new member from orlando florida

whats up guys, my name is Judd. I've got a 93 FD rx7 I've been working on for awhile now.I have the feeling I will be posting often on here!

my car is currently getting repainted and will be put back together in the next few weeks.

figured i would shed some light on whats done to it

13b built by kilo racing in st.cloud florida, very similar set up to MR.45's. justin is one of my very close friends and ive known him for a very long time and hes a great guy and his fd is a work of art. im sure many of you on here know who he is.

Garrett GT4202R polished

HKS FMIC

stock auto rear-end with 5spd trans swap

tial 50mm waste gate

hks ssqv bov

full fuel system

car is still being built so im still putting together more pieces.

99 spec front bumper

99 spec tail lights

ID luxury 19" rims

once its all back together ill have an E85 tune and a pump gas tune done by kilo himself.

looking to make a max rwhp of around 700-750ish when finished.

any questions just ask me

It works far better than pump gas any day, he gets better gas mileage and makes more power and can run more boost because of the higher octane. E85 is said to be rated between 102-106 octane and as a bonus the smell of it burning smells amazing and makes for some nice flames!

I never knew E85 had a higher octane rating. Interesting!

Before I blew the apex seals when the motor was stock several years ago I used to daily drive the car with the 42r on 12lbs and it drove fine, I even used to deliver pizzas in it when I worked for American pie when they were in business lol

My buddy got over 400 miles in 1 tank in his FD on e85 driving to Miami from orlando and back.

Only other thing I could compare to is my friend averages about 360 miles to a tank in his DD when using 87 and gets a Lil over 400 when he uses 93.
