I agree about the FD RX-7. The wheels look a little on the rice side, but everything else isnt that bad.
Edit: After seeing a better picture of the wheels, they actually dont look ricey either.

I always thought your plans were to keep your Mini stock. I guess not.
My wheels are meeeelting!
Oh, and the Stage 1 kit is fitted. Note the shiny new exhaust. I might just have to paint it though... I don't like shiny things on my cars. Or I could just let it get really dirty.
Still, it's performance-enhancing mod, so I can tolerate the shiny. Shame about the no-longer-standard noise, really.
What are you plans for it?

They were. The plan changed when I found out that Stage 1 kits are 10 a penny, whereas original exhausts are bloody hard to find. It's only because I broke the original exhaust beyond repair that I put that on.
And that's the current plan for it: as parts wear out or break, replace them - either with standard or modified parts, which ever is easier to find.
I'm doing my best to keep it looking original, though. It is, however, faster, so it's not a mod for the sake of it.

Very nice! Did you swap in the SR yourself? I've contemplated buying a 240sx shell and swapping in a SR or RB myself just as a weekend fun project. It's difficult to find a body that hasn't been completely rusted out.
Most owners who are selling s13's with clean bodies expect premium prices, especially with todays "drift tax".
By the way, the guy with the MR2 on volks, that car is amazingly sexy. Keep it up!
its a KA-T ( KA24de) i built the turbo system myself. i was going to Bullet proof motor number 3 of 5 but the japan thing changed stuff, before my 240 about 5 years ago.. i worked on Honda's a ton and built up good mechanical skills . i never owned a Honda though.. when i got my 240 i was shocked how simple things were. For example, i can change the clutch in my 240 2 1/2 times in the same amount of time it takes for a FF clutch job lol.
man im sooooo glad i got my car before the drift craze lol
REsuperG:
thats a clean FC man..... that FD that im parked next to that guy is a freaking Wankel nut... we are putting a 20B-T in his rx-8 when we both get home... man cant wait to drive it.
Fairlady:
i also had a coupe lined up to buy... i was going to venture out and just drop a rb20 in it for a nice daily. my current car is a bit high strung lol no interior etc.... i hardly went on dates man because of it. and we have horrible roads im DC/MD so i feel EVERY thing.
your look very clean and O do i miss my pignose

Thanks. I used to live out in Woodbridge. Ohio isnt too bad, potholes and detroit are known to swallow cars whole. hahah.
Its nice to see someone keep the KA, it seems like everyone has an SR in their engine bay. I rebuilt my ka over the summer, if it withstands the wear and tear of this season, I may go the same route you did next year.
thanks... means alot coming from a true mechanic!!
wow 20B RX-8 huh?! that's UNHEARD OF in my book, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was first to accomplish that feat!! that engine is RIDICULOUS!! if he's keeping the 6 speed tranny, I'd be even more baffled!!
please post pics in the "Imports" section of it if you can!! or if there's some type of thread on RX8club or something on it, link me up!!

Woah, I live like 10 miles south of Woodbridge. But yea I agree with the other guy the roads around here could be much better.
And the only thing I really don't like about the RX-7 is the headlights. I have yet to see a car with flip up headlights converted like that, that I actually like. The rest I could live with tho.

YEAH HYUNDAI COMIN' AT YA.
Seriously, though, it's a good car. The Kumhos on there are crazy good, and I like how the Borbets look. I kind of parked like a dick in that photo, but whatever. The only thing that's a little funny about it is the gearing. I think it starts out in second, but it crawls up to 30 for it to stay in 2nd. If you give it even a little juice to keep up with traffic, it'll drop into first and haul ass. In other words, the flow of traffic is like right in between gears when you're trying to get up to speed from a red light.
