As for everyone's guesses; nope. I guess I'll shine some light on my plans since I'm in a good mood. Ever since I got heavily into working on cars, it seems that the question for me has always been 'what's the lowest I can go?'. But I'm sick of that mentality, it puts everything into a competition where people feel they somehow can win something. So I've decided to turn my attention more to the track, where proper builds shine through improving lap times, and you get to drive cars like they're supposed to be driven. That being said, the RX-7 will only be a very mild track day toy. I don't want to pump too much power into it until I learn how to properly drive and get comfortable with being at the sheer limit of a car.
As far as looks; I've ordered an RE Amemiya kit, R-magic front fenders, and a bolt in 6-point already. I plan to carefully strip out the interior and store it somewhere so I don't damage the minty-ness, strip out as much weight as possible, nice seats (probably Sparco's again), upgrade the clutch, Fortune Auto Coilovers, and some nice Advan's with Toyo R888's.
Yes, I am bastardizing probably the cleanest FC in the PNW. No, I don't mind because it'll save me from a lot of the problems I could run into by buying some shoddy half-built pile of rust.
And if you're having a tough time imagining it, here's a picture for help. I just won't be running R-magic rear flares.
And, well, as for paint; you'll just have to wait and see

And cheers!

I'm actually currently job searching within Microsoft and a few local Dealerships. I'm definitely very thankful for how much my mum and dad have helped me out in the past, but they were never the type to just give handouts.
And cheers!
off topic, I'm a designer too, would love to see your portfolio sometime Daffy.Originally posted by projectmaxspeedwell i want to be different i could go for some vette saw blades

Jealous for sure! Almost bought one of these as my first car but dude was super sketchy. Excited to see this in track form. If you plan on tracking it and pushing its limits at times I would recommend inspecting and having a extra Apex seal on hand.

Have you started premixing it yet?
Oh yeah, what kind of wheels do you plan on rocking? I know a place that has some RE Amemiya wheels for sale for $600.Last edited by rice4life; 05-16-2015, 07:59 PM.
