So starting to look into getting a little more power down. Hopefully picking up a Walbro 255 along with 720cc primary & secondary injectors and controlling it with an RTek upgraded OEM ECU. Anyone happen to have an rtek FC ecu laying around? Lol

In the meantime, here's a pic of the two cars chillin on the driveway lol

Rtek is an unlocked/tuned chip right?

Why don't you go with something like an emanage or AFC neo?

I need an FC with a BN sports kit so badly.

Looking great so far! Sucks about the issues, but looks like the latest event went well!

Yeah pretty much, I'll look into it, thanks! I was just going with Rtek since my buddy has an Rtek 2.1 ECU with a palm tuner that should work well haha

Quick update!
Drove another event, this one was a pretty dope night session. Car held together, and finally was able to get some solid seat time in. Starting to really get a feel for the car and getting comfortable sliding it haha. Shoutout to VegasDrift for putting on awesome events for everyone to session and kill some tires!

Thanks Andy for the photos and the little video! (on my instagram @lorenzobayuga)

I want to move to vegas when i get out of the military. If I do I will probobly then re-side in a vegas jail after attempting to steal your beautiful car .

Love it man, dope pictures too. Driving it like it was meant to be driven.

Love love love those wheels.

Love it, car looks great! I love the mustang SC reps, eventually will probably put a set on my FC. I'm surprised the 10s fit alright up front, everyone on the RX7 forums makes it sound impossible.

what kind of wheels are those? cars come a long way from the last time i checked up on this thread. looks good man, keep it up!

Thanks man, do it! Gotta love some wide wheels that are cheap to replace haha. Yeah honestly it isn't too bad, I had to put a 12mm spacer to clear the strut, but there's such little clearance, gotta go to a 15mm spacer soon just to be safe.

They're Saleen SC 17x10 reps. Haha thanks man, I appreciate it, more progress soon!

[LorenzoBayuga]

Picked up these originally 20mm front fenders from Blake a while back, finally started working on em and made some custom ~40mm fronts! Pretty happy with how they turned out, for my first time fiberglassing custom shit haha. Finally room for moar tire and moar angle coming soon.







I'll post pics when they're finished and painted soon.
Thanks for checking it out!
