you kept the original arches the same are you not going to bring them out to meet the new ones to fit wider wheels?

@ ENVYD : I honestly wouldn't recommend the lad i got them from, quality was shite and the fit was worse. Try here RE雨宮オフィシャルサイト all english orders must be done threw email, here's one of their addies : sakae_inukai@yahoo.co.jp

@ 180 BOY : The arches were such a bad fit i didn't know whether to keep them or not so I'll roll the original arches before paint or if needs be cut and weld.

Rear spoiler/light cover arrived, hope to be sending the car to paint next weekend but more delays will probably have me stressing instead :




Was mucking about with an arch roller too, need the spacers thou

Looking good, cant say the light cover is to my taste either mind. There's one on piston heads for sale with it at the moment. I prefer the normal one myself.

Awesome cars. I really enjoy reading FD projects. I'm defently going to see this through.

Good luck!

Oh, and a question. What does non-seq conversion mean anyway? x__x; (sorry for the noobage)

Thanks lads. As for the spoiler/light cover i don't like it in pic's either but when i saw it on a car in person i was sold on it ! I might chop and fill it so its three X's or three 7's, maybe three Rotors ? Any suggestions cause its staying

@ Ooomoo : Yes the 7's do attract attention, first day i had it on the trailor coming from the docks it was straight to an industrial yard for some ahem testing...

@ Phearson : Running an RX7 non seq is when you have both turbo's running at the same time where as mazda has them set up so that the first spools up and then the second takes over. With the kick from the second turbo can take a while to master. Ideally single turbo is the way to go !
