Lambo RX-7

Here's a pic of my RX-7. I just did new race motor, GT35/40 turbo, FMIC, 1600cc fuel system, lambo doors, and Carbon fiber hood.

Christ that's stunnin'! A relatively stock looking FD with Lambo doors, what an awesome combination. Most FD's you see with Lambo doors are usually sporting a riced-out bodykit just for good measure. I applaud you sir. Did you do the conversion yourself?

Just a question on the doors - as the FD side panels are so prone to cracking, do you need extra pressure to close them since the doors are at an angel ?

whenever you park your car do you always take out rotary housing?

Although I applaud the time and effort to get the car to that point, I've never like the lambo door kits on any car...makes it seems like a civic trying to be different in a car (RX-7) that already is different. It's one of those to each his own things. Maybe if you had been the first to do it a couple years ago, now it's like the spinner wheel craze...just following the crowd, or it just seems that way. I like the rest and would get the hood myself (is it Chuck's N-1 hood?) and the turbo kit is nicely done as well.
just my humble opinion.

As usual I agree with Tim 100%. Maybe a few years ago it wouldn't have been so jaded, but now every Tom, Dick and Hairy Dicks driving Civics have scissor doors. I however applaud your effort in creating a unique setup.

Ok guys...sorry...dont check this that often...This was a car show and thats why the rotor housing was out...for show....the wind was very bad that day and maybe thats why the door was crooked. I went to the garage and opened the doors and it looks good. Havent had any problems with door panels cracking. The car will smoke a Lambogini. The car would run a 11.7 with stock turbos, but now is pushing over 500 horse. On Oct 31st we will see if the current set up will pull a 10 sec 1/4 mile.

Oh yea, we did it ourselfs. There really isn't anyone doing this type of stuff at a shop. I have a couple of friends that are very good with 3rd Gens here in Denver.

The reason i say i call BS is the fact i dont see very many mods from the angle of your pic. And i see you still have a 13B, atleast on these forums there are not to many running around with over 500hp on a 13B.. so... post a dyno.. or list some mods
