The season is here! Weather the build was complete or not, I wanted to be driving. The FC RX-7's have horrid stock steering angle, so it needs some type of angle kit. I also get rid of the "Dynamic Tuned Suspension System" or "DTSS" that comes on FCs and allows the rear toe to change under heavy cornering loads. This is simply fixed with a solid replacement bushing.
To be honest, I was extremely pessimistic about the RX-7's ability to drift. Unfortunately I have a Series 4 Convertible which means I have the lowest powered engine, the heaviest spec (with a roof welded on), and a the highest final drive ratio of the generation; it had nothing going for it. So if you were wondering why I was embarrassingly excited after I, a very novice driver, was able to slide it, that's why.
Thanks for all the support on the project so far!
