My FD RX7 wheels and Hoosier Quick Time Pro QTP Setup

So what a day... i ran to philly and back (6 hours) ****thanks chin0 for selling me the BC coilovers short notice!****

When i came back i painted my FD wheels black and took the Hoosiers to get mounted.
Then i installed my dynatek CDI and montero coil packs.
Then I installed my torque dampener.
Then i installed the BC coilovers, 20mm ichiba V2 wheel spacers and the RX7 wheels

Now its midnight after a long day but i'll be ready for the Blouch turbo event at Beaver Springs tomorrow. But the good news is, the car is all done!

Getting ready for the suspension work:


The BC coilovers


Suspension in:


street vs strip


Ichiba V2 20mm spacer up front


front is down on the ground


all done!

front closeup


engine bay with Dynatek install on buschur minibattery(had to modify the wiring for this install location)


time for bed.

unfortunately i had a rod bearing fail on shutdown on my third pass. this was my first trip to the track in this car so i am still learning to launch... ran 11.48 @ 125.8 @ 26 psi and 10's AFR

lots of room for improvement, first i gotta see how bad the crank is hopefully i can get away with just bearing replacement

Which cylinder was the culprit?

Did you at least get a good launch with the new tires?

What is that black lip thing you got on the front and the sides of your car? What is it made out of or where did you buy it and who makes it? It look like the stuff you can buy at home dept for a garden or something.

Looks good! I'm getting my Pro QTP setup put together now, just gotta get the tires. After seeing this I think I'll paint mine black too!
