[ZGN]

[one320fc]

I vote for 2GSLSE's FB!! I don't have pictures but im sure he does, its a work in progress but its going to be one hell of a car when its done. In his own words my FD doesnt scare me any more! (396whp) just laid those numbers @ KDR

[Whizbang]

my 1982 Rx7 rally car

its had a long, hard life. Originally, built as an SCCA Pro Rally car, it has since been grandfathered into a Rally America logbook. I am the third owner of this car since it started life on the dirt. Many interesting ideas and innovations had been developed by the previous owners, and i certainly added a few of my own.

Modifications:
-12a, streetport with a weber 48 IDA. GM alternator to get the amperages needed.
-dual inline oil cooler setup
-Exhaust is a racing beat header, lightly hacked, into a custom two pipe arrangement made from DOM roll bar tubing (exhausts take a beating on stage)
-Miata gearset adapted into the transmission.
-4.88 Mazdaspeed final drive, with revamped oem LSD. Rear axle has been reinforced. Additionally, the front frame has been reinforced.
-Revalved Bilsteins and custom made springs in a higher rate.
-currently using a terraphone intercom, but plan is to replace it with the peltor model.
-Sparco EVO seats
-dashboard is "flocked" to solve the issue of sun reflecting off the dash.
-use of aluminum and HDPE for underbody protection
-typically running Silverstone tires, but might be switching to Lassa due to cost.

[TS87FC3S]

re speed headlight motor delete?

[jfaplanet]

Some things Billy didn't tell everyone.

[Whizbang]

what is this headlight motor delete?

[IH8DSM]

Basicly you take out the motors and Billy sends you this rod that snaps on and whenever you want your headlights up or down you have to manually do it

[TS87FC3S]

cant you do that just by taking the motors out? isnt there already a stop point they sit on

[IH8DSM]

Nope, nothing will keep them staying down or up they'll just flop around

[Whizbang]

well tell the people who bought respeed to start making those things again. Probably the only thing im intersted in.

I would post some, but it's not my car -- this is the guy that won 1st place FB at DGRR this year, and since I was so impressed with his car, I thought I'd nominate him. Anyway, I might have some pics of his car from DGRR, will post them when I get around to getting all the pics I took at DGRR this year off my camera & organized.

Vote for him. He'd never expect it, after everything he's done to help me with my cars throughout the years, he deserves it. He was the one who even suggested that we even keep trying to get my car to run the morning that we were supposed to leave for DGRR '11. He has helped me numerous times to fund my project and doesn't ask anything in return.

Thank you Dad.
