Arrow new rx7club member sayin hi!!

eh up lads and ladies, owned a rex for couple years now and always used your site for problems i have come across and i am amazed at how helpfull you all are, well i have now finally come to my senses and thought i may aswell become a non guest! haha

anways am from uk and have been spending the past few years tweaking my rx7 to the state its in now, i have done the obligatory single turbo conversion using a hks t51r and all the supportin mods to suit, i am however running a non rebuilt engine at the min but i am now in the process of saving to get it rebuild and decent porting to get the full potential out of the t51r


anyways less yapping and heres some pics

this is when i first bought it


sorted the interior out first coz all the panels were sprayed red and looked horrid!! i have since done some bits and bobs inc fitting cusco roll cage powder coated in white, apexi controller mounted on the dash and some splashes of carbon fibre (will post pics up soon)


then came the single turbo conversion


i then went for a change of colour into lamborghini balloon white, scoot carbon bonnet, c-west skirts andfront bumper and rear diffuser for looks


recently fitted some d2 racing 8 pot front brakes


me mate has took some good shots for me too on his new camera













i have missed alot of pictures of the different stages it has been through but i have 1000's of pics so would prob crash the server

let me know what you guys think,

cheers lee

I can't believe you've held out on us for so long... that is an awesome car. And I personally love your color choice. Very tasteful exterior as well. I love it. What are the numbers you put down on the dyno?

Great looking car. Love the color, I have a chaste white 94 was thinking about going with a color similar to that. But I had it repainted about three years ago and I have only put 1500 miles on it since. Cant get myself to paint it again.
