Hey David, looking really good man!
I've gotta ask though, did you use regular Bilstien FC3S rear shocks or are those short strokes? The FC rear shock is pretty long... maybe because the RX2 upper hat is so deep? Hmm... I'll have to post some pics about what I'm talking about. Good luck though and keep the updates coming. -Vince |

No adjustments necessary, but you do need longer springs. |
do you need to shorten that rearend to get it to fit? and if so, by how much?

Dang you've come a long way with that project! Looks like you got off cheap with some of the pricing on the brakes and suspsension! I'm still down to help you out on the weekends if you need it (that's if the crew chief is cool with that!)...anyway, I'm down right now thanks to FedEx "losing" some of my custom made parts. Oh well, I'm still waiting...just got the insurance check from them last week. Hopefully I'll be back running again soon so when you're finish we can cruize already!

Looking good Jesus,
Since you got rid of the leaf springs, how did you locate the rear end? 3 link, 4 link? Panhard bar? |
I thought RX2's were factory 4 link cars.
|
oh, no shit. I dont know. that would make it easy then.

Yeah, my turbo manifold cracked and I had my guys weld it back together...I figured since it was off I would get it jet coated. I sent it to the jet coat place via FedEx and they say it got "lost". They did a search and it never left the local wharehouse...I think someone saw a box that came from a popular tuning shop and was insured for $3k...so they figured they'd take it! |
WOW! VERY nice!
|
Damn Dave, thats looking good..
You still going to drop in that engine setup that I seen last time? If so... thats going to be one crazy fast car when its done. Also, does the shop you got the front brake kit have a website? If so could you provide a link? Thanks, hope to see ya soon. :) Going to take me for a spin right? :D |
Yep, same engine setup you saw is going in :D
Brakes came from www.theracingstore.com Tony no longer advertises these brakes, but if you ask him he will have them built for you. I'll make you a deal, you video tape, I drive. ;) Did you sell godzirra?

I too would like to know where you got the brake system, and if I could get a setup like that for my Rx7 (if its not the same considering I know nothing about Rx2's).
Also, that is one great example of an Rx2. I wish I lived close enough to see that thing in person once it was done. Amazing looking car. |
Hey jesus r u the new owner or is that you sitting in the car by the way that car looks f****ing sick man
|
^ Thats Dave sitting the car.
Thanks for the link Dave, I still have the car.. been driving it every weekend. :) |

Finally got this somnabitch to roll! :bigthumb:
There is still some fine tuning to do, but now I can move the car enough to get the old engine out and the new engine in. Wheels are Rota D2's 17 X 7.5 +20. Both front and back are going to need spacers to get them just right. I am currently running 15MM spacers in front, and will probably go up to 20MM. Rears have no spacers but my guess is I am going to need them to clear the hubcentric bore on the wheel. Anyways enjoy :) https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...d=227588&stc=1 https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...d=227589&stc=1 https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...d=227592&stc=1 |
