Veilside never made an FC kit I don't think. And there might be shine fenders.

ya, I was just referring to your bumpers and skirts. definitely looks like bn or a knock off of bn but who cares as long as it looks good.

I'm TRYING to drift na but ever since I put my psm coils on, my car keeps breaking things.lol

1986 rx7 sport (I think, had the duck bill, no sunroof, no rear wiper, no PS or abs or power anything)
Racing beat street header (free!)
Racing beat presilencer (free!)
2.5" custom piping to thrush muffler (regret. 2 bit local shop. asked for stainless, I get mild steel. too many bends too and my $25 thrush sounds like garbage)
Parts Shop Max coilovers set full soft up front, 2 of 10 in the rear
on car adjustable camber sublink from forum member Karack's group buy.
Stock 15's with 205/65/15's bald block tread in back at 50psi (free), block tread winters up front at 40psi(free,lol)
non working 5th/6th ports (need the split air pipe, searching), bad ball joint, shot trans mounts.

I try.

yeah same here i wanna drift NA but i've been busy making the car reliable. So far no emissions, ps, ac, abs, 5th & 6th port blocked off, bac & omp delete (premix), and replaced the rear diff mounts with solids mounts and Racing beat competiton front mount and double alt pulley setup. I think mine is a gxl since it has a sunroof, 5 lug, and lsd. Tire size is 215/45/17.

You took the words right out of my mouth! People also drift miatas and single cam 240s, both very underpowered cars. We can have fun in our 7s

Not quite where I want to be but here it goes.

86 GXL

Removed: PS, AC, OMP, Air Pump, EGR, 5th/6th port sleeves, Cruise Control

Sitting on (mildly)cut springs till I can come up with coilovers.
Still on stock wheels till I find crown vic meshies(dont hate)

RB header 2.5in straight to unknown y-pipe and cans

Mods that I am saving for: DTSS Elims, Coilovers, Camber Adjusters, Something for Angle, Solid Subframe Mounts, Stronger Clutch, And a HEALTHY Streetport... When this 13b goes

Tell me should I add anything to my wish list for my fc. It wont be just a drift/track car either, planing on having fun weekend drifter that is still streetable.

I drift my miata and rx7. They are both NA but the miata doesn't have LSD yet. So i have no doubt that underpowered cars can drift.

not all of us have deep pockets...

I built my engine out of 4 blown up ones.

I have 0 dollars in this engine even after purchasing gaskets from RA.

I keep the best parts of the engines to make this one then sold the other parts off to cover my costs.

yadda yadda yadda. broke even

I'd need to drop way too much money into an n/a to have the fun I want. I keep grenading n/a driveline stuff anyway, so if I'm getting the trans, d-shaft, diff and axles, I may as well get the snail too.

My **** loses like 80whp every time I carve the local twisty to the top [10k feet]. N/A is cool, but Boost is Best.

There's one the 28th. That's the last one I'll be at before I go up to NY for school.

'91 Vert. 16x8(+20) rotas, not slammed, not flush.

Car is just fine to slide around here for our normal drift days, only fast courses pose problems. At Charlotte Motor Speedway a week and a half ago the pro am cars were doing 85-90mph entries, my car doesnt have the ***** for that. Its fun to drift/drive, thats what I care about.



Stance GR+ Coilovers
Mazdatrix steering angle & bumpsteer kit
Mazdatrix adjustable swaybar endlinks
Energy Suspension Poly Bushing Kit
DTSS Elim Kit
Tanabe Strut Tower Bar
Rear camber adjustment bar
Tii S5 transmission (blew up a few n/a's before I finally switched)
'87 Tii shimmed LSD Diff
Cat Delete Pipe
Ebay Catback(with silencer)
N/A Stage 2 Rtek(autox legal)
HKS Mushroom "intake"
Emissions Delete

Still to install
pinapple oil pan and mazdatrix "competition" engine mounts.
