fc3s · 02-07-2010, 12:58 PM

i am finally allmost done putting my beast together . it will be done this spring and i cant wait 2 1/2 years of hard work and money . well here is pics of the engine bay it just needs a few more parts and i am in the process of installing a full bodykit , lambo doors , new spoiler , wide front and rear fenders , rims and tires , and coilover kit , plus more . let me know what you guys think

sinner · 02-07-2010, 01:10 PM

Honestly not a fan of the lambo doors unless they're on a lambo but it looks like you have allot of work into her. Any numbers?

SvicksTc · 02-07-2010, 01:12 PM

ya i say ditch the lambo door idea, they are heavy and pretty gay looking....

would also love to know some numbers....

**Got Insulin?** · 02-07-2010, 01:33 PM

Agreed with ditching the doors, car looks pretty sweet now..

TalonTsi97 · 02-07-2010, 02:37 PM

holy crap thats a lot of wires and vacuum lines. Get rid of that cxracing sticker as well.

bl@ckvr4 · 02-07-2010, 02:47 PM

Instead of getting vertical doors, get the car painted instead. Trust me, it's money well-invested. Props on sticking with the rotary. That's what's up!

lagos · 02-07-2010, 02:49 PM

Keep the car clean and simple. Lambo doors and overdone bodykits are generally played out these days.
Id also clean up all of the blue vac/electrical lines all over the engine as best as you can and go for a cleaner look.

good luck.

Looks great other than the blue spaghetti!

Big_Bird · 02-07-2010, 02:56 PM

Say no to lambo

fc3s · 02-07-2010, 03:11 PM

wow ok so no lambo i will try and clean up the wires like i said its still a work in progress , i dont have any numbers yet cause i still need a tune but its a s5 jdm turbo motor ported and polished , gt45 turbo and 750 pri and 1200 sec injectors looking to hit somewhere in the 400 range its a stripped interior so it only weighs around 1450-1500 right now

nhanxsolo · 02-07-2010, 03:45 PM

no body kit neither please.

I don't know about that man. Did you put it on a scale? I don't see stripping the interior losing over a 1000 pounds. How stripped we talking?

Looks like its coming together. What are you tuning with?

doug · 02-07-2010, 05:34 PM

imagine playing find the vacuum leak on that set up..

fc3s · 02-07-2010, 05:41 PM

its wire loom for my standalone unit not vacume lines plus my spark plug wires are blue and i have located the battery in the back of the car and had extra wires wich i put wire loom on , a fully loaded rx7 only weighs 1750 stck fully loaded so no i didnt loose a 1000 pounds there just really light cars in general . i dont really car what anyone says i wanna do lambo doors and um thats what i am gonna do and thats that. as for the body kit thats going on as well if noone likes it buys yourself an rx7 and do it the way u want but dont tell me how to build my car . i respect opinions but i wont stand to have someone tell me how to build my car. if i wanna paint it neon green and slap on some neons underneath and make it ricer heaven i will .

StylezTA · 02-07-2010, 05:45 PM

^ Now ur mad. Chill out. Expect that **** when u post up future mods like LAMBO DOORS.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_RX-7

Your car stock has a curb weight of 2300-2500 pounds. It isn't gonna hit the scales at 1500 pounds esp with ur lambo doors and body kit.

fc3s · 02-07-2010, 07:21 PM

ok i am chilled out , the lambo doors is just something i want more than i need plus i got a killer deal from my boy in cali 400 bucks for the kit . i admit they are ricey and have wanted them when they first came out but couldnt afford them at the time . now that i had the cash i will install prolly get bored of them and switch it back. and the bodykit that i am installing is very tasteful and accents the body lines great and its not a cheap ebay piece of crap

SvicksTc · 02-07-2010, 07:33 PM

what tranny?

J240 · 02-07-2010, 08:29 PM

looks like a good start to me. just build it they way you want it.

Scapegoat · 02-07-2010, 09:19 PM

Spock's crx weighed 2020 stripped out... i doubt this car is under 2000 lbs

from your link.

Curb weight: 2,625 lb (1,191 kg) - 3,071 lb (1,393 kg)

the lowest that car weighs is probably 2300ish.

driftingrx5.7 · 02-07-2010, 09:21 PM
