New Toy/DD RX7

[XXXJ]

No Pistons!!!


Picked me up another 1st Gen Mazda RX7 a couple weeks ago. Its a 1984 GSL SE package. The interior on this car is in perfect shape. I have 2 1985s at home too one with a new engine with 20,000 miles on it so I should be good on spare parts. LOL

Muffler I stuck on it for now to replace the huge restrictive factory one.
I have plans for a header and a full race exhaust.

hahhaahhahhahhahaaa:grin:

[BJ_Richardson]

You getting 2 fast 2 furious too huh? I went and bought myself a rice burner and put some ghetto rims on it too! Still waiting on my can of maxwell house to go dry so I can put on that new race muffler!

Seriously though, my $1500 (including rims:lolk:), 30+mpg accord has already paid for itself.

That car is in the bluff now, it's LaRhonda:kiss:

[alt_phil]

He's gotta grow out a mullet before he rates putting a chick's name on the side of his sweet sweet ride.

If only you got a van... mullet+van means you're able to get the wilderness scene with wolves airbrush job on the side. THEN you would be epic!

:grin:

I had a buddy with an RX7 back when I had my old YJ. We used to bicker over who had the cooler ride - his car being fast, my jeep being awesome. One day he jokingly asked if I wanted to race. I replied, "Sure! I pick the track!"

[Jeepnube]

Great! Now he has license to Wankel-off!:cheesy: Nice!:thumbsup:

[Shawn]

Sweet! I've always liked that gen RX7.

[XXXJ]

Great! Now he has license to Wankel-off!:cheesy: Nice!:thumbsup:

I'm gonna cut out an eyebrow sticker for it that says "Wanna see my Wankel?" or "Got Wankel?".

[creative coatings]

I think you should trim the fenders and put them boggers on it.

Whats wrong with unfinished rigs? Some of us relish the build as much as the pay-off.:vrolijk_26:

[XXXJ]

Well Im back to working on Rhonda.
I have a Racing Beat header,presilencer, and a straight pipe coming. Im probably going to use just the straight pipe. The header and the pipe will replace the factory presilencer and cats, so its going to be loud!!!
Also building some new hockey puck motor mounts, pulling off the air pump and ditching the power steering, and most likely going to an electric fan.

[greanbeans]

Worth it

[XXXJ]

Worth it

What?

[greanbeans]

Well said sir well said

[greanbeans]

And I was talking about the car

[XXXJ]

I got most of my parts in this morning.
The header is really beefy and well made.

[greanbeans]

You planning on shooting flames out the back

[XXXJ]

That's the plan.

[greanbeans]

I like the plan how big you think it will shoot out the back

[XXXJ]

Several inches out the back. NO HOMO!

[greanbeans]

Cool take a vid of it cause its awesome

[XXXJ]

Leftover parts. LOL My factory muffler has been gone for a while, that only thing left factory is a straight pipe that connects muffler to the other straight pipe. I may be putting my presilencer on anyhow. The video is an understatement of how loud it actually is.

Hockey puck motor mounts made and installed, insulated my intake tube, and built a heat shield to go between the header and lower intake manifold.

well hell thats a backfire flame . my old fords can do that .

i thought ya was going to really have a flame exhaust. ya need some diffent fuel to now to do that .

It will flame more under a load, I still haven't taken my fresh air pump off yet. That's not backfire FordTard, and your old fords do that bc they're a piece.:potty:

Im not talking about it having a flamethrower or a jet engine on it.:jerkit:

[XXXJ]

i can do the samething.


That's bc your crap is worn out and runs like crap, so don't come on my thread hating.
