Hi,

I'm new here but i've own my rx-7 for 7 somewhat years. I used to do autocross and lapping, now that i have a kid i don't have time for any of this, but i want to get back into lapping at some point in time

Anyway here is my car...

hahahaha no problem at all, you can drool if need be

As for mods, I just a few basic mods…

Tokico shocks, racing beat springs, racing beat strut bar. I’ve changed/rebuild everything related to brakes, I used to run GSP3 brake pads, but the noise in the city was killing my neighbors. So I downgraded to the green stuff. SS lines, motul 5 oil etc…

I don't have much performance mod on it… auto meter gauges, ported waste gate, Jacob rotary master ignition, reprogrammed ecu, downpipe, mid pipe, silencer is racing beat if I remember properly. borla catback. rewired/walbro fuel pump. Running premix, koyo rad...

It’s running at 11psi since I got it, my next thing will be a street port I think…

I also want to repaint the car, there are so many imperfections, I’ll take that opportunity to roll the fenders and fit a more aggressive tires/mags/suspension setup.

very nice! with those mods, sounds like she revs beautifully with those mods. What tracks do you run? I'm your average stupid American, so the only track i'm familiar with in Canada is Mosport That's the only track there that gets coverage here in the states when ALMS and Grand Am head there.

It does sound nice and it's pretty fun to drive. the tracks i've hit are called, Sanair, autodrome st-eustache, Icar, st-felicien (in lac st-jean).

Don't worry i love that 'cream' white so it's gonna stay. I just want to remove the imperfections, the tiny rust beginning in the sun roof, just a paint refresh I just need to find the time to sand the car down and paint it.

I'm pretty happy that you guys like it, i've spent a lot more time then i imagined building that front lip.
