That's a perfect size for an sr. A friend of mine has one in his s15 and it spools super fast with a front mount. Don't buy MB battles get some used JDM wheels. Pretty sure there's a lot up in the WA area.

 

This is a truck lol Earl's truckasaurus was beautiful

 

Ya trust me im all about not rocking knockoffs too. Just cant think of some nice rims that i wanna put on it lol. dont want any super expensive rims on it though since i drift it. The expensive rims are for my z which is my daily lol. I got 2 pc Rays on that

 

Ya i know all about his. Hes actually from where i track my car at up in washington

 

I love this thing but plz put back on the hatch glass!

 

yaaa i plan to when i get back in the states

 

Did you move the steering rack? Or just reweld the oil pan.

 

Steering rack was moved forward about a inch/inch and a half

 

Really awesome build, I always love seeing different swaps.

 

Well since im deployed now, not really alot of updates besides that im randomly buying stuff for my car while im here and random stuff i need for my motor. Also have a small shop back home where mt car is stored and about 3 buddies work on cars and do work on other peoples rides there. Well found a damn good deal on s5 tails for only $60! LOL cant beat that and my buddy installed em for me since im gone. LOL btw car is so dirty cause its just been sitting there getting dusty

 

Is that center piece for the tails upside down? Sick build though man

 

lol ya looks like it. Well $hit its a track car anyways lol

 

Well traded my bolt in cage for a cusco 2-way diff! Pretty good deal if i say so myself! I been wanting to run a 2-way forever and see the difference between a welded.

 

Oh man what a come up

 

And from a vert. Notice the keyhole.

I'm interested to see what's going on with your steering rack. Got any pics of the subframe?

 

Yup it was from a vert. And no i dont have any pics of the subframe or steering rack. Wish i did, but i forgot to take em before i left

 

How does it affect your steering? Seems like it would make an extremely twitchy trailing wheel near full lock.

 

Not bad at all. Although coming from a 240 into this there is definately a very noticeable difference in angle lol cause the fc angle sucks. But nothing was twitchy besides the fact of crappy angle of the fc. So drifts up past 50 mph were a little difficult but small corners are easy

 

When You Can, I Would Like To See Pictures Of Your Motor Mounts And Subframe. When My Next 13b Goes, I'm Putting In An SR. Additionally, Do All Your Stock Gauges Work Or Are You Running Aftermarket?...

 

ill post if up when i come back to the states. I knew i shoulda took pics when the motor was out lol and everything works except my oil pressure gauge and speedometer. But i have a aftermarket oil gauge anyways. And 240s use electric speed sensor for the speedometer and rx7 uses mechanical which is y it doesnt work

 

Also my advice for all of u that wanted a boosted piston motor in a rx7. Go with a jz engine. they make mount kits for it and u can pick up a 1jz for under 1500 with a auto trans or for around 2k for one with a 5sp trans. Alot less then a sr and alot less fabrication to worry about on mounting. Just my 2 cents though.. And did i mention the huge hp difference of a jz engine and they sound like god singing..

 

Awesome man keep the pix coming on the truck conversion....

 

I agree with JZ, or at least something besides SR. And I've been using the same SR since '08.

 

a heavy inline six engine is best left for a heavy useless cars. there is more to a choice than just power output.

also, amazing trade for the LSD. that cage was probably the worst excuse for a cage i have ever seen. as in, it would likely do nothing in an actual roll over

 

ya that cage was **** lol i cant belive Cusco even made that thing. But it came with the car when i bought it so its w.e. Its more of a cage for like a show car. And the guy i traded was building a show car so it was a win win.
