Hey fellas:Typing ..
Here\'s pics of my ride i took today
12/11/2006.
Id like to thank all the boys from the FD thread at Ausrotary and the FD Guru\'s, BLACK TALON, DAIONI, IBLI7Z, KOTTER31, CRAYSUS, JIM6, RICE RACING, FD MAN, ADJUST, PLYRUF and N1RAY for all the help with parts, knowledge and support with the build so far. Its only 40% done, a long way to go to finish.
Its a J-style race inspired build. The 2000 model Series 8 was originally imported from //www.japandirect.com.au .

....Still managed to run 218.7
Rear Wheel Kilowatts @ C&V\'s dyno dynamics (around 270-280KW\'s at the Engine), with just a nicely tuned Apexi PFC and HKS EVC 5 with high/low adjustable boost 14psi. It sits on 10psi most of the time.

[size=18]THE INTERIOR[/size] - sorry, its abit blurry; My Nardi Deep Corn s/wheel, HKB Boss kit w/Airbag relay eliminator, CF Mazdaspeed g/knob, Addzest Double DIN, PFC, EVC and HKS turbo timer. Soon will be filled with a pair of Red Bride Brix\'s and CF Scuff plates (if I can find the right price for them)

[size=18]THE EXTERIOR[/size]- So lucky the car was imported with the MAZDASPEED edition GT-Concept exterior wear, minus the GT-C Front lenses which they cracked when the car was on the boat and the so, so looking rear pods. I\'ll be filling up the rear soon with a Diffuser.NOTE: The rear wiper and nozzle were never part of the car when it came from Japan :shock:

i had the HKS hard pipes on my car when i bought it, and mine were red. i have also seen other rex\'s with hks and i tik they are all red. i therefore assume they come with red hoses.
very nice car, cheers for all the pics. have you any plans for the future for it?
that wings horrible.. i`ll take it off you free of charge :D car looks sweet bud.. congrats.
Theres an RX7 magazine !!!! Hurrah...may inspire me to learn how to speak and read Japanese !!!
Lovely car by the way, although you should be ashamed with that Enginebay !!! Get some mods in there mate !!!!!!!!
One of the nicest black RX7s I have seen...will look great with the diffuser !!!
Nice car...
But your Garage and drive space is great...

Quote from: D CUPSthank you all!

Haha, thanks Shaf, at least you still have your MR2....wish I couldve kept mine.
actually i sold my black widebody one last year..... but have subsequently replaced it with a supra aerotop, mitisi gto, mr2 turbo, TRD non-turbo as well as the rx :D
