Modified Mazda racing machine

David Allen — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 03:37:56 +0000

This is a great example of what can be done with a super Mazda RX7. In fact, this is the sort of thing that stirs the imagination where anyone can take a standard road car, modify and race it. What could be better than that? Sure, there is an element of expertise needed to get to this level, but some of these teams have been around for years.

Building a car with a view for racing is so satisfying for the owner, especially if the car happens to be up there with some of the established teams. Being a privateer gives the owner the freedom to choose how they operate; it is a bit like the corner store taking on Wal-Mart!

The Mazda is a car in a field of its own really, there is nothing that is even remotely comparable simply because of the 1.3 litre engine that is able to produce so much power in comparison to the other car makes that go for V6 engine power. Even then, the RX7 has the upper hand on many occasions.

Car racing does not have to be F1 or Indy these are the top level of the sport, but touring cars and GT racing is where car that can be seen on the roads. This gives inspiration to new drivers and teams who with only a minor investment could be out there on the track ripping up the road and aiming for a podium finish.

Finished in the Yellow and Black, the initial response to this car may not be a good as expected, but it grows on you, before long the car looks fantastic.

you could say that no expense has been spared on this project, but while that may not be totally true, the amount of work that must have gone into this project is what makes this car what it is, a perfect example of how a build can look when you have all the right connections and resources.

Super modified Mazda RX 7

David Allen — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 03:24:20 +0000

The Mazda is one of the worlds less understood cars, probably because of the engine set up and how they are able to produce so much power from such a small power plant. But this is one of the third generation RX 7 it was built in 1993 and when the current owner, Ben Abutin got his hands on this car it was to say the least a little under the weather, with plenty of work needing to be done, in other words, ideal builder material.

Considering this car had a wrecked engine, burnt out wiring, body damage and did not even have a keyhole for the ignition, the tables have turned and now this car is better now than it was when rolled off production line in Hiroshima, Japan and that is what import building is all about.

Acquired in 2006, this Mazda has been totally transformed into one of the most desirable RX 7’s around, but it did not happen over night and certainly didn’t come cheap, the estimated cost is around $30,000 so far.

But this is not a car that is wrapped up in dust sheets and transported around the country to shows inside a sealed container, it can be seen being driven there, this is a real import builders car that is used on a regular basis on the road where it should be, and that has to be admired.

The Brilliant Modified Mazda RX7

David Allen — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 12:58:32 +0000

Whatever way you look at the Mazda RX7 it is a smart looking car, but when it comes to performance many people are surprised at the amount of power that can produced from such a small engine.

This modified car is the series six series of the third generation of the car, it produces an amazing amount of horse power, varying from 255 to 280 from the small 1.3 litre engine, and this is coupled with either a five speed manual or four speed automatic gearbox.

In the US there three models, starting naturally with the base model, then the touring and finishing off with the R model, they each had a various amount of specs and kit, which could include; leather seats, sunroof, Bose music system, stiffer suspension and an aerodynamics package.

Because this car has been finished off in red it seems to ooze power and performance, which is does because of the small engine it gains a weight advantage too this in turn means better performance, acceleration and fuel economy if you are worried about that sort of thing, which we of course are not!

Having the might of a racing team behind a build, sort of makes a lot of difference to the eventual outcome of the car. So having the chance to have a look around a car that has been built to race is a rare treat indeed. The car in question is the Mazda RX7 and it has been modified to the max.

The car has all of the features that it came with when it first left the factory floor, apart from the rear spoiler of course only a real racer would have one those bolted to the back of their beautiful car that has just had thousands of dollars spent on it.

Cars built for racing are a lot different to those used on the road, this is mainly because they have had almost anything that has not been welding down taken out in order to make it as light as possible, you are not going to get any cup holders in this car!

Mazda iForged RX-7

David Allen — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:41:19 +0000

After two years in the shop this is the result an you have to admit it, this one super looking Mazda RX7. But of course it was not just time that was poured into this car plenty of cash has been forked out on this project too and it shows. This is a car that it is little wonder that HIN Import Nights chose it to be the main Tour Car in 2007

Attention to detail is key here, after all who else other than an import builder pro would have the engine taken out just so that the engine bay could be sprayed properly. The body kit cost a full $12,000 and that did not include the paint job or installation come to think of it. It just goes to show that even the pro’s have to pay out too.

As for the performance of this Mazda, after all the work and investment that has gone into this car what you get is a massive boost from the HKS turbo and not a drop of nitrous oxide in sight.

