Hi guys, not quite an rx-7 but still......?

Hi guys,

Car:
1977 Mazda 323 Bugeye
Full panel paint
Adjustable front suspension
s1 rx-7 brakes/calipers
rear disc conversion with B series LSD
Dunlop SP sport maxx tires
Lenso RS-5 Rims

Engine:
13b full Bridge port
Big injectors
S4 single turbo
38mm external gate
Microtech LT-10s controller
Holley blue + 500 HP pumps
40 Litre drop tank
Surge tank setup
Gilmer drive and pulleys
200 KW @ rear wheels

So not quite an RX-7 but with the heart of one and a crap load of other rx-7 stuff on her.

Car goes really well and I am the third owner catching the tail end of a project build. Mainly going around and fixing things up that were done not so nice or not at all.

Currently I am installing a new much bigger turbo and wastegate combo for which I have posted a thread about if I have got the right one for my setup so feel free to have a look and offer your opinion.

Thanks :-)

Very clean looking. I bet that's a hoot to cruise around in.

add a hood...

Then go race some mustangs for pinks!

​​​​​​​Nice setup. Take care of her, but don't forget to push her around a bit, too!

is your adjustable front suspension the GC kit? The only reason im asking is I noticed you said S1 rx7 brakes. by S1 do you mean fb or sa brakes? if you mean SA brakes, just a word to the wise,,, there's a reason they changed them for '81. the SA brakes are dangerous and if you have 81-85 front suspension/brakes I highly suggest you swap your adjustable suspension over to the newer strut/spindle assembly.
Anywho that's my 2 cents on SA front brakes. Welcome to the forum!

This man deserves a award. This is beyond clean and appealing.
