Thanks guys.

...Got the pulleys fitted by Troy at Rotormaster. Throttle is a lot more responsive now and idles somewhat different but even better.












Ok the day has finally come and the RX-7 is now complete. :mrgreen:

Things that i already have and will be changing are:

-the wheel nuts, to 5zigen Koma silver/chrome nuts (imo, right now it looks too blue around there, need something to match the dish)
-the number plate, re-made the plate with Rta so that the space in between D_CUPS (6 letters inc. space) is removed to suit U.S license plate frames which i'll put on soon (DCUPS 5 letters no space).

There will not be anymore updates to this thread, but i'll sure be chasing a magazine, for a feature of my RX-7, the above changes will be seen then.

I'd like to thank everyone for all your positive comments, feedback and any help you have provided me with my build .

 

beast....

 

wow

 

Congratulations! Your car is screaming to get on the cover of the best car magazines I can think of.

BTW, these cars are never done, so I hope to see more updates in the future...Keep it up!!

 

very nice build, how many cars have you built before ?

 

Hey there..

Ive only built 2. The FD is the 2nd, i'll be selling it soon and next project will be an R34 GT-R.

My 1st project was my MR2 GT-S JDM Hardtop.

 

Noooo you cant sell. its the best looking FD so far. why not upgrade it further?

 

Both cars are amazing. I am awestruck at how clean the front bumper looks on that car. I never really liked those bumpers, but I have to admit that it is one sexy beast. Congrats on completion and also congrats on the engagement. Hope the next build turns out as great as this one. If you plan on selling it, I am pretty sure this will be the car that will haunt your dreams and make you wish you hadn't.

I got first dibs when he puts it up for sale!!!

Certainly is an amazine car.. where did you order a majority of your parts?

 

this is exactly what i want my fd to look like except with a different diffuser..looks good!

 

so you even drive your car? i dont see a SPEC OF DIRT that thing is sooooooooo damn clean i l o v e it.

 

damn I love your car so much!!!

 

Man Im feening for an FD RX-7 like a crack head feens for crack!!!

 

the scary thing about finishing a project..

is that once it's done.. u suddenly feel idle and have no purpose..

that's what worries me about my cars..

u spend all ur time on "what it can be" and not "what it currently is"

and when it's finally done and there's suddenly no more milestones to reach

ur like uhhh now what?

and u never really even use the car after that..

time to sell it and then start allover...

the journey is more satisfying then the end result

 

Or you start using the car for performance events. That's when its gets fun and you forget about the "what it can be" and worry about what just broke and needs to be fixed/upgraded to get more performance/longevity.

 

I was once told "Even when you have arrived don't let yourself believe you have." Don't know if that makes any sense but I know what I want my car to be like, but even when I get there I don't think its ever going to stop.

 

You will regret your decision.

 

Couldnt get the rear housing on to clamp the v-band. Need to get it prof. fitted properly so I dont damage the fins.
Ceramic coated in Black to withstand temps so high.

 

ooooooooooooo....... so nice

 

Sweet!

 

i think this is one of the most bad *** cars on the forum...

but...

Fail at what? Belt or clamp?

nevermind. from the monior i was on last night it looked like the clamp wasnt connected to anything.

continue...

 

Ok, still not fitted lol, xmas, new years, my kids school holidays, workshop holidays = delays. My bad for not leaving the car over at the workshop during the autosalon weekend.

Here is some better pics:

Have now put together the rear exhaust housing and vband it together (was a bitch without damaging the fins.)
