My Rx-7 FD Type RB

[Aidan Hogan]

Some pull from these engines 1 of the lads in work has an rx8 that he bought brand new in '04 and he's supercharged it and all and never needed a rebuild , sweeeeet power !!
Lovely car ya have there

Thanks for the comments, ya I can't wait to get new wheels on it now. I'll have to sort the clutch first though. I'm looking at the bones of €500 to have a basic enough exedy clutch delivered.
@Aidan, holy fook I'd say it sounds mental, a super charger and a rotary engine .
I'm going to have to look into getting more powers out of it over the summer because it's starting to feel slow now that I'm used to it. Still quicker than the starlet I'm driving now though

Bit of an update.
Finally got the clutch in:


Got myself a snap off boss kit :

Then I got the front bumper off and removed the number plate bracket and fogs and it'll be going for a respray soon along with the headlight covers, the orange reflectors will be going too:




Also got the wheels off for a good cleaning which they really needed and I have a CF front splitter on the way too.

Picked myself up a good alarm with remote start ect.

Almost forgot, I got myself this too

Get yourself a 99spec front bumper and rear lights fella, would suit her down to the ground...

Forgot to mention, I did the 99 spec rear light conversion as well. It came out fairly well I think. I almost bought a feed type 2 front bumper a few weeks back but decided not to in the end. I'm not sure if I want the 99 spec bumper now.

Next plan is to find C.F Feed side skirts, de-spoiler it, drop it another bit and I really need wheels. I'm thinking Work Rezax 18x11j rears or something along those lines.

Instead of Rezax, what about these with the right offset :

Love 7's.... Never should have sold mine...

The Rx-7 is probably the most beautiful car to ever come out of japan.
It has a body shape that lends itself to so many different styles ,that it is also one of the most versatile cars when choosing a base car to shake a modifying stick at .
The Speedhunters 7/7 meet they had in japan was absolutely amazing to read about

Brendan, what are the wheels on the 2nd rx7? They look absolutely mint.
I'm going for a low and wide look so something nice and dishy would be great:P
Didn't realise yours was after selling, did it stay in the country?

Ya Ed they're a great looking car and can be made even nicer with some monies put into them. You really have to get the wheels right though. I'll have to have a look at that speedhunters meet.
