Hi Alex. Thanks for joining - it was me that quizzed you at modded :wink: . I'm working on some pics of the show (I got about 997 photos so its taking me ages to wade through them all.) - and will certainly be including your beastie. How about giving us all a run down of the specs. Your intercooler and raditator set up was trick!
sure that pic is when it was freshly imported from garage feeds japan ( same guys who did tokyo drift) well ive changed quiet alot since then the main mod had been the v mount intercooler .
many people go for a front mount but i wanted to be different and try the v .big but the kit is 2900 pounds plus import and there for very exspensive so i shopped around and found a guy selling a flat intercooler and proceded to stip the car my self moved the radiator brackets turned it upside down and swopped it back to front red worked all the water piping and intake and it works a treat oh and i jig sawed my 1000 pound bonnet so the hot air is lifted as cold brought in .my friend helping nearly passed out couldnt belive i was so brutal but never mind you only live once heres some pics
standard as i bought it
after ive touched it

aye it was for the mot i was told that they near impossible to get to pass
ok other modds as i do car audio for a living i fitted a rear view camera where the boot lock should be with a pop up monitor in the dash
replaced the standard steareo with a kenwood ipod unit and built some door pods ,
it not had a bigger brake kit bigger discs and meatier calipers
mazda speed coil overs
de cat and full asma exhaust
the carbon i had left from the bonnet i made some canards
new strut brace
hks air filters and turbo timer
at the moment im trying to find some new seats .
new tyres shortly for the back as drifting bug getting the better of me

Thanks for the info. I bet you were a bit nervous cutting into the bonnet like that? Looking at the engine when you got it I see how much you have had to change to get the intercooler in place - well done I really take my hat off to you.
Did you know that a competition RX7 exhaust grows 1 inch in length due the heat at the end of a race? I guess the engine run hotter - they certainly seem efficient units if you look after them.
Do you go on trackdays much?

yes love track day s recently at trax silverstone had a few laps came out in the middle of the second bunch and ended up after only four laps second in the first bunch .some twat crashed and the track time was abandoned .it s a well weighted car lovely to drift sliding into corners on braking and drifting out i have vids will try to get them on you tube
Yeah - that would be cool. I love to see vids. Shame that 1 moron stopped the track day though!
Car looks really good though.
Bigger pics will be posted up soon - Just ploughing through 1000 photos and the first 200 have taken me most of the day so far!
