Maybe it's just the ride height...but that is one of the ugliest stances I've seen on an FD...are you using spacers with those wheels or is it just the offset?!?! Are those the wheels you will be running.

I'm not hating, but it looks really strange

Why is it up for sale already?

He has Petitt flares bonded onto the rear quarterpanels with either 315's or 335's.
I also think it looks funny as it sits in the pic but the stance will dramatically improve when it is lowered. I've seen several of them in person and they look mean.

the factory lug pattern on a vette is 5x4.75 inches... factory bolt pattern on a FD rx7 is 5x114 which is 4.48 inches.... did you just machine the wheels?

Agreed! And a **** load more power with no reliability problems. It will add 100lbs to the front, but you can balance it out with another 100lbs. in the rear. Even with the extra 200lbs., it will handle well and be a monster! Good luck.

thanks guys,.....but i do have to tell you that ur wrong about the weight thing. after removing all the odds and ends that you dont need and building the new subframe out of cromaly?? sp?? you dont gain a lb! my car is the same wieght if not lighter than when the 13b was in it. but i did sac. the ac, front bumber braces....etc.

now everything is going up for sale..... long story, and im not going to get into it. im doing another project and the 2jz swap is geting put on hold or being sold. i will part it out or sell it all as one. i have EVERYTHING to finish a 2jz swap and make 1000WHP!!!!
i will post picks and post prices. only thing is prices will be SET and i will not go lower than what i have posted! im in no hurry to sell so i wont take lowball offers.
