I agree !! The Reds are running, and the beachhouse on Tiki Island is ready. This is 1 of five we caught 12 miles off along with some Kings ,Spanish Mac, and 3 NICE LING!!! 3 months ago. Burnout it is, came with the car. Thinking MS GT kit or a sweet Panspeed . BUT money is not flying in as fast, so some control is in order.At least thats what the wife tells me.. Still sounds stupid even when I say it!!But I dont have a 20B so I think Im using control for now....

Haven't updated in a while

Added the greddy strut bar and polished y pipe. Found some damaged hoses which might have been why I was having boost issues.

All emissions stuff gone. Now I just got to get her running again. lol

Just look for the shiny stuff if you can't tell.

For all you guys who liked the stock look....sorry..its gone again :P Which body kit to go with

Got the HKS downpipe in. Apparently..got some flames coming out. Need a tune now.

After a freaking year of wondering why my brake fluid was leaking (changed master cylinder, stainless steel lines, etc) I gave up and took it to mazda to find the damn leak. So i wait there for lil over 2 hours.

Guy comes up to me, is that a supra???

Yup! (i said)

then dealership guy whispers to him.. "thats an rx7 dude...)

Anyways, the service tech comes out, says abs is leaking. And with a straight face, he says "it'll be 3k to get it fixed and we don't even know when we can get the part"

I lol'd. Took it home and installed the abs delete I had happen to have laying around with willwood brake proportion. And...after a year...

NO LEAK... I think anyways. We'll see after a couple more weeks


I hate fiberglass.
Filled in the rear marker turn lights and also made a backing for the license plate that was cut out. Letting it dry now..

Did i mention I hate fiberglass?

I'll get pics up tomorrow.

Bought the 3m 8115 panel bonding stuff...for 50...and then they want me to buy a gun for 300 to squeeze it out... Guess i'll figure some way to get the stuff out

how much did the dealer charge you for the diagnosis? i am going to do the same thing for the vibrating in car. lets hope the leaking stopped and your brakes work. who needs ABS anyways... ABS is for pussies. a pure sports car doesnt need any of that ****.

cheers,
Hoang

As much as I dislike any body kit on an FD; I have to admit, this is one of my favorites. Good choice.
