neonkiller Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/10/l_f591d074a3a24424926d45428903d134.jpg Well since my VW is pretty much done and I have done everything in iit I wanted to do as far as goals I wanted something else to play with this summer and started looking for an Mazda FC shell. Well As I was looking Hoblick posted up hae had one for sae with a V8 swap already in it. I got one hell of a deal but I had to promise him that one minor detail would happen this summer to it....... This is How she sits since buying it at the beginning of winter in 08. N/A 1987 Mazda RX7 Car came turn key,with Stock 5.0L H.O. conversion out of a 1991 Mustang T-5 World trans Oil Pressure Temp sensor Car has been thru 2-3 people I have found out and even found pics of the engine going in for the first time.... http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/50/l_c5eecbd656c445a6bacaff5b9881a2e5.jpg http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/9/l_01144402d4e44e38961c78c4f9cb60cd.jpg It will stay with me for a while hopefully and I plan on pushing this car to its limits... Why did I choose this path? Easy. I knew nothing about V8's or the ford world. I kept up to par with Ls1;s and knew what not to race but to me the 5Liter motor is pretty intresting little motor to beable to support 500hp and not skip a beat. This is a new learnig process for me and I am trying to do most of the work myself in order to know and have more knowledge then just sending it off to a shop to have them turn a wrench, Id rather my self be responisible and I'll be the only one to blame if something fucks up. Now dont get me wrong here but I already needed help on my brakes, Hell we beat on them for 2 days with no luck and they maxed out a 10,000lb press... thats out of my league as far as tools so i took it to will at 614 streets and he hooked it up. tuning will be done by Lasota and thats about it. I might even try to do some welding myself... Live and learn. Brakes Since then I have gotten it a five lug conversion with TII brakes all around and the Ebrake was fixed by "614 streets" He also had to help me and get the rotors off of the Aluminum hubs witch were a pain in the ass altogether. So in all the car has a completely new calipers all the way around with rotors and pads. Thats it so far. and here are some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonkiller Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Now the body is ruff on the outside and I already dented the rear quarter panels it fell off a trailor loading it up during the snow storm...... But I like it more of a sleeper and to let people talk shit about how fugly they think it is..... Hood scoop was gonna go but its staying along with the dryer vents at the top of it..... http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/12/l_8783b59315df49fb8f93594ea3dbe998.jpg http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/42/l_9ca85cd4ef9f4eb4ab04e9bbb57ccece.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I may've missed this elsewhere, but are you keeping the vw or selling it? That RX7/GT (or whatever the hell you wanna call it ) oughta be a blast. Good luck with it. Nevermind. Disregard the ? about your vw. You've posted again since I opened this thread. I'd also like to add now that I've seen the hood... Are you really intent on keeping it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep looking at the BT kits from Kinetic but then I remember I have another car I need to finish. It may be out this year, but it's going to be close.. there's more work than I anticipated originally. Just about everything has to be rebuilt or gone over before I dare drive it. I'll settle for a K04 upgrade in the VW once the K03 takes a shit, I just want to whip it around town, really low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neonkiller Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Looks great. the hood needs to go for the sleeper thing to work. Well as long as its parked where ever we goto to hustle this year there will be two fart cans on the rear and the hood scoop should make for some shit talking right off the bat... lol you cant see inside of the rear of the scoop or the sides so only one can wonder and im sure that person will have the slower car...... I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
