Car sounds really good. 12a or 13b? Exhaust setup? Porting?

[Kentetsu1]

Stock port 12a. Racing Beat exhaust. :)

thats pretty fast and I'm really impressed with the handling. I was expecting it to start fishtailing any moment. niceee

Thanks. Lots of work has gone into her, but for this race it was just a matter of being smooth. We get snow here 3 months out of the year, so experience in driving on slippery surfaces really helped out with the rainy course. Fun!

thats great, my sister's husband owns an Rx-7 (FD3S)and I helped him alot in modyfing it, so I know how much work needs to be done. i drove it a couple of times so I do appreciate your driving. it drifts so easily just by giving it a bit of excess throttle. how about some drift videos or some donuting next time? :p

If you want to see some drifting, check out my latest video. Friend of mine showing his mad skills at an autocross race... :)

Sounds good. I have an '84 SE (same color!) and want to do some of the same stuff. I already got some decent tires, and my brakes are new (might get pads) What shock/spring combo would you recommend for mostly street, with some autocross duty as well. What else is done to your car?

i think they do more harm than good~!

Yes, this is an fb. As far as tires, I'm running cheap ($50.00 each) Sumitomo tires. Very good for the money though. Since the course was wet, the guys running race rubber lost their advantage this time. I actually held fast time of day for the first half of the day, until the course dried up. ;)

a good car combined with very good tires. the suspension on the fd r1's are great, and any rx7 fd with modded suspension is sure to be a good handling car. this looks like an fb or fc.
