its a custom colour, its like a midnight purple, but the main colour is in the laquer like a candy... its got a carbon bonnet etc with just the laquer on it! looks amazing in person!
sorry for the hijack lol!
can you talk japanese? or do you have a translator?? or is it pretty good language barrier wise?
i did make a comment in your other topic, if you fancy making some $$ there are a few parts i need that is japan only....
the main place for doing v8 conversions in the uk to rx7's is in brum, guy called chris or tinker...
i had a brief look in to costings, but your looking 9-10k for a good specced conversion.
dalla, im overly jealous of you!! what are you actually doing out there??
the 240 with the tripple rotor looks an animal!!
i have to go to japan in the next year or so! chris wanna go together?? go raid all the parts shops lol? i got a friend of mine out there who moved out to live with his...
lol its the garage! well was the garage then 3/4 of it was turned in to an office, the silver padding is on the garage door to keep the office warm and quiet... i then turned it in to a garage/mess room lol!
to do with the way i drive the car, i find the ds2500's to be a nice pad on the front, for road they stop you well and provide a nice feel, the mu's on the rear as they lock up the wheels piece of piss, and under hard braking they balance the car better for me, if i was to run really aggressive...
the mu's will impress! they work well from hot or cold! what compound you getting?? they can be a little messy depending on which compound you get but seriously they are good pads! i think for the price difference i would go plain also i know the rx7 version is like 100 quid more for the...
the slotted will give a bit of noise under breaking, tbh i never have noticed any difference but some people swear by them...
dixcel also make some good pads the dixcel z pads are very good for road and track and are guaranteed not to fade up to 450bhp or something...
im removing my abs and...
wanna earn some money?? i want some red and black checkered floor mats like in that mini but for my fd3s rx7, quiet easy to get hold of them in japan and i would give you some ££ for sourcing and sending them to me?
the dixel settup is supposed to be very good know a couple rx7 guys running them, they do a carbon coated (not carbon ceramic) disc which is good!
project mu pads are amazing! i had some on the back of my 200 and they are the only pads that would lock up the rear wheels using the handbrake...

i was looking at the hx40 which has a 14cm rear housing (for some reason holset use a measurement no one understands) and from what people could work out that equates to like a .69ar the 35 has a 12cm which if i remember right is like a .54 or something...
guy i am learning bits off looks at compressor flow maps the lot i dont understand any of it lol!
i would have a look at the Holset HX35 dan chapman runs one and its a beast!
gs racing in the uk sell them for £450
lol a ca or sr or even a rb wouldnt spool it! im serious you wouldnt even get a tiny amount of boost before redline!
rotarys chuck out so much air its the only reason i can run it, this is big even for a v8 lol! most v8's run the t70 p trim which is smaller wheels than this has lol!
its a...
Yes very tempted almost went half bridge... The engine was ported when I got it though... It would basically cost 500 for me to go bridge at any time so will run street port for the moment, prob with bridge is it becomes a pain to drive around town it idles at 2krpm and in traffic that means...
Nope not watercooled no... It's a big ass truck turbo that's been re engineered used on a fair few drag cars.... Gotta take core off and rotate everything so it fits :) but was just checking it actually fitted the engine lol!! It's basically ready to fit now! Gonna go over Monday and do a few...
today is a big day... the turbo arrived!
i saw the size of the box and thought OH s**t! the box was massive, on opening it.... the turbo was equally as big!! this thing is ridiculous i have seen bigger but never did i expect it to be this big never EVER lol!
it fits JUST! had some...
WRONG! it cuts spark not fuel, its a bee r limiter or power builder they are called, plus they are known for bending rocker arms...
its no instead of either, if it cut fuel there would be nothing to ignite plus it would run massively lean causing detonation
lol first off when have you ever seen petrol pop out glow red and fire off more sparks like that did, secondly its propane being opened up, thirdly its part of the low rider scene and fourthly its running a v8 which is prob on carbs so has no mapping you doughnuts.
you dont need any sort of fancy boost controller... they are so much hassle its unbelievable lol!
i just got a greddy profec b spec 2 for my rx7, got a mate in japan to send me it cost me 100 quid shipped lol!
i have had avcr's and evc6's in all honesty i loved the evc... hated the avcr with...
gaz you running a decat or anything? if its runniong downpipe or decat or both, sticking a front mount on will raise the boost and prob give you boost spikes... i would look at getting a boost controller if i was you.
