Projecto FD!
Hey guys,
So I traded my precious 944 Turbo away last month for a Canadian LHD RX7 FD3S a bit over a month ago and I've been working on de-ricing it ever since. The first owner of the car had put some gaudy bodykit and super lame neon lighting to go with it and I've been slowly replacing the parts piece by piece.
I'll be updating this thread as it comes along and my mods come in as well. First up, this is how it used to look:
I'll get pics of how it looks without the waterslide rear spoiler and ugly rear side skirts now and post it up shortly

Mmmm parts
So fresh parts just dropped off the UPS delivery truck:
OEM 2001+ Bathurst RX7 Coilovers! Only 500 of these around the world or so I'm told. Should have a nice ride for the street while being slightly more aggressive for the track.
And..... Sparco Suede steering wheel! The factory wheel is massive and hits my knees so this will be a nice replacement:
And to top it off for now... I should be the first FD in Canada to own this when it comes in about 6-8 weeks, brand new Greddy Intercooler kit just released. Pretty nice package as it comes with a larger radiator and the intake elbows/filters as well.

Those will be nice additions Aaron! If you find the stock steering wheel too large, you can imagine how I felt! It even has yellow lettering, which is perfect!
...now if I could only get those wheels and back seat for the 944....

Oh wow! Can't wait to see this happen.

Don't think so, Kloubek tried selling this car for what seemed like an eternity for way more than 6 grand...

Oh for Christs sake. Not this again. It wasn't anywhere CLOSE to 6 grand. And do you know how many thousands had to go into it to make it roadworthy after I bought it off the guy who brought it to Alberta? Hey.. I have an idea. Mind your own business.
Anyway, it looks WAAAYYY better without the spoiler. (Though a small stock one wouldn't hurt!) I'm excited to see what this car turns into. And I *do* hope you keep it yellow.
