I suppose i could add my list too:

T2 brakes all around on my FB
Moser axles in the back
Camber plate
Heavy Duty Retainer Plate
Full brake line kit for the calipers
Triangulated strut bar
some bigger rear end gearing probably 4.3 or something like that.
Custom rims
And some toyo proxies r888

still deciding on rim size. But with that rubber and some camber dialed in, I might have a chance to beat Jim at the track this year.

I was hoping to have the supercharger in this year, but I think all the above stuff is more important first to try to improve my own skills first before i go on adding more power. And i have to still fix that fuel starvation issue on left hand turns.

Everything has been bought except for the last 3 things on that list, but should have the other stuff in a couple of months. Oh and maybe i'll go for another tunning session to see if i can gain a few more ponies here and there

 

Take the money your going to spend on the wheels and go to a driving school. Improve the driver, then the car.

 

I'll hire Jim for that ... you think you up to the task Jim? Or is my car too fast for you?

 

Here my list for the fc

finish converting all my interior, including the new black dash, the Bride seats, etc
koyo rad
haltech e6k
kill switch
tuned

 

I finished all my winter mods/repairs a while back. Now I'm working on collecting parts for the spring mods. I'm looking at getting Eibach prokit coils, TCS adjustable sub link, polyurethane bushings, braided stainless cluch line, and hopefully an RB header.

 

I'll help you out Sam, It would have to be a track day at Dunnville though....and yeah could you slow the thing down a little

 

Might just take you up on that

 

Winter repairs? Get the frig'n heater in the barn working. It's damn coooold out there.

 

For me so far I have a few things almost complete.

Powersteering modification to non-power. (internals welded and removed)
Fully sequential ignition. (4 coils and 500R installation)
New pins to E8 for A/D1 autotune function enable.
Tidy up things..........

Planned but not started
Boost control Via E8 rather then AVCR.
New boost/vacuum header with earls lines.
remove turbo timer.

Next year.
reverse hood and odula sides.

Year after
Paint

 

Minor updates for me, modify a 3310 series 750 vac sec holley, and install the nitrous. Secondly, some suspension bushings. The bike purchase will postpone the twincharging dream for another year (and by then, some minor rust repair will likely hit the top of the list)

 

Mine will have to wait for spring. I plan on adding relays to the windows and headlights, clean up some wiring, mount the FPR properly and tune the weber. It was dumping fuel like a ****! Which reminds me, a new cat is needed...'cause the new one that was installed last year is probably burned out. Once that's done, then it's time for the dyno for a real tuning session and some numbers.

 

Well due to a small emergency I'm going to have to drop the R&P kit til taxes come in. If I get a decent return I'll get it. Going to at least get the RE-Speed 4 point strut bar, some new door seals and jets for the carb.

 

Install 99 spec parts, replace my CAT, put the air pump back on, plumb the wastegate back to the pipe (too loud at times) then Paint my car!

 

Ready for 2009 track duty, my new Hoosiers came in

By the look of things you are getting bigger rims as well?

 

My G-force R1's get older and harder with every passing winter. :P

Not even sure what I'm going to do with my rx-7 at this point.

Something though, even if it's just clean the dust off.

 

My winter/spring project is to swap engine, breaks, interior, shocks from my 83 gsl into an 84 with a fried motor, replace all major bushings on it as well. and maybe start on a wide body conversion.
My second project is to clean the engine bay on my 1990 GTU, clean the interior, and do the maintanance on the engine.
Then paint both cars will see how far i can get

 

Yah, I'm buying Dave's 17x9" rims. I was originally planning to get an 18x10" rim so I could fit 285/30/18 Hoosiers but after looking at the cost of buying new rims and the fact that I would have to spend $400 extra every set of tires changed my mind. 275/40/17 will have to do . Besides the demand on my tires won't be as much now with the better suspension .

Woot! I love the smell of R-comps in the morning. R6, or A6's?

 

R6, I don't autocross, need them to last longer then 2-3 laps lol.

thewird

 

I figured, but I've been seeing people using the A6's for track duty - on a light, well-sorted car like the RX-7, they are good for more than a few laps (if not more than a few days!). I've also seen them tracked on relatively heavy cars, like Z06's - money to burn, I guess. Works fine if you really want to get every 1/10th of a second and don't mind paying for it.

 

The A6's lose their optimum grip after a few laps and also wear quicker. You can use them for road racing but they are more of a time attack (or autocross) tire since they get up to optimum temperature quickly. The R6's are made to be in the optimum temperature for long periods and last longer. The A6 is slightly better then the R6 but only for 2-3 laps which is what I ment .

I've ordered, well Sam ordered for me, (ah the life of a trucker, never home to receive packages) the 4 point RE-Speed strut bar and full poly bushings for the rear end and front control arms. He'll also be ordering me a CG Lock and the Mazdatrix watts link reinforcement bracket. New door seals are at NOS reproductions waiting for me to pick them up. Finally I won't have a breeze on my left ankle at all times. Him and I are also buying a parts SA with waffle wheels, and a wiperless rear hatch glass, which will be mine. I'll also be grabbing the trans out of it since my second gear synchro is practically useless. Hopefully I can get the wheels cleaned up and powder coated before DGRR, but no biggie if I don't get that done. I also need to have my oil cooler re-finned. After a trip to Winnipeg in October the fins were beat up and it's in sad shape now.

 

Just got these in the mail . They're a little dirty from the peanuts but otherwise they're in very good condition.

i see ramy came through for you! hot seats.
