(aus) RXS3VN's 20b fc3s

Hey there everyone

i have a build thread goin a ausrotary
just thought some of the fc guys on here might like it

bought this car back in 06 pretty stock apart exhaust and wheels from j-land






then it began...
setup 1
t04
front mount
full exhaust
external gate
power fc
injectors
coilovers
19inch envy wheels
and a pair of r32 gtr seats fitted



then the motor decided it had enough
so a complete rebuild began by RACE SOLUTIONS
ported/dowelled/race seals etc etc
custom intake manifold and plenum with 800cc and 1600cc secondaries injectors with custom rails
upgraded to a greddy T88-33D TURBO
and upgraded 50mm tial gate
gilmer drive set
everything either polished or powder coated



then just as i wanted to sell it but luckly
i got hooked on JDM! LOL glad i did

i got so hooked i sold my daily bagged statesman on 22s lol
for
a stock gunmetal s15
which got it fair share of mods aswell as some work wheels.




then i slowly began on the rx7
firstly strip the rx7 to a complete shell
half cage fitted
sound deadening removed
complete wiring removed
smoothed and shaved engine bay


then it came down to colour ....
so i choose the gunmetal r32 gtr colour .. close to the orignal colour but alot more nicer..
so car got painted inside and out (roll cage included)



note: in this pic the car is already half back together:



while the car was in the paint shop i bought
a pair or new recaros with rails



a pair of takata harnesses



and last but not least a set of 19inch bronze VOLK CE28NS!

well it been a very busy couple of weeks for me at work and the boys down at race.

but we managed to atleast dummy the new motor in place late last nite
we will be moving a motor/box further back another 150mm so the 50/50 weight distribution isnt too affected.
we still waiting on the turbo flange to arrived to we could dummy the turbo and gate in place

any way heres some pics tell wat u think!


P.S SORRY FOR PHONE PICS CANT FIND WHERE I'VE PUT MY CAMERA..

I like the build! I already asked in the other thread about the brakes. Specs? Brand? Custom hats or kit?

Thanks,

Riz.

This car is gorgeous. I love the paint you chose to go with the car. Really compliments it, especially with those AP BBK. Exactly how i would want my car. Good luck with the rest of the build!

This car looks amazing! I love the wheels, lug nuts, engine, color, seats, breaks, and pretty much everything about it. Good luck with the rest. I hope someday my FC will turn out just as nice.
