Backup Streetcar build. Buckey's '87 TurboII RX7
 

http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos...190_n.jpg?dl=1

Got it blown. I sold my entire ecu, injector, turbo setup from my black FC 2 weeks after FD Irwindale to the owner of this car. Pretty ironic how things work out. I always kicked myself in the ass for letting that setup go. Had no idea it was the same car until yesterday when i put this guy in it

Just going to do mild build streetcar, cage it as a backup car and get it to meet tech requirements. Hoping to have it on coils, painted, do spindles, clutch, and get more wheels by FD Vegas.

Motor build. RA super seals, new coolant seals, and magic port.

Going to have a Haltech Sprint RE soon here. More pics to come.

this is cool....can't wait to see it done man.

Thanks dude! Cant wait to see it on wheels, aero an painted and not demolish it every 30 days... Hahaa

Tossing the motor back together tonight an into the car. Pics soon

lol very true....can't wait to do something like this to my car. also what type of kit are you planing on running?

I was going to use GP front, GP sides, a s5 rear/diffuser but i noticed lex has the same setup now almost.
Im going to just do BN and modify it a little. i might try the front without the cutouts, but idk... I like the cutouts too - but i also like having lights up on the streetcar... Haha idk. I want to get/make a rear diffuser for the BN and cut out the center between the exhaust holes. Just try some different stuff an see what happens

Ended up deciding to use the stock for now so i can veat on it until i get the RE. The 45r is going on red car and the 35r is going on this - unless i could sell it. Pretty much whatever sells first is what route in going as i still have the red fc to kill my leftover funds...

Bro, I've been following your builds and you never cease to amaze. Can't wait to see what's in store for this one.

Paint it 2011 seasons color.

Shoot! Thanks buddy! Everyone is raising the bar these days im just trying to keep up. So many good fcs out there to inspire us all. This car is going to be rad cause i wont be destroyig it at events all the time.

This right here!! I want to. Heres my chance to remake that style.

Ok cool....yeah the GP sport kit is a little played out. Don't get me wrong i love the look of it but i feel its the go to body kit. Have you ever thought about the Sexy Style body kit?

or what about the M sport kit?(this is just the front bumper not the whole kit)

+1, but only if the car will be low. Like mad low. Custom headlight cutouts in true "Buckey" fashion would be pretty dope too.

I cant seem to get away from the cutouts! Lol theyre just so damn good! I want this thing to be everything the race car cant be. Subs, low as it will go. Crazy front camber, canards. Lol just need to keep working and get $$$ together and hopefully it will come together.

race car motor found its home after a little mishap and 2 builds later. Needless to say its running, ported larger than before (in red car) and has a fresh RWS Super Seal kit. This was the motor that survived 24psi untuned on pump gas for over 30pulls, and all of the RA internals were solid. Replaced the cracked iron, and 2 side seals, and threw in fresh race springs/apex seals, and its golden again. Drove it home tonight.

Now the fun part goes down. Engine bay paint, chassis paint, aero, wheels, coils, spindles, and power steering.

24hrs later.

Waiting on a fender roller to dump the rear all the way down. Wanting to pull the whole quarter out but wont know how aggressive i can get it till i mess with it in the next day or so.

Looking good! Needs to be tucking though, looks a little donky at that height haha

Please put on all the trim pieces. :icon_tup:

@kinch its coming! I have them all just been excited to drive so ive been putting it off lol. Im thinking of painting it this month. Probably do it all at once.

@comic artist i knoww! Lol its killing me too. I have brand new tires on the rear.. Trying not to kill the sidewalls until my friend hits me up with his feder roller. Trying not to get dents in the quarters, or pull them with a jack handle and dent the body lines when the metal pulls. Not trying to whore this one out and have to get overs immediately

Haha I gotcha. What do you do as far as tires? Any tire sponsorships yet?

Good! Sticking white?

Nothing yet, aside from reduced pricing in exchange for stickers with a few companies. I havent been driving so i havent pursued anything. Pretty much the same deal for all the Privateer FD Guys.

@will, no. Although i do like it, but its just not for me. I've had 3 seperate cars try to drive into it today... Im thinking last years red, s5 jdm gunmetal silver/blue, or bmw m3 staughlgrey metallic.. To be honest though the white paint is mint. I might leave it for a while and see what happens.

why would you build this when your track car doesnt even run?

I gotcha. I think gunmetal would be sweet, but you can't have two red cars :P

You should rock the rpfs to! not a huge fan of them but 2011 was sickkkkk

Thanks! I agree. I miss those things too now. For some reason that color combo just worked.

The rpfs i had just popped back up on the local forum but for like $1300... Im Really wanting to do those, but i think bronze 17/18 TEs, or AME Shallen CXs are goin on it later this year.
