Just wanted to see how things are comeing along on this build.... whats been going on... after reading things over... i sugest getting the fd rx7 rims... at 13.8 lbs they are nice... alot ligher then the swirlies...
My brother sold his chrome swirlies long time ago
he wanted to get fd rx7 rims, but than went with Excel Speed 17's, they're like 13.5-14lbs also wrapped with BFGoodrich KDW NT Tires
for drag strip he's gonna get Mickey Thomspon Import Version of slicks, gotta decide soon if he's gonna upgrade to oem size either crossed or drilled & crossed rotors or go with one of those huge rotors, but in that case he won't be able to use 14-15 inches rims for drag strips, with 11-12" rotors minimum wheel will be 16 inches
He's still loking for machine shop that will do custom gears, because factory gears sucks, he has few extra oem trannies laying around in basement, still in very good shape, but we don't want to use them,
after all he spent 17 grand in it to look perfect, and theres still prolly another 8-10 grands on its way to be spend....so better get quaife differential and custom gears
if you know somebody somewhere that might be able to do custom gears let me know
