Hello everyone! Pleasure to be on here!!
Recently picked up a beat 86 Rx-7 Sport model meeting my extensive 3 point criteria: non-sunroof, white, n/a. Don't have any plans with this build, just going to have fun and document what I can in the process. First day Attachment 627528 Attachment 627529 That diamond plate :sweatdrop... Attachment 627530 more nonsense Attachment 627531 |
good news, there is bucket loads of spare interior parts in the classifieds from failed drift projects. You will be back to 100% in no time.

Good to know! Love how much parts availability the fc has
Got the oem carpet reasonably clean, It will have to do for now. Going to post a lot of these before and after pictures. Attachment 627446 Haven't been getting much done since my work schedule has been really funky lately but I managed to clean out the interior and change out the shift knob. Shifter bushings are virtually non-existent so got a new set from atkins on the way. Attachment 627447 |
:icon_tup: THREAD REVIVAL! :icon_tup:
This was 7 months ago now when I was test fitting my rx3 fender mirrors (these fenders are trash) and wanted to get a good starting point picture haha. A lot has changed and some photos I will post are gonna be old and not in order. Had to set aside the 7 due to lack of funds/now ex-girlfriend/and plain ole lack of motivation https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...546fb5706e.jpg |
So far in this picture
~RE type I mirrors ~Clear sidemarker lens ~Vert wheels (something to roll around on since the sawblades are bent) ~Removed most of the black rattlecan paint from the t2 hood ~Found out t2 hood is aluminum! Score! ~Removed windshield side moulding ~Painted wipers meh https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d939e4103d.jpg |
Some updated rear lighting
~Scraped most of the tail light gasket ~Clear 3rd brake light ~S5 tails ~claybar and polished some of the rear monocoque ~Removed s4 wing ~New rollers. More on that later https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a4d15d001e.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...94a143aa36.jpg That's it for tonight. Off to work! |
Put the wing back on, it's one of the most desirable options around.
|
It's a little too subtle for what Im going for. Got something special coming in the mail to replace

More booty pics :aroused:
More cragslist finds ~S5 rear bumper ~Modified EI distrubutor ~Very clean antenna ~S5 door trim ~Tps sensor https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2dcd4328c8.jpg The whole interior of the car was covered in the same fine sooty dirt. Much nastier than it looks. Surprised the rear foam was in tact, it's staying on. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a9be63cf51.jpg Much better, swapped out the rear side mouldings with clear lenses I had sitting to match. Cleaned up nice. Just waiting on a couple of aero pieces to come in the mail and the rear of the car will be done (Aesthetically anyways) https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7512acd387.jpg OH! More craigslist finds later today! Making a two hour trip to pick up some black carpet pieces. Super stoked for that adventure |

New bins and floor mats from garage moon power, they make universal sizes that fit the fc contours pretty well https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d4fbd723b6.jpg |
S4 dash I got a while back and yesterday's pick up
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...54ce02c435.jpg Fresh pedal rubbers courtesy of Mazda https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...c94f7bdb12.jpg Nardi 360mm woodgrain + Nardi hub combo And my favorite interior piece so far, 3d printed cupholder! (Nos and boost buttons not supplied) https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...4a40f93d18.jpg |
I like where this is going.
|
Man do these sensatracs suck! Bilsteins and no name springs? I have no idea what brand they are but it's a minimal drop, going with proper coilovers but don't want to mess with adjusting suspension components just yet till the engine/drivetrain is solid
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...380e5a68ec.jpg |
How she sits now
~polished turn signal lens ~rattlecan trim + filler spots on hood ~claybar/waxed entire car ~scuffed rust + adhesive off doors & fenders PO drilled sloppy holes in what could have been easily saveable ftp lenses. On the fence on restoring them or getting used units. We shall see https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...b66bbe1569.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ef0b5f7564.jpg |
Nice Build I like the Black interior conversion. I want to do that myself and ditch the horrid blue everything lol.

Picked up an s5 bumper in ok condition and a fog light switch for fogs I don't have lol
Was not in the right mindset when picking this up and feel I overpaid but oh well... You win some and you lose some. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5f18d75e02.jpg |
Waiting on
~Rear wing ~Rear bumper gaurds ~Valve stems ~Lug nuts ~S5 Turn signal lens Need to buy ~Front lip ~Side skirts ~Fogs ~Driver's door (white) ~S5 fenders ~Windshield ~Misc gaskets ~Tires Should be it for the exterior... Then moving on to engine/drivetrain |
