Goat Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks guys.Wheels are 18x9 rear and 18x8 front, 35p offset. Thanks man. Thats awesome. Any guard massage required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryup Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yea at that height it just rubbed like fuck and ripped the lips out of the front gaurds. Had to raise it slightly for now, have a guard roller on the way so will attempt to pump the gaurds / at least fold the lips up. Then low again.

Raizer Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thought it looked a bit higher the other day when I saw it parked up down Grey st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryup Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 So finally got around to doing this: Â Â Had a feeling for ages this thing wasn't quite right so finally made the trip from Gisborne to PPRE in Wanganui. Â They sorted the previous owners shit fuel pump install (now has a Bosch 044), set the Microtech maps up correctly and started winding some boost into it. Â Couldn't get past 9psi due to shit chinese wastegate and shit boost tap, so they fitted a new Tial 44mm wastegate and with a 15psi spring fitted made 316.4hp. Big improvement in response and top end power from what it was. Â The current turbo has a huge exhaust housing and is still way too laggy. A Masterpower T70 + decent boost control + a bit more dyno time should see 380-400hp so I better get saving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Awesome looking FC mate, those rims are LUSH! Has this motor been rebuilt at some stage and with what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryup Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks mate. Â Yea has been rebuilt around 12,000k's ago est. Â Pretty basic build, extend port, 3mm seals, dowelled block and balanced rotating assembly etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Cool, was wondering what had been done to take up the strain of extra boosts and horseys. Awesome looking FC and you should look at coming to our OldSchool Rx-7 meet up in Hampton Downs... (if you are near byish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Calico Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 3pc Meisters, swoon. Cool FC, there a sweet shape. Decent power I thought, funny how some people spend money to go backwards/ on the wrong shit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryup Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Pointless, picture-less update. Â Have added some Tein adjustable suspension to this thing, Â Masterpower S70 turbo and a electronic boost controller. Â Then it has sat in the shed for the last 4 months looking sad so was dropped off at Dtech Motorsport this weekend to finish off all the little stuff I have been to lazy to do (including new exhaust, the old one was a shit set up that dragged on everything and cracked all the time). Â Standby for more horsepower/epic engine failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWEST Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Excellent, Dtech are good dudes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryup Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Yea i hope so man, was real impressed with their workshop etc. Â Â Would have loved to carry on with PPRE, they are an awesome team and were so much help last time, cant stress that enough. Money well spent for sure. But, they can be super hard to correspond with, email/phone calls etc go unanswered often. Â They have heaps on though I guess. Â Just ran out of time (really want to get this sorted and get some serious k's on it this summer), so took a bit of a gamble with Dtech, heres hoping its all good!

fryup Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Haven't heard anything from them this week so I can only guess everythings going ok. Â Haha its not so bad mate i used to hate it too, then moved away for 7 years and recently came back again. Definitely better the 2nd time round. How long you been gone?

yoeddynz Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I too have a secret hankering for one of these. Sort of like the un cool Rex has become cool. Maybe we all bored of seeing another metallic FB on modgies or a super low FD with all manner of tat glued on that a sweet FC is refreshing. ...Adds another car to want list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
