FEED wide arch kit now on : big thanks to all those involved.

[Initial-D]

Quite a few of the wide arch kits are similar in appearance and usally remove the brake duct section for better cooling.

I still love the big wide body kits from Kazama, Boarder and the RE Amemiya 95 wide kit, although they do add alot to the shape of the FD making it more of a JGTC car than street car.

[rextreme]

Wide is cool.

The RE-A one has the screw holes in the rear which arent so cool.

I like the Feed one better as the carbon skirts are cool.
But I also like how low the skirts are on mine. LOW

I think the only copy job is the new r-magic one.
A total RE-A rip off.

The others like Kazama make the car look very square which kind of defeats the purpose of the rx7 look IMO.

My rear arches are just trimmed. I run under size rubber and keep the car about 100mm of the deck so theres no problems even with 30mm spacers.

Chris, even though your getting pressure to do stuff.
Do it later. It still looks better than most others I have seen anyway.

I get comments for my sub standard paintjob, but you only notice it when your 2 inches from the car.
I get many more for the WOW factor.

You will notice you get even more attention now.

Enjoy it ...
Russ.

I wish,.. low and deck hugging.

[chrisBoid]

Thanks for the words of encouragement Russ - yep, I\'ll do it my way

[Initial-D]

I wish I could run my car that low Russ and never have to worry about scraping! I guess if it\'s just for show hydraulics or airbag suspension is one answer.

Quite true in what you say about doing it your way, at the end of the day it\'s what makes you happy.

I love the Kazama kit so I bought one.

[rextreme]

I thought my photochop was obvious.

I dont run it this low.
I could go lower
I have about 1 inch left on my HKS coilovers.
But every morning i just touch my driveway.

I bolted big metal plates on my parents driveway.
It works.

ID : OOOh Kazama....

Type 1 or II???

Your not going to do the spider thing are you...I hope not.
I really like how low the front bar looks.
the squareish makes the 7 look almost GTRish
I have seen a few in the Jap mags recently. quite nice.
Should cover your wheels nicely.

[Initial-D]

I got the type I with JGTC style front fenders (main reason I got it - love those cars) along with a huge 3D GT C-West type II wing. No spider theme!! Gonna do some gold and white/chrome vinlys up the sides and stuff for the shows over the summer too, keeping it all black aswell. I think I may need spacers though as it\'s an extra 30mm on the fronts and 35mm on the rear.

I knew it was a Photshop lol!! Just wished I could actually go that low and still drive the car on British roads!:D

Good idea with the drive way too.

Hi all,

Pete at Supreme Autocraft pulled out all the stops and fixed the arch/wheel rubbing problem in double quick time  It was no mean feat as he did it all without removing the new bonded on kit.

Now all I need is some good weather to see how it handles.

[chrisBoid]

[chrisBoid]

No hint of original arch left

[J4P RX]

Was it always that high or is that jacked up or something?  Looks weird!

[chrisBoid]

Hehe, lots of people say that, that\'s how it came over from Japan, I assume it is standard suspension.

[PETE SMITH]

I suppose suspension height is practicality Versus a "slightly" meaner stance.
In the case of your car Chris, i wouldn\'t risk any major lowering as the car looks A+ as it is!!-think of steep driveways and nasty speed humps
Pete

[Initial-D]

Wow you sure had that done quick!!

Looks much better now without the inner arch showing - top job!!:D Did you have the original splash guards re-fitted or some made to measure??

[chrisBoid]

Yep, double quick time

They are the original guards, it\'s all a nice neat job.

I am thinking that the rear arch well is a bit too big, now the inner arch has gone, the gap has increased.  But I really don\'t think I could lower it because of my steep drive

I may try and stiffen it up a bit though.  Ideally I want ride height adjustable suspension at the push of a button, like edfc but for ride height - I don\'t think that kind of suspension exists though - outside of costly air suspension.

[Initial-D]

I\'ve been advised against height adjustable air/hydrualic suspension as it\'s no good for handling.

Best to stick to coilovers with ride adjustment like Teins/Aragosta/Apexi at least £900 tho!!
