Back to business.. In order to go to the major horse power upgrade I had to do something with my rear tires!

A 285-35-18 in a stock look custom 10,5wide with 25 offset wheel was apropriate for that!

And some fun... A nice trunk sub to help the bose sound system!
I hope one day to make all interior floor in red and the roof black.

Jdm-r always delivers.
I'm glad you're enjoying the car!
I see your car was very close to our stand at last year's meeting. You may want to talk to spiffm about the carbon diffuser

You will see a dyno during the winter. It is not right to talk about HP Without one!
JDM-R has done this setup in more than 10 RX-7 and with some dyno and it is about 500HP at 1,1Bar.
We will see in time...

Spiffm is a very good friend of mine, last week I was at his place and we were designing the diffuser together as well as the flat bottom. I was the the one who fixed his front fender louvres...small world!
#10
Nice! Small world indeed, i'm the guy who made the first prototypes out of wood and sent him the measurments etc ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The louvers are coming out great, i'm looking forward to the end result!
