Rather than just copy paste from my main build thread, can I ask you to check the link out if you wish to follow the build. Driftworks allows more images and it breaks up nicely...
Its a UK Rx7 FC Turbo2..

looks the nuts,hopefully getting my egi rebuilt at rx motors at the end of the year.How do the driftworks coilovers say compare to teins? Ive heard good things regarding the driftworks setup.
Nice project. Love the FC when it\'s done well :Thumbsup!
I want the wheels off that blue FD. Whos is it?
nice build thread, paint it Kawasaki green!!!!!!!!
^^ What they said ^^
Some excellent photos of the work in progress and how the aftermarket suspension components and steering goes together.
BTW - I think Tim needs an extractor fan lol :Laugh

Thats Phil\'s from RX Motors. Theres some action shots of it from when I took him to Pod.. he wasw learning pretty fast. :) Doubt you\'ll get his wheels though.. they have an odd history (and glow in the dark!!!)
Cant say enough about the HSD\'d they\'re spot on. did me well at pod and anyone whos been there can say that upper car park is NOT smooth.
Oh and yea its going a really bright green. nearly kawasaki but not.. Kawa green needed special water which was uuuber expensive, and Like i said im totally skint now. :( We will release all 5 Team Green Cars at once I believe).
Any idea how much work it was to remove the speaker housings from the rear turrets?
Looks the nuts! :D
Awesome thread man! How the hell did you get your Sparco seat to fit? I\'m in the process of fitting one in my FC but it seems It\'s going to sit too high! :(
Must be amazing having access to all that garage equipment!
thats an epic write up :D
@brett.. wasnt too bad.. used a fancy spot weld removal drill thingy mainly and a bit of a love tap with a chisel. hardly any marks at all then cpould be sanded nicely, course I had the cage mounts over it so didnt mind.
@retro.. Yeah my seat is a little high but its survivable and I will easily get used to it.. i can still have a helmet on and not have limited movement or awkwardness. so Im happy.
I\'ll probably be at a MRC meet when theres one near surrey london or reading or you can check it out at BDC. if u like.
The brooklamds meet is in a few weeks - well worth going too :)
Cheers dude, It will be my mission tonight to get them to fit! They are Sparco Junior as well so I thought they would have been smaller and just slipped in!

:P

Awesome project. Im surprised at how much has been done, and in such little time.
Also well done for putting up the lock mods, im sure i\'ll be looking over them in more detail in the not to distant future :D
Also now that you have a body kit......are you wanting to sell/get rid of the standard lip? :D
yeah, the whole turbo2 kit is in my garden at the mo. lol :)

The car has under gone some big changes as support for the car has allowed it to go further than originally intended..
It should make its debut at japfest this weekend. :)

But dude.. why u so worked up about it. :p time will tell who owns it and believe me.. it will get used for alot more than chav shows and hard parking. As it was intended!
@skifledanabit: no worries chap.. pop over and say hi at anytime..
if im not near hte car ill be wandering round with a team green hoody and an epracing cap on laughing at chav cars. :)
I dunno. I dont think i am, just everytime i think its someone, its someone else. So then i throught right, an abundance of exclamation marks and question marks will sort this one out.
ohh ohh ohh, that sounds like a dig at someone :o
