Electric, heated leather Recaros
Blitz blow-off valve
Knightsports FCD
SS Autochrome exhaust (four-inch from the turbo back, silencerless into three-inch single exit)
Racing Beat 6 puck sprung friction plate,
Chipped Panspeed ECU so it\'s not running lean and there\'s no danger of detonation.

K&N panel filter

Quotemy 1990 rx7 infini turbo 2

Sorry mate, but she isn\'t an Infini. The Infini series is ultra rare, only available to the Jap market. There is only one Infini in the Uk at the moment, and I am extremely lucky to own it!!

Post by: 88GT-R on April 25, 2007, 07:04:45 PM
I don\'t have my car at hand, but starts FC3S xxxxxx typical of a jap import, but has physical differences.
Just a couple -

Knee pads on door and centre consal
Passanger footrest
Momo steering wheel
No Radio or speakers
Winged adjustable Alcantar(sp) bucket seats
Red Strut brace
BBS multi spoke 16\'\' wheels
Bronze tinted windows
Only available in Black and a very dark metallic green

Couple of things you can\'t see -

4.3:1 final drive
Torson LSD
0.72 5th gear
Revised ECU and exhaust system(215ps)
Revised suspension geometery.

Regards,
John

If you do a search in this section for Turbo II then you will find plenty of information on your new Rx7. Starting from when I resurrected it from the dead right upto the point where I sold it. (And also the period when I very nearly bought back)  If I can give you any other info as to the cars history then please just shout.

Hmmm the Purple could be ok - but they are so rare in Graphite - why not just do a respray in the origional colour?
Title: hi all my 90 fc3s turbo 2
Post by: RX7-D on April 27, 2007, 06:00:22 PM

Post by: Brett on April 27, 2007, 06:07:07 PM
Trust me, when its in your rear mirror, the car looks like a monster when its in graphite :yes  Cars used to leap out of the way - and thats when I was running it in and only trundling around at 2500rpm....

 (I think the JDM name for the colour is Thunder Grey Metallic)
