Good work dude.

Drifted the hell out it. The rain got the better of me in the AM. The front/rear bumper are trashed but will be fixed sometime this week. My alingment was worse than i thought and the car felt sketchy once power was induced. Over all the engine is amazing and sounded super dope. The only problems I had engine wise was lots of blow by. Gotta install an oil catch can and this should solve the problem.

Front bumper

rear

rear tire after 8 laps

I was lucky enough to get all the pieces that broke off the kit. I should have listened to my wife and taken the kit off. Now I have to re-fiberglass the bumper, use fiberfiller, and re-paint it. Could have been worse!!

super awesome, how does the FD drift compared to a s chassis?

ballinnmiami240sx · 06-07-2011, 04:42 PM

right now it sucks because its not set up. Other wise from not driving it for about 2yrs. it was dope. Power on tap and more angle was awesome. The car switched back way faster than my coupe.

My old coupe same track freshly built stock SR:

The FD has about 150 more hp right now.

I love FDs as much as the next guy and wanted to get one until I hung out with some guys that owned some and said it was a love hate relationship and that FD meant Financial Disaster mainly because they always breakdown and the parts are more expensive than a 240. They are nice though...

ballinnmiami240sx · 06-07-2011, 07:48 PM

When you own an rx7 you better know how to build the engine and not be a a shop to shop dummy. Thats how people get raped owning an FD. Other than this the car is like any other car. If you want it to last spent some loot up front and you'll have not problems. Parts do tend to be more than the S-chassy.

Matej · 06-07-2011, 08:22 PM

It seems that FD's do not get much angle when they drift.
They sure look cool though.

i <3 rotary, i plan on getting myself an FC for a track car. but this isnt for 2 years or so.

Ottoman · 06-08-2011, 07:42 AM

i'm suprised to see so many rotards in here! sweet ride Man..

LoneStarSilvia · 06-08-2011, 11:42 AM

My compliments, I don't think I've seen luminous yellow 57's pulled offed so nicely on a single color paint job. Love it!

Looking to become a converted rotard here in about 3 months.

ballinnmiami240sx · 06-10-2011, 01:05 PM

looked at the picture knoop posted and I didnt like the front stance due to the body kit being so long. I decided to copy what Stephen "wishihadasilvia" did and take 1" of the body kit, so Ill be able to lower the car for more clearance and avoid having to do this again. I wont be making hyperfest this year and possibly eastcoastbash. Since I dont have any other events planned I decided to do this.

LoneStarSilvia · 06-10-2011, 01:30 PM

Looking at those pictures make my hands and arms itch.

Interested to see the final product. Weirdly enough, first time hearing someone shortening their aero to get lower.

ballinnmiami240sx · 06-10-2011, 03:56 PM

bc. · 06-16-2011, 09:25 PM

I was searching for info about detonation, then I found this thread. Now I am almost happy about having detonation, ha!

Good work sir!!!

WanganNastyMachine · 06-17-2011, 09:18 AM

Bumper for a fellow FD owner, good to see you picked up your hopes on the RX7 again. I may tear down my motor soon and rebuild it, despite it being in good condition right now.
