    Default My '87 TurboII RX7, from then till now.

    Little history...
    Bought this car in Oct '09 from a guy that wanted to sell it for parts. He said it was in good condition & had never been registered after '05, but was started & moved daily. I asked him to Email me some pics & was surprised at the condition the car was in. Car was in great condition. I went to look at the car & decided I had to get. I bought the car never hearing it run due to a seized clutch slave.

    Pics when I got her to my job...





    After getting the car to my job, we messed with it a little & got it to start & run with a new fuel pump. Was surprised at how strong the motor sounded & that it did not smoke. Got it towed to R&D Perf where the slave cyl was rebuilt & the car was looked over. I then took it home where it stayed put for a while until some parts that I ordered showed up.

    Here are some pics of her cleaned up...









    Then the mod bug bit, lol...














    Current mods/work since purchasing the car...
    -Rebuilt Clutch Slave
    -New Clutch M/Cyl
    -New Fr Calipers
    -Hawk HP street Pads @ all 4 corners
    -SS braided brake lines
    -K&N FIPK
    -3" turboback to HKS HiPower series muffler
    -Apexi Turbo Timer
    -All emissions removed & blockoff plates installed
    -Fuel Cut Defenser
    -New Plugs & Wires
    -New Fuel Pump
    -All lamps tinted
    -Nexen N5000 tires

    Will update the thread as the modding continues....

    Dyno with just the intake. Dyno with all other mods to follow soon.

    no wonder you love driving this thing, it plays right into your fantasies. look at that long ass shifter with the apple sized knob at the top of it.

    If I have it at work, sure. Getting the boost creep & fuel leak @ the pulsation damper worked on @ R&D right now. Should be ready over the weekend or early next week.

    yea get rid of the long ugly shifter bby buying my short shifter...I'm such a part whore. i think I try and tell you to buy it in every thread you're in. Anyways that thing is perfect. I just thought of rebuilding my motor. If I get enough motivation(money) I probably will.