Great Mazda RX7 FD3S

David Allen — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:05:51 +0000

The Mazda is one of those cars that you either love or hate, personally I love these cars, RX sports car has been one of those must drive cars for some time, in fact ever since the RX models came out. And yet it is only recently that the Mazda range has been welcomed onto the driveways and parking lots.

This version is living proof that theses cars are desirable and main reason for that now, is because so much can be done to them. Whereas before the engine design scared most people, sure there were those brave souls who figured it out, but Mr Average was stunned at the complexity of the machine.

One of the main features on this car is the spoiler, it is huge and can be seen from quite a distance, and there is a very good reason for that too, without it the driver would have a hard time keeping control of the car, especially when it comes to a nice long winding bend, that just encourages a foot load of gas pedal towards the end.

Check this Mazda RX7 out

David Allen — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:36:15 +0000

We have seen several Mazda RX7’s recently and that is very surprising considering that we have not seen many of these great cars for a while and then all of sudden a few come along at the same time.

However, we must not complain because we need variety in this market as the it would not do for all of the cars to be the same or to have all of the same designs etc. this particular car is very nice to at its lines and just the way that it stand looks so brilliant, even the silver colour comes across as being made for this car, especially as they nearly always used to be in a orange or red colour.

This Mazda has not had a lot of work on it or so you would think because from the outside this cars looks just as good as it did when it left the factory in 1993. Yet underneath that beautiful exterior, there have been some serious work been undertaken, and it works well as everything seems to do.

This is the RX-7 built by iForged

David Allen — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:48:45 +0000

The RX7 from Mazda is one of those cars that were always difficult to get your hands on when the cars were first out and now it seems that the car is just as hard to find as it used to be. You have to wonder whether or not that is a good thing or not. We think that it is good, because it looks like people know something that we do not.

But the RX7 when it was replaced by the RX8 it seemed to fade like other old models, yet this one survives along with many of the other RX7’s that have been lovingly worked on and brought up to a seriously high standard or equipment, rather than just doing a car up to a level that is all right.

Almost everything that has been fitted to this car, it has been brought up to a very high level of finish and therefore it has become something that every import builder wants. A car that not only turns heads it stops traffic and creates a buzz everywhere that it goes.

Tony Nguyen’s silver Mazda RX7

David Allen — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:15:00 +0000

It is amazing how this Mazda model has stuck around for so long and looking good at the same time. This does not mean that the car is not popular on the contrary in fact when this car was first hitting the roads fan of Mazda couldn’t get enough of them and that would seem to be the same right now.

Try and get your hands on one these cars now and it is just as hard now as it was back then so some things very rarely change when it comes to certain vehicles they hard to get when they are and just as hard to get when they are old, it just one of those things.

Check this car out! It has had so much work done on it runs into many hours of hard work to get this car looking this way, the silver paintwork that just does the car so much justice. Everything has been carefully selected like the Enkei wheels, these are two slightly different sizes but you would not notice it.

1993 Mazda RX-7 – F-The Purists

David Allen — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:16:10 +0000

The Mazda RX-7 from the early nineties is one of those cars that seemed to have come and gone, maybe it was the sign of the times or just that Mazda had fallen out of favour with its fans. So when one comes along like this example by Bruce Kress, not only does it bring back memories of the car got away, but it shows that at least someone had the vision to build this one into a fantastic looking machine.

This is almost a classic car yet it has the lines of modern build, especially inside where there has been a lot work done on it. Not all of the work will be to everyone’s taste in fact even the owner calls it “Osaka Style” which basically means you take a great looking car and then ruin it by adding too much. You see builds like that all of the time though, so there really is nothing wrong with going over the top, that is what import building is all about.

The Mazda RX7 the best of the best

David Allen — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:49:20 +0000

The RX7 from Mazda is a beauty and that is without any work being done on it, the car absolutely oozes style, design and performance all one perfect package.

This is car that really put Mazda on the map and suddenly this was the car that everyone wanted, but could not afford the price of the car or the insurance.

However, we are older now, and these cars are affordable and the insurance has become slightly more reasonable.

This car is the result of the Vincent Wong of iForged, he loves the Mazda RX7 and it shows in the finished piece, where even the colours blend in perfect harmony, let alone the rest of this beautiful machine.

Of course to the average person in the street, this car is not going to register as being an RX7, the work that has been done on it is just too brilliant that it has taken to original car and made into something complete new and cool, in fact this car could we be mistaken as being a new design.

Mazda RX7 in silver

David Allen — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:24:41 +0000

This is stunning looking car that has had a lot of time and cash spent on it, but the results are something beautiful, it could even be a work of art. It has smooth silver lines and curves, but occasionally there is the flash of red Bride seats coming through the window. Red and silver is such a great combination of colours.

