WA NWHero!

Hello all.my name is ANT!
No,I am no relation to the Guitarist from AC/DC. His name is Flea!.haha.
Anyways,I'm from the great Pacific Northwest, my first rx7 was an 81 gsl I got for the price of fixing it (rebuilding the carb and a new clutch) and was simply blown away with the performance of this 20 year old car vs my 95 honda civic with full coilovers/bushings/etc. it was stolen from me when i went away to california for a week, and it made me sad.

a few years later I was in a position of buying a new vehicle for track use, and the only thing it needed to be was RWD. immediately I thought of the rx7, and decided to get and FC. i found my 89 GXL from an old lady who was selling her incarcerated grandsons car. $2500, 102k miles, BONE STOCK with factory rebuild engine with papers to prove it just 20k miles ago. i've had this car for 4 years now, and it has come a long way!

Engine:
300whp/wtq S14 SR20DET
Silkroad Turbo Manifold
Silkroad Turbo Elbow
Tomei 740cc Injectors
S15 T28 Turbo
Koyo Radiator
FMIC
3" downpipe/straight pipe

Suspension:
BC Racing BR-Type Coilovers
DTSS Eliminator Bushings
Super*Now Tie Rods
Custom Steering Knuckles
Mazdatrix Tie Rod ends
T2 Drivetrain
Custom Rear Differential Brace
Welded LSD
17x9.5 +15 MB Battles
235/40-17 Falken RT615K

Inside:
Custom FD Legal Roll Cage (6 point, double door bars)
Sparco Corsa Seat
Sparco Harness
Nardi 350mm Suede Steering Wheel
UP Garage 160mm Blue-Purple Transition Bubble Shift ****

the majority of this car was built with my own two hands in my own backyard, literally since I don't have a garage lol

i've been a lurker for a long time but I finally made an account so I can actually communicate with others!

Nice rx7 and props for building your cage to a spec instead of just welding up some bars!
