Did you remove the spoiler from the car first? How easy was it to get off? I need to remove mine to get at the aerial and replace it.

And I know I have some rust under the spoiler too :( Yours looks fairly rust free ... shows it's been well cared for in the past.

And where did the flares come from Mick? A bit of work required to get the fronts to fit with the bodykit I guess?

Is Lucky your official photographer now? :lol:
yes I had to take the spoiler off first but the bolts holding it in place were rusty & seized that I had cut them out with a dremill what a pain in the ass! the guy I bought the fb from had it since 1988 & was always garaged so I guess that helps, the flares I got from ebay & I had to cut some of the front bumper & side skirt arch.

looking good though! th:
its so hard to get a proper widebody kit in the uk for it but its slowly getting to the way I want it, & I will get it resprayed in the future but next on the list is the reconditioned janspeed turbo kit that im having fitted next! according to janspeed it should push out 220bhp so with water injection, profect b boost controller, & a aem wide band it should b safe.

Wheels look perfect but how much work to turn your steering wheel with 225 Tires in front without power steering? ;)

Rx7 FB look better with big shoes.
But find best is rear 225x50x16 front 205x55x16. This is Porsche 911 oldschool special and works good with our car.

I guess the Janspeed turbo came from that red car? You will be wanting this then? :lol: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mazda-RX7-SA2 ... 461a658c9d

He wants big silly bucks for it too. You could find one with porsche style script for less now.

Sounds like a rather awesome project you've got there Mick. Keep us posted 0-0