This is probably one of the curviest RX7’s around; it has bulges, curves and arches that blend together in perfect harmony. It really is a fantastic looking car that is capable of delivering around 345 HP at the rear wheels, which is something to think of when you have this car sitting behind at a junction.

The Mazda RX7 has been and still is a great car, this one is a great example of this model that has been carefully worked at and the finished item is absolutely top notch.

Mazda RX-7 in beautiful red

David Allen — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 09:42:29 +0000

We all know that the Mazda RZ-7 is powerful, but this one hits 586 hp and 424 tq @ 7,000 rpms, this is truly spectacular and totally mind numbing. Sure even hitting 7,000 rpms takes some doing on track but any machine that can present us with stats like those deserves our respect.

The basic car remains the same and this is how it should be, the body looks smooth and features only some slight changes that do not really affect the look or the lines of the car. For some people this just will not do because they want to see air dams and bulges.

The prominent feature of the engine is the Garrett GT4202 turbo which you couldn’t miss, as soon as the hood is popped to the left towards the front end of the car the huge bulging turbo with even larger pipes, it is there looking at you right in the face and very impressive it looks too.

The great thing about this model is that if you were driving along the highway and came across this machine cruising along you would not expect this car to be capable of hitting 550 hp!

A super cool blue Mazda RX-7 FC3S

David Allen — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 10:27:15 +0000

The owners of this vehicle worked on it every weekend for two years, which is the sort of commitment required to get your wheels looking like this and to reach the standard where other entrants at shows simply have to take a peep at your car.

This is a 1990 model of the car, so it’s getting on a bit, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that from the initial view, even so the older a project car is the better and in many cases the harder it is to get it up to the right standards.

Currently this Mazda will create an average looking 481 hp, but with a little tuning and knowhow there is no reason as to why this engine would not generate around 550 hp which is more like it.

The Mazda RX-7 has always been something different from the crowd, which would make this car something completely different as this has the looks and performance of something that even Mazda could not have dreamed of.

The Pan Speed Mazda RX-7 built for speed

David Allen — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 10:10:23 +0000

Pan Speed may be resident lap record holders at the Tsukuba track, but that was with the RX-8, this time it is the chance of the RX-7 some people believe that today’s modern cars are not a scratch on the older models.

Pan Speed are experts in the field of body conversion and technical improvements, so if you put that into the equation coupled with the excellence of the Mazda RX-7, that would mean that you have a winner, wouldn’t it?

This is a racing machine and unlike a modified car, there are subtle differences between them, the first being that this car is hardly going to be used to get to work and back, well not all of the time anyway. Secondly, the Pan Speed car is built for racing from the ground up; everything has been designed for speed.

Kris Robb’s Mazda RX-7 FC3S – Breaking the mould

David Allen — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:27:51 +0000

The first thing that hits you about this Mazda is the fact that it is blue, very blue, yet once you get over that the colour actually grows on you. However, when you think that this entire project has only taken two years to complete, that is pretty remarkable.

Sporting a 13B RE Cosmo Intake and Custom Inlet under the custom made and uniquely vented hood, which goes part of the way to help this machine reach the predicted 550 hp measured at the rear wheels.

The RX-7 sits on nineteen inch Konig Crosshair Wheels that are dressed up in Nankang Tyres, 215 mm at the front and 235 mm at the rear. These are controlled by a suspension system that includes D2 36 way adjustable coilovers.

Inside the recaros look through the Momo Millennium steering wheel at the colour matched stereo and dash that features a brilliant set of Autometer Phantom dials. The colour theme is followed through to the outside where the full body kit is formed around the car, the locks, antenna and spoiler holes having been filled and smoothed over making the lines of the car soft.

The Power 481 rwhp at 6,800 rpm; 382 lb-ft at 6,200 rpm

Stiff Stuff D2 36-way adjustable coilovers; Whiteline adjustable front sway bar; Energy Suspension bushings; rear subframe alignment bushings

Stoppers DBA Sport slotted rotors; Lucas brake pads; Russell stainless brake lines

Rollers 19×8.5/19×9.5 Konig Crosshair wheels; Nankang NS2 215/35R19 and 235/35R19 tires; Mickey Thompson ET Streets 26×10.5×15 drag tires

Outside GP Sports body kit; carbon-fibre hood; shaved mouldings, rear spoiler, rear key hole/seam welded and shaved engine bay; custom Standox Blue Gold paint and body work by Bodytech; blue halo crystal insert headlights with mirror chrome Xenon bulbs
