Hey guys. We here at JIC-USA love the RX-7's and RX-8's and we want to know what else you guys would like for us to make for this community! Remember, we specialize in exhaust systems, suspension components, and mainly coilovers. I'm asking input from the hardcore racers!

Are there other things that you guys may want? Parts that you need developed? We are willing to develop more things! Let us know. Thanks.

 

do more parts for the 1979-1991 RX-7, don't just focus on the FD3S.

 

perhaps a full Titainium 4inch exhaust (mid pipe and cat back)....

do you guys offer just coil springs..if not perhaps those

 

If you want to be successful you need to manufacture quality exhausts like Racing Beat does, but find some way to undercut them on the price. Their stuff is pretty expensive, but they make the best stuff around. I'd like to see some more affordable exhausts that are capable of standing up to the intense heat of the rotary engine.

I'd also like to see anything at all that you would make for the 1st gen rx-7s (79-85).

 

I think a dual tip Spartan for the FD would sell here. Several people saw the pic from here...

and wanted one before they realized the picture was wrong and the Spartan was only available with a single tip for the FD...

The Racing Beat dual tip is very popular here in the states because of it's nice stock look and quietness. A stainless dual tip could compete with them and a Ti dual tip would provide a performance upgrade. The way the JIC canister attaches it seems it would be easy to do too. There are several large canister, high quality, fairly loud, and reasonably priced Ti exhausts on the market for the FD in the states. A quiet dual tip Ti would be different and not compete so much with them. I made the suggestion when I had a question at info@jic-magic.com and received a fast response from a Ben who was very helpful but told me "Japan said that they don't make them in dual tip." Maybe you could ask in the 3rd Generation Specific forum who would be interested in a dual tip exhaust. Maybe you could also set up a group buy through Jason (http://www.rx7store.net/) who runs this forum and sells JIC products already to be ensured of enough orders to start producing this product provided their was enough interest of course.

 

do you still make the spec 90 series for the FD3S?

i would like to see a 90mm series catback and also a 90mm series midpipe with a muffler installed on the midpipe as an option for noise control.

80mm catbacks are the norm here and i always see bigger piping available in japan with 90mm midpipes with mufflers on them.

 

Bolt-in roll cages?
Tube suspension arms?
Drift steering parts?
Pillowball rears for FC3S?
Strut bars?
"Hatchback cross" bars?

I would like to have a owners manual for your FD fla2 struts. I bought a 93 fd with these already installed but i didn’t get the owners manual with it. So i don’t know which adjustment is for compression and which is for rebound.

PS it would be nice if you guys had them for D/L off your site.

 

We do have a good amount of parts for the FC but unfortunantly, the Gen 1 RX-7 isn't as popular as the other gens. We are a business and a company. If we did make parts for those RX-7's, the price would be higher because of less demand for it.

 

Thank you. I have sent this post to Ben (sales manager) and we will see what happens. Thanks.

 

We currently make front and rear strut tower bars for the FC. If you have any further questions please PM me or email me at yukio@jic-magic.com Thanks!

 

You can email info@jic-magic.com and let him know the situation that you have and they can send you a PDF format of instructions.

 

There's no market for a shitty 15-20 year old rusted *** FB you fool. The JIC parts are worth more than the car.

 

For the FC:
Lower control arms with needle bearings encased in aluminum, replacing stock rubber bushings. Rear control arm camber adjuster, Urethane engine mounts, adjustable toe link kit, adjustable sway bar links with jamb nuts and polyurethane bushings.
Trick pieces and I personally wouldn't recommend any of the above for street driving. There are other vendors that offer the above but what's one more. Come in at cut throat prices I would consider JIC-MAGIC.

Just cheaper prices really. Half the crap people mentioned no one would buy.

In the exhaust department You guys could have "pure sports" or a budget racer line using BuddyClub style Piping instead of expensive Titanium. Ultra thin stainless with sliding spring ends. This design is great from Buddyclub but they don't seem to be making much of an impact here in the states. You could continue to use the titanium canisters to keep the race appeal guys happy as well. Carry replacement piping sections for the slamed cars that constantly rub holes thru them

Oh and make some largus sized sway bars. Its super hard to get them here and they cost a grip. Besides that i can't really think of anything else thats realistic on your part. You guys have a pretty good lineup as it is. Just remember the FD community isn't what it once was and with the car getting older the people owning them are gettin cheaper. Just a heads up. Hope to see some new stuff soon!

 

how about some budget coilovers for under 1100

 

You are obviously an idiot

 

I'm wondering what it would cost to have my JIC coilovers rebuilt? and where would i send them to?

 

Rear inner wheelwells! These rust out all the time and NOBODY makes any replacement metal. Many perfectly good 1st-gens get scrapped because of this.

Make more 1st-gen parts, nobody cares about those lame FCs and FDs. Nobody that matters, anyway.

 

I agree with Matt Hey! As long as the tips arnt like the Apexi N1 dual, it'd be badass. Personally, i'd like to see dual tips just a tad bit larger than the stock exhaust dual tips!!

Free ****.

 

Some of you guys need to quit hatin' on all the old school guys!!! You're precious FD's would be here if it weren't for the 1st & 2nd gen's. One of the most irritating aspects of the import car community is that everybody is hatin' on everybody else. My best friend drives a turbo Supra and all my rx-7 friends are always hatin' on him. Can't we all just get along?

 

awwwww..did I hurt your feelings? cuz you know it's true.

 

As someone stated before, a nice and quiet titanium dual tip exhaust for FD.

 

The ball joints on the FD front upper and lower suspension arms are not replacable. You have to buy new arms if they wear out. There are no alternatives that are readily available in the US, so you must buy the OEM Mazda arms. I just replaced my front uppers for $510. Lowers cost even more. A set of tubular arms with replaceable ball joints and long-lasting bushings at the body side would be great. Rubber bushings would be my preference, but urethane might have additional marketability as no one makes urethane bushings for the FD. Delrin/nylon or rod ends wear too fast for a street car, IMO, so I would be put off if the arms were only available with these types of bushings.

Coil-overs with less-stiff springs would be nice, too. I haven't looked at the JIC rates specifically, but most coil-overs come with springs that are WAY too stiff for my tastes. The car is a lot easier to drive (= enjoyable) and more comfortable (for all those street miles between lapping days) with relatively soft springs. I'm not suggesting super-soft springs, but 450-550 lbs/in front and 350-450 lbs/in rear is plenty stiff.
