Project: "Last RX-7" by Herblenny

[hi its me alec]

DAMN you're really doing it. FDs will always be some of my favorite Japanese cars ever made

[Slycas28]

gotta love plasti dip lol, love your cars the fd's have such clean lines.

[Bobbythunder]

Love it. I think the wheels looked better raw though

[Herblenny]

very nice man. im not one for rotories, but youve executed all of your rotories very well!

Thank you! I try


anyhow..

Its been awhile since I last updated this thread.. So, here are few things I've been up to..

Trying to turn my MB FD RX7 into a fun track car. I had these Sakebomb Garage AP Racing BBK's for awhile and I finally had a chance to install them over past couple of weeks (been busy with non-car related stuff).



Racing Brake rear brakes



with my Plasti Dip Old School SSR wheels from the 90s

whole car


I also got this really awesome surge tank set up to solve my fuel issue on the 20B RX7 that went to SEMA..









One I bought holds 2 x Walbro E85 pumps. Quality is top notch and reasonably priced for what it is. Its made of billet aluminum.

They also make some cool oil catch can. I'm about to order one of those also.

Recently purchased the rare RE-Amemiya Carbon Fiber sideview mirrors..



Took the old APR mirrors off, made a small carbon base to cover up the old stock mirror mount area, and installed the new mirrors.



Afterwards, I realized the old bolts from APR were kind of old and had the used look. So, used some left over fender washer and bolts (from CR3 Motorsports) which worked out perfect!



I've also took my old vinyl out and trying out the Plasti Dip stuff on my lower half of my fenders to see if it helps protect the paint..



I've also blacked out the emblem using the plasti dip..



And how the car stands as of today with the mirror and such..

I like the Mazdaspeed so much more... amazing car!

[willie@stance]

damn, this whole thing was like watching Arnold Schwarzenegger pump some iron and seeing the end result lol. what a monster!

[softg]

not a fan of the red seats but the inserts are the tits

[Herblenny]

Changed out the hood to Mazdaspeed hood.. I think it looks better and makes the car less busy..



Another pic..



Few more updated photos of the MB..

After Deals Gap Rotary Rally... I went to check out Import Alliance... Few photographers took pics of my MB FD..







Today, I swapped out the Volks with R888s to more streetable wheel/tires. Tires are Toyo T1-Sport wrapped around BBS MonoForged wheels. I am a fan or older Toyo T1S and T1R and was told the new T1-Sports are quiet, grippy, and responsive. Which after driving around today for over an hour through back country roads, highway pulls, sitting on traffic , I like the T1-Sport.

I been working on my MB FD so I could bring it to my event, 'Deals Gap Rotary Rally'... which is becoming the biggest rotary car event in the country.

Anyhow, here are some recent pictures of the MB FD.















And the rare Mazdaspeed seats in red..

[Herblenny]
