leif's 1983 Mazda RX-7
My "project car"
About this Current Vehicle:
I bought this RX-7 in 2002 with the intention of using its rust free body as a starting point for the RX-7 I always wanted. One built according to the Renn Sport (RS) philosophy followed by Porsche.
I stripped it, swapped in my specially tuned engine, and started to delete every item I didn't absolutely need.
Its now sitting at a friends place, a few hundered pounds lighter, but unfortunately not completed, and she will probaly stay that way fro quite some time.
Factory Options:
Nothing left but a couple of seats, a steering wheel and a few switches
Exterior Modifications:
Sunroof replaced with fiberglass pannel, "Porsche 924 C-GT" style vented faccia...
Interior Modifications:
deleted: Stereo, Map pockets (surprisingly heavy) parcel shelf, spare wheel, heating system, AC, Sound insulation, stock seats, arm rest, glove box, sunroof
Added: Miata seats, aluminum center console, white face gauges
Performance:
Tuned Nikki carburator, "rats nest" removal (if you dont know...look at a pic of a stock RX-7 FB engine bay), Custom built headders (built using jig design pioneered by GTU racers), ported and polished intake manifold.
Suspension/Chassis:
N/A
Drivetrain:
N/A
Electronics:
None...cept the distributor, headlights and a few other "eccentials"
To-Do List:
N/A
