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!

RXS3VN

brakes arrived
and fitted





wheels arrived and fitted up with brakes

also carbon roof spoiler fittted up



well last day off before i go to work
so i bolted up the recaros (fit awesome!) started fitting up the harness



also a nardi steering with a works bell quick release boss kit



also my carbon lip arrived so fitted up



all fitted up


and just as i finished the missues dad saw the weather was good so pulled out the hot rod



and went for a cruise..



to end to the day

RXS3VN

Rolled it out on the weekend

(NOTE NO MOTOR OR GEARBOX IN AS OF YET)





(exhaust not fitted 100% due no motor shenanigans lol)



In progress ATM complete car rewire was SIM-RX3

RXS3VN

And other bits and pieces like wiring and etc

Stilling waiting on suspension etc to come
And custom carbon interior pieces from the states....

It's new home for a for a while with the boys at race solutions ...
(sorry for the shitty pic )

RXS3VN

New haltech arrived 2day



Hoping to have the new motor and turb dummy fitted in next couple of days
With pics

RXS3VN

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..

RXS3VN

well nothing major to update just mocking up bits and pieces like gearbox,turbo,fuel sytem set up.etc


waiting on a set of titanium stud kit for the 20b from the states...express isnt fast enough lol!




and lastly i bought a set of cheap 2nd hand doors trims (THANKS FREAKY!) and stripped them and to get remade into carbon (didnt wanna wreck my good pair lol)

RXS3VN

anyways another quick update
motor and gearbox all mounted 100%
in the process finalising turbo and gate manifold setup
anyway here's 2 pics i quickly took yesterday while i dropped off some parts

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.
