Hey guys my name is Keith and I picked up a 1993 Red R1 back in July. I am in the process of finishing the body work and color changing it to Carbon Grey Metallic. It will be another month or two before the car is done but I cant wait to drive it. I'm tired of pushing it around the shop!

 

Welcome, Keith!

Be sure to post some pics as the project progresses. Sounds nice.

Kent

 

Will do Kent. I bought the car with no motor and since I am a die hard 4g63 guy I swapped in a 4g63 and kept the RX7 trans and the rest of the RX7 driveline. I will post pictures when its finished.

 

4G63 in an FD that would be awesome cant wait to see some pics.

 

What part of NJ are you from?

 

Welcome to the most reading you will ever do!

 

I'm from Hillsborough. Here are some pics of the progress so far:

Primered and ready for paint:

 

Damn don't think I've seen that engine swap done before! What tranny are you using?

 

I'm using the Rx7 Transmission and a custom adapter plate.

 

Oh ok. It's a dsm motor right? Or is it a japan import from an evo or vr4?

 

Are you going to keep it red?

And hows the interior?

 

Nice

 

this is gonna be another sick rx !

 

Its a 6 bolt bolt DSM motor. Color is getting changed to Carbon Grey Metallic. Interior is missing some stuff but I am slowly finding what I need.

 

not the first 4g63 ive seen in an FD. looking great so far. personally, i think the 13b and 20b are better choices, but that's me. again, props for what you're doing

 

Yeah, I am definitely not the first to do it. I think the 4g63 will be pretty fun in this car. I will easily make 550-600whp on straight pump gas and will be using an AEM v2 box for the ECU which can do boost by gear and traction control. That should make it a bit easier to put that HP to good use. I rolled the front and rear fenders and would like to run a 295/35/18 in the rear. Just need to find a nice set of rims with the correct offset. I don't really plan on drag racing the car. I just want a fun street car/highway monster.

 

welcome, nice car.

 

Nice car bro

 

DAMN! your doing a good job it seems. GL!

 

So far so good
