Excellent work. What tyre specs? Massively useful for me at the moment as im currently sorting the ride height and stance.

thank you mate very appreciated.
 
well with the sale of the car i got given a 3inch decat, so im gonna fit that along with a sard FPR and a walboro fuel pump then send it to hayward rotary or re:worx to have a remap, anywhere around 340bhp would be great, then come winter time itl be in the garage for hopefully a single turbo conversion depending on if i get bored of the twins,
 
bought a omp dished suede steering wheel and a set of pioneer 6x8 rear speakers for it the other day so coming along nicely, i cant get over how clean it is

What a first RX7......stunning. Loads of attitude:)
I\'m liking the stock look more and more now, subtle side skirts, dropped with stunning wheels.
Very Nice

im thinking about a carbon diffuser carbon bonnet, carbon front lip and carbon door handles, what you guys feel about carbon on black?
Title: Just bought my 1st RX7
Post by: RXSpeedy on May 27, 2011, 10:24:51 PM
Looking amazing, i wish my paintwork would come up just as nice. Carbon looks nice on black, gets my vote.

What are the main fundamentals for a single turbo conv? Turbo manifold downpipe injectors clutch management anything else
Title: Just bought my 1st RX7
Post by: dthebuk on September 01, 2011, 08:56:23 PM
fuel pump
fuel rails maybe?
Mine had an FPR
Intercooler mounting will be different, this may affect how you mount your rad etc
Also theres some rats nest removal to be done
Title: Just bought my 1st RX7
Post by: Beau23 on September 02, 2011, 03:05:34 PM
Did u do the single yourself? How much roughly did it cost?
Title: Just bought my 1st RX7
Post by: dthebuk on September 02, 2011, 05:07:13 PM
No i didn\'t, it seems like a waste of money tbh. Much better off buying one thats just been done, especially with the current market for FD\'s!
