Where to start... hmmm...

Well I used to drive this pile of bandwagon trendiness:



Low and slow was fun but cracking oil pans got fun and became stupid. Plus the engine went out at 65k miles and I was already extremely frustrated with it, and I already have a backup daily, so I indulged my Gran Turismo 3-induced childhood fantasies and bought this pile:



It is a 1987 Rx7 NA shell with a full TII swap (engine, lsd, etc)
Mods include:
-S4 Engine w/ S5 intake manifold, S4/S5 Hybrid turbo, S5 550cc Injectors
-Rotary Works V-Mount
-Poweredbymax Coilovers
-JTP Knuckles
-3" Corksport downpipe/Exhaust to Blitz Nur-Spec fart cannon
-Gilmer Drive
-Bolt In half cage
-17x9/10.5 Mustang Bullitt Wheels, 215/40F / 225/50R
-Unknown make Rear Sway Bar (its green?)
-Shine Auto hood
-Nasty ricer widebody fenders
-Half gutted interior with wires everywhere
-A reverse-wire-tucked bay; (There are wires everywhere!)

So yeah. The Fenders were in horrendous condition IMO but I knew a guy who really wanted them... So we traded.







I know its not much to look at. But I'm working at it. Lets see, I have ordered a Sparco Rev, 750cc RC injectors for the secondaries, ecu at digital tuning for the RTEK1.7 install, cage is out and being painted (maybe getting a crossbar welded in to mount harnesses too), And I know a local guy selling a Shine Auto aero kit for cheap, so I may snag that if I can scrounge the cash up. Also planning on cutting the can off the exhaust and welding on some aspec blast pipes instead and am thinking of vinyl wrapping if I can't afford paint. Going lower as well, of course. I'd like some new wheels, but I'm poor. No, it'll never be a cool pro-am car like a lot of you guys on here. I just plan on taking it to the local drift parties and enjoying myself with it. She's extremely loud, obnoxious, smelly, tempermental and a lot of fun.

 

Looks great man. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun in that car. With the R-W Vmount: Be careful around bumps, potholes, curbs, etc. It hangs the radiator down really low and can really get scraped up and damaged. I think I can see that the lower hose has been relocated to the side which is damn near a necessity.

 

nice! what are your plans for the fc? oh and what rims are those in the very first pic on the scion?

 

It is a fun car, just can't wait to drive it some more haha. The radiator does hang low, which sucks because I want to lower the car more, but w/e I'm used to driving really carefully and such. The scion taught me that much. As for the old wheels on the scion, they were BBS Style 5's. I went through a couple sets on that car, the bbs, some brotas, rpf1's, and the Alphards. I'd like to get some rpf1's on the fc as well as some Regamasters.

 

Sick little drift beater. Regas are my dream wheel. I just can't find any with the size and offset I want. Good luck man!

 

how much you paid?

 

Def an upgrade from the skion.

 

I want the Junkhouse Rega's. Im sure they're sold by now though.

A little over $4

thanks. Its def a lot more fun, nice to be in a car where it does have the ability to go fast, not just be riced out to look fast...

[QUOTE=Derex'7;10941005]Lol I'm just kidding. Thats what he wanted for it though. I offered and paid quite a bit less than that. I told him for $4k I want at least a front bumper lol.

 

I'm lovin' your whip! Your FC has so much character, it's awesome... Be sure to have fun with it dude!

 

Good to see the fc is getting some love!
