from raleigh, nc!!
my name is mike and this is my 93 fd. mostly stock... RB parts include: springs, spoiler, and full exaust. kyb shocks, eniki wheels, drilled slotted rotors w/ bonez stage 1 pads, RP "drag launch" trailing link kit and diff mount, B&N shifter, boost controller and timer with non-seq. twin turbo setup, k&n intake removed air pump, weight reduction mods made to interior, dyno'd @ 333hp w/ carefully dialed in 12 lbs o boost!
future plans include doing a v-mount rad & intercooler w/ rb front bumper, single turbo conversion, undercarrage wind tray, fuel pump, tint windows, new performance ignition, new wheels and tires, working fog lights. a full engine rebuild will happen one of these days.
i have been having rx7world.com do the work on it. great rotary tuner! but now i am having some ignition issues. found bad plug wire changed plugs and wires and the car wont start 4-11-08 if it doesnt rain this weekend i am going to attempt to find the issue.
i enjoy rx7club and have found priceless info here and owe u guys alot and i am sure i will need more knowledge and enthusiasim in the future! to be continued...

1QWIK7 thanks for the compliment. And no we can't park on the sidewalk in NYC, but that's outside of the bodyshop so the police doesn't really care.

More on the VSXX's
Here are the labels with offsets. I got the fronts wrong, they are 8.5" not 9".
Being secondhand, I had no chioce on offsets, but they fitted.
Note that even though the rears are 1" too wide at this offset, the guy in Japan put on 245/40/18 which not only reduce overall height, they taper in toward the trea, thus missing the fender lip - no rolling at all.
I don't recommend this, but it's a cheap way I suppose.
The fronts are running 225/34/18 and fit, but needed a slight lip roll.

New to the forum as of this morning, just wanted to say that this thread makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Hopefully soon I'll be throwing my own RX7 up here- I assume the pictures of my old RX8 wouldn't be allowed haha
Keep up the good work everyone!
