Project FD:

Recently acquired FD as she sits now. Thanks again to Tray and Rico!

Plan include but not limited to a full rotisserie style restoration. Meaning she'll be stripped down to a bare shell where not one nut, bolt or ewven wire will remain. I'll be strengthening the jackpoints, dealing with any undercarriage rot issue that may arise, priming the entire car then undercoating the car with a p/u truck bedline

Then all the fab begins. Things that I know that I'll be building are a VMIC setup, I might incorporate a W2A precooler, various strut tower/firewall braces, rear tripoint brace, undercarriage braces, fender braces, etc etc. I'm sure there will be a million other little things as well. After the fab is done, the wiring will be gone through, relocate the battery, strip everything uneeded out, add what's needed in, stereo, lighting, fuel pump relays etc etc and then rewrapping everything with new split loom and self malgamating tape..... the tape that only sticks to itself

Then it's onto a full paint job. Haven't decided on the color, I'm torn between black, or the really dark BMW or Ferrari silvers. Nothing fancy on the outside, '93 bumper and R1 lip, CarbonCreation sides, Shineauto REA replica rear diffuser, new MS hood, shave all the badges and power antenna and keyholes, probably a 93 wing as well. Wheels will be Work VSXX or similar in 18's.

Interior will be completely redone as well in black with some silver/AL accents. No twin triple gauge pods though. Need to get intouch with MoTeC and AIM and see if there is a display that I can mount in the second din for some more info displays. At most I'll be doing two gauges where the climate control lived and relocating those elsewhere. Interior will be simple and functional and most importantly - CLEAN. Big stereo too I'm sure, not that big, all Alpine with some components front, mids rear, single 12" sub, and of course, my favorite PDX-5 Amp/

Suspension will be completely gone through including all new bushings and adjustable links whereever possible. Undecided on C/O's or a stock type replacement.

Going with a ported, portmatched, polished and ceramic coated 13B-RE with similar mods to the one I have in the FC. The ports won't be AS large though. If my frankensteined 6-spd trans works in the FC, I'll be running the same trans in the FD. Stock Torsen rear with the stock 4.1 gears. MoTeC M820 of course, stockISH dash, but I need to get more info that what's provided. Still working on the solution for that.

Turbo is a secret for now. I can say that it hasn't been done as of yet, or that I've seen on a rotary. Looking for 450-500 RWHP though with excellent low-end torque

Probably run some meth as well becuuase the car has the rear washer resevoir. Thanks to Sinned for that idea

Those of you who know about the turbo options, shedap!

So, here is how she sits now and will remain until the FC is ready for DGRRX. At which time the two will switch parking spots

Charles Blue Turbo II REPU Project

Hes the one with the red one at the gap past couple years.

so far hes decided on that its gonna be blue, have a turbo 2 motor and 5 lug, independent front and rear, maybe tubed front end and shootin for roughly 300-400 rwhp. Hes had the truck for years now and onto the pics im sure theres more but i dont know it and its not to those juicy details yet.

(SEND PIC's and More INFO to ZGN ASAP.)

================================================== =====

RX200013B
Location: Idaho
Project 1986 Mazda REPU:

13b n/a motor, 4-link rear, bagged

Need more info:
you must have a description of why your purchased the car, what you are planning for the car, the timeframe in which you want to have it done.

I will also need at least 3 quality photos of the Interior, Exterior, and engine bay.

If you car is in pieces then you can submit the 3 best photos you can. You may also provide a link to additional photos.

WE3RX7
Project FC 13B RE Single Turbo Swap
Location: VA

I have owned my FC since 2000. My family has always been into RX7s so I guess thats why I got into it. Back in 2002 the original NA engine blew. I spent the next two years swapping it to a T2. That motor was junk, so I ended up getting a rebuilt T2 streetported engine. After installing it, I wasn't super pleased with how the rest of the car stacked up. I decided it was best off to fully restore the car and have something to keep for years to come. I started restoring it in 2006 and thats where it is now. The front clip is almost together. The plans are to complete the 13B RE single turbo swap, finish the body work/paint to completely change the color over to Innocent Blue Mica and restore the interior to a nice black tone (opposed to the oh so popular blue that many S4 cars have). Everything I've done with the restoration has been time consuming, but worth it. Every nut/bolt/washer is being addressed. Things get cleaned, polished, painted, rust protected, etc no matter what. This car will NOT be a trailer queen though as so many have told me it will be. I plan to complete it late this year to have a good season of HPDE and Circuitcross! Looking forward to have it at DGRRXI!
