Looking good man!!

Nice FD!!!

A friend has one with rpf1's as well.

Sorry to go off topic a bit but what was your suspension setup on the RX7? As far as wheel size & tire specs, coilover/springs....PM me...

grambo · 07-03-2008, 02:44 PM

Congrats. Its always good to say hello to one of our newer STI addicts...you'll never go back...LOL

oldlady · 07-03-2008, 02:46 PM

my FD was one of the first ones in north america with the 17x9+45s since i didnt want the non-concave face

then autornd started bringing them in like mad! rishie even used my car to sell 'em. tires was 255/40 RT615s.. suspension was the tried and true koni yellow/eibachs. hope that helps

nice. looks real good man

New pics with new parts!

1) Replica Vlimited lip off Ebay. Lip fitment was fine, but had to redrill some of the holes to fit the screw/bolts.. was considering painting it a flat black since the finish was OK, but after applying Mothers Back to Black, it looks much better now. (Pic below is pre-mothers)

2) Also in the pic is my OEM fog light bezels I ordered off Subaru Genuine Parts. More on this after

3) Buddy Club Super Low Down seat rails from Evasive Motorsports. No issues with installation. Transferring over the seat belt sensor etc was fine. The only PITA was disconnecting the damn harnesses. I didnt transfer over the passenger bladder since I was running a 5 point for the passenger.

4) Kool Brake Kit hoses with Home Depot dryer duct reducers. Drilled into the bezels to secure it with two screws. I'll have to rerun the hoses though as I'm rubbing on near full lock.. Cut the fender liner on the driver side despite reading I wouldnt have too. I couldnt find enough room, so this will have to do for now..

Got to try out the car on the track with the hoses and it was great. DS3000 pads + this = no fade.. I even got my "i-brake-hard" award:

How did you run the passenger side brake duct?...i was hoping that i wouldn't have to cut the fender liner...but it gets awfully crampt on that side

the passenger side isnt as bad the driver side. i folded back one of the mud guards underneath and snuck the hose thru.

Did a nice wet lapping day this past Monday in at Pacific Raceway in Kent, WA. Here are a couple pics I "borrowed" from the photographers website til I receive the CD from him.

Overall very fun day. Skid pad was set up for us to use as well. Regretted not actually learning the limits, instead just did huge four wheel drifts. LOL.
