So.. I was riding a bmx bike for a while after selling my old cressida. I was extremely sick of going to drift events and seeing people driving and not being able to drive myself. So I decided that with the little money i had, i would buy a car. My friend had a 1983 Mazda RX-7 Sitting in his driveway for months, had no battery, I had never heard it run, but i trusted him when he said "it runs perfect..when it runs". So i bought it. Here it is when it was in my friend possesion So bone stock, with a sparco sprint jr installed. I decided to choppy the springs(no money for coilovers lol) and this was the turn out.. Wasn't low enough as I wasn't scraping everywhere I went(i love low).. so i cut the springs some more, then the shocks bottomed out, so i need to get short stroke shocks So now i tuck 205/50/13's all around.. I am on the hunt for an open diff to weld up, or im going to rebuild the LSD that's in it. So for a grand total of $450 canadian dollars, i think i have myself a pretty good car.. minus the fact that it gets like -100mpg, i love it
hoping to get action shots soon.. i just need to get tires mounted on my spares before i do any skidding
hey i dont actually post on here much, but i have been reading your blog quite a bit the cars you build are cool as they are so cheap and shonky its cool! your speed hero 86 was pretty sweet too! keep it up man.
Im not the speedhero man, but my good friend quinn is, and that is who had the car before me. But.. i have helped with a few of the speedhero cars.. including the rotary wagon.
thanks for all the compliments.. car will get beat like a red headed step child. Don't even worry about that.
definitely a 12a. Love it.. if it pops im either going to get another 12a to toss in here, while i rebuild/port this 12a. Or im getting a KA24DE from a 240 and putting it in.
sweet fb dude, my boss is building one with a ol' rover v8 turbo, i will have to show him yours, he'll cream lol
I love the sound of 12a's when they get ported, best sounding rotary IMO, rawer than a 13b or 20b. Although Mad Mikes 26b sounds awesome in the metal.
How are these for drifting as there was a mint and i mean mint one with full red interior for sale over here but he wanted quite a bit and they look to retro to trash. Also isnt there a silly law in us/canada that if you fit a cage it has to be a FULL cage and approved if using harnesses?
No idea about the cage thing to be honest. As for drifting its like a corolla.. a corolla with like 120hp and as many rpms as you want
on order.. Fender flares 4 inch wide.(Just 2 flares) | eBay And.. 14x8 0 offset front, and 14x9 0 offset rear diamond racing steelies. Chrome lips with purple centres. Yay
changes have been made. getting 14x8 0 offset fronts still but now getting 14x9 -20 for rears. Measured everything today and I will need to roll/pull the fronts a fair bit, but with the rear flares the back will be mint
