Hi folks, just a quick post to show you all my 94 RX7 twin turbo i'm in the process of 'modding'. Basically I bought the car standard about six months ago, despite having 50K on the clock and despite being a Rotary it still managed to cane through 14,000 miles of hard daily use before I decided to dash it up with aftermarket bits
Anyways! Having been badgered by Mr Lex to stop fannying about and start drifting it I decided to bite the bullet and get my over to a DWYB day, albeit doing a few bits in the process.
First up were a set of decent wheels, gives me the standard 16s to practice on anyways. Rota Grids in 18x9.5 +30 front, 18x10in +15 on the rear. Ordered 'em in silver just because they wouldn't be staying that colour too long:
Next up were a set of coilovers. Wasn't fussed about being brand new, just wanted 'em stiff and adjustable so picked up a set of Cusco height/dampening coilies for cheapy cheap:
Being too poor for decent tyres and figuring i'd only dash 'em anyways, bought some part worn 225/40/18s for the rear and 225/35/18s for the front, stretched just about enough!
Seeing as RX7s seem to look sweet without a spoiler, the standard fugly unit was ditched in favour of feck all:
Then the wheels were painted, 'Takata Green' well, as close as I could find which I think turned out to be a Hyundai colour haha.
All what was left was to bolt it all back together, wind down the coilovers, rivnut the Atomic Rex side skirts and an RE-style diffusor i'd picked up to see how it looks:
And that's basically where i'm at now. Hoping to get along to either the 29th or 13th May DWYB providing the car's not blown up, and give it yet more death
And riding with my companion... :wack:
