ACV (air control valve.) and I have several of those... and some other misc FC plates.. like EGR, etc.

 

well you could do a 235/40 in the front.. infact after some thought that may be your best... bet..


do you have coil-overs???


you'll have to roll your fenders.. throw about 3 deg of camber at it..

for the rear... 255's are a big tire.. esp for street duty.. and can be kinda rough with an LSD diff... kinda silly that 10mm section width can make such a difference.. I wouldn't go wider than a 245 unless you were doing some heavy autoX type stuff... in which case you should go to 275's.


besides... a semi-stretched 245 tire on a 9" wheel looks sexy !!!


i can go further aboot it if you like... but for now... let find out if you have coil-overs... and uh.. do you have rear steer eliminator bushings???

 

does anyone skate thats on here? i ahve a pair of tensor trucks slighty used that i would like to sell, comes all together and with wheels and bearings

 

anyone interested in going in a group buy on some diamond wheels in a few months let me know. you get a better rate if you buy more than ten rims i do believe.

 

hmm i do need an extra set or rims, let me know when you wanna do that i might not be ready till like mid april

 

No coilovers, I have tokico blues with lowering springs. I would really not like to roll the fenders, so maybe a 225 and 245? No, rear steer eliminator bushings, either. Also, if I can fit 255's without rolling I'd like to. As I hope to have over 400 rwhp and close to 400 rwtq when my car is finally moving under it's own power.

 

azar, dont take this the wrong way..

but this is PRECISELY why i steer clear of the RX-7 board...

im here far less than I used to be...


so here is me being really nice here...

you think tokico blues are going to hold 400ft/lbs of torque???

and you think 400 hp is going to be manageable with out rear steer elim bushings????

when it comes to building cars... ALWAYS SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!!!!

and I don't think your +35 offset wheels are going to fit... you'd need to grind the lower spring perch for 225 to fit... on a 38 offset.. let alone 235 on your 35 offset wheels..



either way.. you really should roll your fenders...

 

Never really thought about the mass amounts of torque and stuff.....I'll have to check around with TC and see what everyone else is running as far as suspension.

The bushings may have been put on by the previous owner, as this car used to be a HKS 60-1 13-b. I'll have to check for those.

And the wheels I asked on TC a while back and a lot of the guys said that it would *probably* fit. ( http://www.torquecentral.com/showthr...t=40497&page=1 )

But yes, maybe I should roll my fenders. But the 10AE is in such good condition....*sigh* decisions, decisions. Thanks for the input Chuck.

 

dude,

you've like bastardized the car with a v8...

nothing wrong with it... 'cept for the fact that.. no matter how good of condition it is in.. it'll never win concours or anything, being non-original...

build what you want...

i wonder whatever happened to the rays that were on it..

 

if you are talking about woody's old car chuck those werent rays

 

yeah, woody's old car...

it has TE-37's

because at one time... we both did..

I have the 16x8's on mine.///

he had a staggered set of 17" TE-37's

axe him..

that car was teh hotness..

 

^^^ er uh... it HAD!!!!

 

they were nock offs dude calld something like "type r"s

 

Good point, I must look into the fender rolling.


I think they were sold before the guy I bought it from had it. But yeah, they were uber hot.

Now I just have the 10AE rims on it, and they are in **** condition.

 

i have some enkies for sale look decent. check out a pic of them here. on the black fc.

I'll have a pair of FD rims with 225/35R16 GForce Sports 70% rear 90% front wear for sale soon. My SSR GT2's came in today just waiting on pricing from Chuck for my badass new wheels.

 

Here's one for ya

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=623500

 

Dude! SSR's are so ****** money!

Derek,

What are the specs on the Enkies?

 

i dont know the exact offsets or anything. but they are 17's and i believe 7.5 wide. with brand new summer tires. not hankooks tho so i cant remember what they are lol. but literally are brand new. were on there when i got them.

 

Eh, need something a little wider. Good luck with selling them, though.

 

Guys
I need a couple of studsfor my turbo. There are three that hold the downpipe to the s5 turbo . One of mine stripped trying to bolt on downpipe with a warped flange. Looking for ones with a clean un marred threads please. Anybody with a old S4 or S5 turbo laying around? Please help me out.
Pm me or email me at dasupacat@hotmail.com

David

 

david... I have plenty of old blown up OE turbos...

but I;ve learned my lesson everytime I ran into this issue... I replaced the studs with new.


PB blaster... then removed the old with a stud remover/installer socket.

 

Chuck

Where can I get these studs? What size are they? I can't get the dp off because the nut is stripped too. It's the top one furthest away from the engine. I'd like to get it off without taking the turbo off... i dunno what to do. It's too damn cold out. LOL The exhaust leak is driving me nuts. I 'm gonna try and tackle this when it gets warmer.
On another note. What you recommend for a good quality bov. I believe the one on the car is a "imitation" HKS ssqv. It doesn't want to close all the way went I return to idle. Dunno if it's the bov or maybe I need a better vac source. Thought about replacing it with a real one or maybe a diff. one.

David

 

any decent hardware store should stock those studs..

um.. I used either a greddy or Blitz bov... back in the day...


what downpipe are you using???
