    Cool RX7 project........sluggish!!!!!!

    So I have the car about 4-5 months.......after a long hard battle with myself, I decided to keep it and fuck some money at it!!!!!! (and hopefully turn it into a decent drift car). After Portlaoise on Sunday I figured out that I needed more lock, a new map, and proper suspension setup to start off with!

    I will be looking at sorting performance & handling first of all and when I have that sorted I will be get to the bodywork and some big dish hopefully ...I have a couple of ideas in mind for the bodywork, ive taken a shine to one of the veilside kits! I will post pics up of a few......

    Spec as it stands;
    Apexi Power Fc & Commander
    Omoni Water, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure & Boost Gauge
    Yellow Stuff Pads all round(new)
    Compbrake Hydraulic Handbrake
    Bride Seat
    Nardi Wheel
    Stainless Exhaust(unknown)
    Rays wheels(not in the best nik)
    Mazdaspeed bumper, skirts & spats & light cover
    Adjustable Camber arm knuckles & Toe arms
    HKS Hiper D Coilovers
    Arc Intercooler hard pipe kit

    The plans for it are

    Some extra lock hubs courtesy of Justjap!
    All new adjustable arms for rear
    Camber adjustable top mounts
    Get a new map and get as much power as I can out of it.....I need advise of what supporting mods I need to get the best setup possible...fuel pump, injectors etc....??????
    Turbo back exhaust
    Polybush it....clean up and paint subframes
    Maybe cage....unsure of a bolt in or a weld in yet???
    Then I want to stick a kit on and respray it....im thinking ninja green

    Updates will be slow as I only have the evenings during the week to work on this......will be back from Yowdy with extra lock hubs and Hydro in the next week or two hopefully when I can start getting working on it

    Thats about it for now, the plans will probably change along the way aswell....please comment and post your ideas and suggestions and opinions...I want to make this one different....... Any heads are better than mine

    Edit; oh yeah..... I will be needing to call on people for help....and probably a lot of it! This is only my second project build and the first one was a B18 eg so it doesnt really count! Anybody that would like to volunteer feel free!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

    Heres the pics as she stands now
