hey guys

well its been about 3 years that i've had my FD now
first the reason why i bought this car is because when i saw it for the first time, 1995 on south beach, i fell in love with the car

take your pick...the lines, the big tach in the center of dash, the pop up lights, etc... they all started a life long relationship with this car, then when i got my license, the hunt started

i found my car on, go figure, miami beach in november of 2008 and heres what she looked like, it was the cleanest one i've ever seen

bone stock besides the wheels and an aluminum AST

67k miles (body and motor) original grand touring SSM with black interior and glass sunroof :nod:

 

-99 spec lip
-more low!

working with a 3 piece wheel company the first thing for me was take care of the 2 things left on that list to make the car look perfect

so first things first...got me a 99 spec lip and some Racing Beat lowering springs (definitely the best lowering springs for the car)

then she looked like this

 

once the lip and stance was set...the next thing was the exhaust system

heat wrapped down pipe and mid-pipe

HKS Carbon Ti Catback

 

then came the day

the one that we all know is coming but none of us want to believe is coming

yup...roxy needed a rebuild...water seal went bad

and the best part was it blew on the way to a Mazda meet out here in So.Fla

so my reaction was documented...:icon_tdow

 

so here we go on the rebuild

picked me up a Rotary Aviation complete rebuild kit with RA 2mm seals

 

 

also picked up a spec clutch while the tranny was out

 

then i started the install of my V-Mount from RX7club.com forum member Eternal

heres the car on the way to the shop to get the piping welded



and heres with the it all welded up and ready to go

 

next came all the heat wrapping to keep Roxy's intake temps nice and low

 

during the build time of the car i picked up a set of Tein Basic coilovers, i had them on the car for about 500 miles....then i found a set of Tein Flex Coilovers with the EDFC package

 

then came all the fun modding

-White Wood 13" wheel
-Greddy e01 boost controller
-SuperPro Complete bushing kit
-Mazdaspeed Weighted Shift ****
-Engine Torque Dampener

 

then i invested in what i've drooled over in all the magazine cars, in all the cars at the track, and in the spirit of all that is JDM love

Bride Seats :nod:

 

so after 3 years of working on her...heres how she sits now
