Hello fellow rx7 members

I just picked up my 1987 sapphire blue fc yesterday from a friend. I sold my Miata about a month ago because I wanted something bigger and I've always wanted an fc to begin with. The fc is for the most part stock. The motor is rebuilt and has less than 1k on it. It has a stage four fidanza clutch with a lightweight flywheel. Previous owner was getting ready for boost so he started with that. It has lsd. The rims are some old school weds sports fins. Needs some interior work, new shifter bushings, there's a knocking sound in the rear ( previous owner said some of the hangers from the exhaust aren't on that's why there's that sound). Not too sure about what plans I have for it yet but Forsure coils. Was thinking about Godspeed, does anyone have them and would you recommend for a daily driver? I'm looking foward to meeting some of the local socal members and ill make sure to enter my car in next years SevenStock.

I've been thinking about GodSpeed Coilovers, but they're so pricey.

That knocking can possibly be a bad diff mount...Good step up from the girly miata Tho!!!

i thought the same also but when we lifted the car i looked at the tranny mounts and they were still in good condition but the exhaust does move alot and all the hangers are there

We will see today after we finish fixing it if it is still knocking. Like frank said the mounts still look good but we will find out for sure today..

what about ground control + koni yellows? i had that setup in my fc before and loved it - i track my car every other month or so back then...

fc3sMikey

I was thinking about that but once I added up the cost of both it would almost be what the Godspeed coils are worth. Right now they are worth 550 picked up in el monte. Ground controls are around 350 and the shocks like 300. So might as well go for the coils.

Diff mount is located on the rear end,if its bad,that will cause knocking when the car is driving.

Yea I got under the car and pushed up the diff with my hands and saw that the front diff mount was broken. I found a competition differential mount from racing beat for $93 opposed to mazdatrixs which was $175.
