This is my \'84 RX7. Originally UK, was pretty rough when I got it bodywise and mechanically, but the engine was absolutely spot on. A full service and the engine doesn\'t miss a beat - 96k miles, no rebuild yet and no sign of a need of one. After I paid import fees, I got around to the resto. Hit a couple of massive obstacles along the way, but I eventually got roadworthy. Welded, respray, powdercoated the metal trim, fully polybushed and PI springs. Had a great exhaust on it when I picked it up. Here\'s some photos from the First National Irish Rotary Meet.

Picked up a couple pairs of wheels, some SSR Formula Mesh and Longchamps. Longchamps were rough as hell, but the lads up in Triple A Customs did a savage job cleaning them up.

13b, coilovers, adjustable watts linkage bar and Clutch LSD in the winter hopefully!
Thanks for the pictures, really like the last one:Thumbs-up.
Looking good. Both wheels looks good. :) BTW, that first picture from wheel, what are those?
Cheers! They\'re SSR Longhamps XR4.
Great looking car there, the longchamps win for me, neither wheels a bad choice though :)
Where did you pick the longchamps up?

I bought them off a friend of mine, had them on his AE86. €250 for a full set :D But one pair of them were too manly for the FB, the offset was super low, so wouldn\'t fit unless I went at the arches. I didn\'t want to mess with the lines of the car, so traded them for the pair of Formula Mesh. I\'m a fan of mismatched wheels on 70s and 80s cars, as long as the wheels are cool :D
