The kit is the imsa widebody, originally it was sold through cpracing in canada. They turned out to be a pretty shady company... The kit is now available through black dragon auto aka Victoria British. Just be prepared to spend alot of money at a body shop. I was lucky to buy a rolling chassis with all the body work professionally done, the previous owners father owned a body shop.
turned out to be really sick.. i see why people think its a porsche. and i like how you converted it to five lug and put those deep ass rims on, good call.
@cobratoxic I bought car as a rolling chassis with the kit already professionally installed. It was cheaper to buy this rolling chassis, than it was to paint my old RX7 showed in the start of the video. The look of the widebody really grows on you, and it's something you don't see around at all. 90% of the people who have seen this car, have absolutely no idea what it is. I've had "corvette, porsche, batmobile, etc etc" many times.
@cobratoxic I have to agree with Dansyoung, the widebody gives it more of a J-spec racing look than anything else. At first I hated the look, but I guess it depends what kind of car you want. I may consider it after I get all the engine work done on my FB.
@fuzzygokoss I was still living with my parents (started the project when I was 19 years old) didn't really have any big bills. Was working as a mechanic apprentice so I was making pretty good money and could do all the work myself. Just built it up slowly over time, one pay cheque at a time.
(hit send too early sorry) ...or did you refinish them yourself? And for project minus the body kit roughly how much did you spend? Not trying to be rude but I'm wanting to build one myself and was curious how much? I was thinking 5-7 grand(depending on the price of the car)?
@bwomp969 The old parts are all off of my old RX7 I had before I bought the widebody rolling chassis. Your estimate is way on the low side, I went way over the top with this build. In total I have about 60k into the car. The rear end was about $3000 alone, I did all of the work myself except the paint/body work. The engine is highly modified, and that is where alot of money was spent as well.
The rims are CCW classic 3 piece about $750 each if I remember correctly. The TII swap will make an FB fly, but I have gone above and beyond that with upgrade the TII. The car is 320 rwhp on low boost (10 psi), with 15 psi it should be just over 400 rwhp. Haven't taken it to the track or anything like that yet but on high boost I am hoping it will run a 11 second quarter mile.
One word, very impress you are clearly an amazing car freak/beast! just a curious thought how much did you spend on the body? please respond quickly as possible i'm making a car choice right now and i'm not to sure which car should i chose for a project, but after seeing this video it has motivated me to get a rx7, Thanks for uploading a great video yours truly, James.
James, I bought the rolling chassis off a friend of mine, it was in rough shape as far as the interior and had no drivetrain. If I remember correct I paid around 2500 for the body with all the body work already completed. The RX7 is a really good platform to start a build from they have alot of potential. Hope that helps!
wow man. im so jelious right now of this project. i have a 82 12a. but ill never be able to do what you obveusoly did to completely restore this car, one day i hope to have my car as nice as you have restored this one to :)
The rear rims have 5.5-6" of lip, deffinately could go slightly larger as well. 17X12 wheels in the back right now, but could probally squeeze 17x14, but the issue is finding tires that large.
hey man send me a privet mesg. iv been looking for alot of those parts and i dont really know where to look and iv been looking for a long time please if you can point me in the right direction
What parts would you recommend i buy first on performance for my 1987 rx7? its a GXL so it's the non turbo one and it has fuel injection problems, but other that that it runs ok. fyi iits automatic and i hope to be makin it standard soon.
Oh man your in the mix , i have a freind that has a t2 motor on his first gen with the same rear end and he's doing hight tens . and my brother has a second gen with a grand national motor in it all stock doing 11.03 all day . enjoy and i hope you do 10's all day .
i spy a pineappleracing engine stand adapter. bad ass car!!! i wonder what an fc version would look like? what kind of driving is this gonna be used for...its a little tall for my liking though.
This car is mostly going to be used as a street car that I can take to the drag strip once and a while. The ride height in the pictures has been changed a bit, I lowered the rear of the car down about 3 inches and for the front I am going to get coilovers eventually. Just my main priority is getting it on the road at this point.
Hey bro Ive seen ur picture's at canadian rx7..show car part. mine is the Black jdm Fd right under yours// nice work man it's nice to hear your engine running solid
Thank you! I have a few things appart on the car right now in order to make sure it's completely ready for tuning in February. But when it gets tuned I will be sure to take much better videos of it running. The two I took with it idling are with incorrect maps and an ignition problem that I have since fixed.
Man Thats awesome, I wished someone like you would buy my fc
