Imports

The RX-7, does it ever join drift battles?

The red one? Drift battles? They do competitions, sponsored regional track meets, a couple times a month starting this weekend I think.

I'm hoping my Star Specs will end up about the same width as those two so it's got just the tiniest bit of stretch.

Hey Keef, for what it's worth, here are my Star Specs, 255/40, on a 17x9 SSR Type C-RS:

Judging by that, your 235s probably won't have much stretch at all on a 9" wheel, if any... should look pretty good imho, though. I prefer my sidewalls to be pretty flush with the wheels.

MMMMMMM!! Star specs

 

[Keef]

 

[speed junkie]

It's attractive but I think the RE-Amemiya wheels only look good on the RE-Amemiya car.

Speaking of FCs...

These are, to me, not very appealing but I've never seen it before.

I thinks its a repost but what the heck.

Why are only some panels matte?

 

[CodeRedR51]

MMMMMMM!! Star specs

I may run those after my Azenis wear out.

WIN.

Why are only some panels matte?

Top half panels are gloss - kind of like hot rods run. I wouldn't say that it is a particularly effective job, going by that one photo.

Nice,hey Keef was is you that had the turbo ii not so
long ago? If so what ever became of it?

He never had a Turbo II.

 

[motortrend]

That the same Lex that was posted here a while back with a broken frront bumper? It's looking quite good, don't get why the front seats are so low though

So who had the turboii and was asking for a inspiration was it time attack?

 

[Time_Attack]

I don't remember anyone having a T2. It wasn't me. Personally I drive an AW11. I think I remember keef wanting some inspiration for his car but if I remember right I think its an NA. I don't think I've ever seen it though.

 

[Keef]

Nobody ever had a Turbo, I just have an NA.

Eh, RT-615s? People still have legal ones? But I'd strongly recommend the Star Specs, as they don't grease up like the RT-615s do after some spirited driving.

Low mount rails. My old AW11 was like that; the Momo seats were easily 3 inches lower in the car than the OEM seats. Was quite nice since I am quite tall, and even more so with a helmet on at track days.

As for the actual appearance of that IS... I don't think the side skirts or front bumper really complement the shape of the car, they look like blatant after thoughts.

 

[Joey D]

And I bet this thing owns...

 

[Time_Attack]

I bet it runs 12s. Every one knows subarus can't launch worth a damn.

What kind of low rails were you using? I have the same problem with headroom.

Legal ones?

I may actually just go all out and run some NT-01's when the Falkens are done, and get a second set of wheels for the street.

I used to run Ecsta XS after the Azenis. They were alot better. But yea I have R888s now and when Im driving around I use the stock wheels and tires. I should be getting TC105Ns towards the end of this month or early June and those will be the r-comp package and then I can use the Watanabes for everyday tires

I just wish the 15s came with the concave face design :/

 

[Azuremen]

Legal ones?

By legal I mean some tread left for street use.

I used to run Ecsta XS after the Azenis.

Same deal here and man what an improvement. And from what I hear the Star Specs are only better. R compounds are a bit out of my price range and my planned use for my cars, since I do like to drive to events on the tires, rather than figuring out how to put a set of wheels in tires in my car...

What kind of car do you have? I have an NA Miata and I can fit all four tires in it. It just takes some clever fitting

Holy HDR.
I must admit that I was never a fan of the RX7 and even less so of the mk4 supra, but every time I see an RX7 driving around, I can't believe the car is almost 20 years old. It just looks so modern.

 

[Perfect Balance]

A bit too low, but meh.

And more from the Drift Matsuri:

For those that follow Alexi's blog. Glowsticks on the spokes!

Notice the glowing muffler.

Kudos to a fellow AZine member who attended a LF-A track day.

And, by the looks of the tires, took pictures of a car that didn't actually go on the track?

 

[Azuremen]

Ugh, Carbon Fiber on Black... a less than flattering combo because of the lack of contrast...

And yeah, I'm with PB on this... there is no shoulder wear on those tires.

I don't know, I don't care. I just posted pictures of an import some might enjoy.
