10 months last week and it feels amazing! still not allowed to boost as I'm still running a stock ECU and it can't handle all the upgrades. Hopefully by the end of the year I'll have a stand alone and some bigger injectors and I'll be back to the track in no time.

Here's a pic of all the RX-7's at BHP (Brandner High Performance)!

Is that dash carpet available from mazda?

 

I don't think I have it anymore, sorry. I threw everything out when I moved. The only interior pieces I have left is the driver and passenger seat.

 

^^ picture needs more rx7s.

 

brap brap brap for ever

 

i have a turboII white

 

So I'm starting to prep the car for an intercooler. We have been throwing around the idea of either doing a front mount or v-mount. The intercoolers are both around the same size but the difference in length of piping would be significantly shorter with a v-mount and wouldn't require inner fender cutting. On the other hand the fmic would be cheaper and would happen sooner. What do you guys think?




Also, on my down time I have started cleaning up the chassis wiring harness, cutting out erroneous plugs



Lastly, a really good friend of mine and also a fellow RX-7 owner got me this for Christmas. I don't think I couldn't thank him enough!

 

Nice

 

Veryyyy nice!

 

hey bro

 

nice.. who is doing the work?

 

hi mensah, we are making her do a bulk of the work

 

Sweet! I'd either choose vmount, or mount the intercooler directly against the radiator in a sandwich fashion.

 

Hi andrew! Welcome the wonderful world of owning a RX-7. Like Mark said I'm trying to do most of my own work but since I'm not as mechanically inclined as I would like to be I definitely get some guidence from the seasoned vets. For all my fab work (cage, intercooler piping, ect.) I go to Kevin Smith (KSR) in North Florida

 

NICE! im think about putting a aftermarket intercooler on my 89

 

Wow! Nice Ela! I like the bold purple Leopard print. Are you keeping the exterior white? I have no doubt my old parts will go to great use ^_^

 

I was quite surprised how much wire I didn't need and it was surprisingly heavy. I would say 5-10 lbs or so.


Installed the detachable NRG steering hub, finally the steering wheel will sit a couple more inches away from the dash. Maybe now I won't accidently turn the wipers on while I drift.



Redoing the paint on my cage and doing the interior. Decided to paint the cage first because it's easier to tape that up then to keep over spray off the fresh new interior paint job.

Before:



After:

 

Minty mint!

 

finished shot of the new paint job, I love the way way the gold on white pops


I bought some white loom and started cleaning up the wiring some more



I'm also designing my own gauge pod here's what I have so far and for under $15 I'll be able to say it's custom made, I just hope it turns out the way I want it to




going to sand and paint tomorrow

 

Looking good!!!

 

That roll cage looks awesome

 

Gorgeous, great mix of quality and in your face drift style.
