mazda fd rx7... love **** love ... work equips... hmmm

[CROOKEDSTYLES]

well the fd finally ready to start doing crap too, but the 19" wheels gotta go.



busting a wheelie....



I think she is happy with some new fluids....



new fluids made her start smoking.......... white/blue smoke..... son of a bitch!!
Hopefully its not the water seals, thinking rebuild in my head, but decided to replace the turbos first.

Found some low mileage turbos on craigslist.

My boy took off the old turbos and one wastegate wasnt even hooked up and the housing was cracked.... thanks previous owner.



Taking out the banging stereo system ..... I didnt know demo work was going to be involved in this process.



found some work equip m1... not sure if these are going to work, but ill give it a shot.



test fit rears.... poked a lot......



new turbos going in....... new turbos fixed the smoke....



put the rest of the works on...... i dunno.... some negative camber, roll, pull, overlay fenders?? hmmm not sure yet, but rubs more in the front and the suspension is super soft. coilover time next!







car is getting fenders rolled and pulled today, well see how that goes....

[Thate34Guy]

looks good dude, keep it up!

[theseeker411]

Mmm...FD...

Looks like it's off to a good start. Get it closer to the ground and get those wheels more into the fenders though, the poke has me going like "Arriba!"

[handav2]

Mainly around lug holes.

[CROOKEDSTYLES]

did an alignment



rolled the fronts and backs



put them back on, waiting on coilovers and few adjustments, as is it doesnt rub anymore though.

[Shaun708]

coils, som neg cambers and bang bang :bigthumb

[CROOKEDSTYLES]

yes i havent decided on which coils yet, im still digging into it. any fd guys recommend anything?

im able to drive as is with no real rubbing at the moment.... the suspension is super soft on it now though. I'm also considering wider flares or rocket bunny kit, and fatty tires

[CROOKEDSTYLES]

also painted my caps black, some guys were telling me my wheels arent real work equip.....

[GTShunter]

I love FD's but this looks pretty darn silly to me.

[jerrychoochoo]

Toretto is finally in the stance scene lol jking. Car will look bad ass with some coilovers.

[CROOKEDSTYLES]

gthunter, you have no damn vision..... this isnt a finished product and if all you wanna do is **** then stay the f outta my thread.

[CROOKEDSTYLES]

so kinda looking into the rocket bunny kit... or overfenders

[GTShunter]

Not ****** just being honest. If you're going for that RB look then cool. But from reading your thread prior to post #12 its hard to see any type of direction that your trying to go towards. As far as my vision...look at 3 of the cars in my sig, you can't pull those off even in your imagination without vision Sir.

[CROOKEDSTYLES]

^^ dude its a build thread, sick of guys bashing crap and expect a car to be built in one day is all.

[GTShunter]

I understand but dont be so defensive over the Internet. Take criticism for what it is...criticism. Just because i think it looks silly doesn't mean it is silly. There's no bashing when a personal opinion is stated. Not everyone is going to like what you're doing and some will openly express it on the internet to you or in your thread. Don't meet them with hostility or defensive rebuttles just take it and keep on moving and doing your thing buddy!

Im pretty sure I know its a build thread. Like I said earlier your vision didnt seem to be stated or heading in a particular direction. I do not expect anything to be built in a day. We all know it takes months to wage war and years to end war.

GL with your build.
