View Full Version : The long awaited RX-7 old skooool FC
WHERE DO I START!!!
had a deposit on the 3-4 weeks ago and kept it on the hush hush, and yesterday was the day for collection, absalute pain in the arse i had to travell to Kent on the sout east of England!! after being awake 25 and half hours and driving 690 mile, loosing all lights on the jeep, getting a 100 pound fine for parking in a coach bay while getting burger king,(fucked that in the bin) the ferry home wit a million proper travellers i got this bad boy home!!:D
im well happy wit it, it has a few bits of surface rust and a hole in the driver floor, nothing that cant be sorted! but it really needs alot of DE-GAYING, I HAVE LOADSA PLANS!!!!
the spec as is:
3/4 cage, quite odd but cool at the same time
two cobra buckets
luke harnesses
standard NA 13b, fully re-built 30,000 miles ago 140bhp!
fully adj shocks
lowering springs
kazz 1.5 way diff
few other silly bits i think!!
so i have LOADSA plans for this, i dunno wether to go full out track car or road car or both!!! im kinda being pushed towards full on track but only time will tell!!
anyway the pics!!

Nah i know what he means.. ill shoe ya now bare with me...
No. Un-bolt the wong along the top and down the door-shut, then cut yourself a few spacers to bring it out 20mm or so and bolt those into the original bolt holes, and use some new bolts to hold the wing to the bracket... Job done, and no £200 wings needed :D

baaahahahahhahahhahaha, im only messing man you no i love your car!!!
anyway we progresed in this a good bit today in prep for tomo!! think both jay and i were amazingly surprised at how the spacers in the steering rack trick actually works, the FC,s are know for the unbelivably shit lock, so from recearching other FC builds we went for two 3 mm spacers on each side!! ran into a bit of difficulty on the passenger side and could only get one it but sure it will be grand!!!!! anyway have a look at the difference it made!!!! IM WELL HAPPY!!
LOVELY STANDARD LOCK!!!
