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 (http://i25.tinypic.com/2005o2q.jpg) 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

i have to be honest and this is only my personal opinion so please dont be offended but i loved the car right up to the point that you stretched those tyres over the rims and painted them green....... definaltey not my cuppa tea. looked fab in the pic of it in the field though
thats cool nice simple job mate
looking good i like it, that is slammed, i bet you get a bit of rubbage :Giggle

I like the green rims... I think this car looks sweeeeeeeet
It has an \'i dont give a crap what you think of the colour of my wheels look\' 10/10 :)
Great job, looks lean and mean
i like it, the green is actually very nice on that there car. I would maybe think about getting some propr sized tyres for it though
looks strangely good...... well done.
he wont get any wider tyres on the rear with that offset
Looking very good fella. Always loved green rims. Sits very nicely indeed.
My first thoughts were "what the hell green wheels" ????
But looking at the pics it looks rather nice tbh :Giggle

I think it looks the bomb mate, Not over the top but a cool streetdrifter type of look,
Excellent 10/10 from me too

Did you have to roll the arches Mark to make those mega wheels fit?
