1987 Mazda Rx-7
Wow, never really thought about how hard this would be. So I suppose I'll just go with the flow so to speak.

I drive a 1987 Mazda RX-7 with the original 1.3L Rotary motor. I've been unable to do any significant modifications to it, due to the fact that work is extremely hard to find here where I am, and I've got a baby girl due in June. I now have a different set of rims up there rather then the factory rims. Ended up getting a flat tire, didn't have the money to buy a tire, so I took the rims off my corolla to put on it. I've been wanting to start working on getting my car set up for racing. Whether it be drag, drift, or short circuit. Racing has always been a pretty big hobby of mine, as well as import tuning.
I've always kind of had an image in my head of what I'd love my car to look, sound, and perform. I'd love to be able to set it up for drift mainly. Set up a turbo system with an intercooler with a low boost to start out, and work on getting the cold air intake system with cat back exhaust and so on. There are so many things that I'd like to do with and to my car that I haven't the time to sit here and describe and list. As I'm sure sponsor's and drivers alike wouldn't want to sit for two hours reading this.

RE: 1987 Mazda Rx-7
I'm going to try and get some new pictures to post, so that the different rims will be shown, also going to put pictures of new Motegi Racing 15'' 6 1/2'' rims. Also putting new rotors on car, going to try finding more information on getting a tire sponsorship through a low profile tire company.

RE: 1987 Mazda Rx-7
I finally have the chance to put the pictures of the Motegi Racing rims that I've had for awhile. Haven't gotten the money to put the low profile tires that I'd like to see the car get. Anyways, heres the pics.


15'' x 6 1/2'' Motegi Racing. (Brand new still in the box, with foam paper sheet and rim ring to hold foam paper sheet onto rim.)

RE: 1987 Mazda Rx-7
Just to let everyone know. I am working now, unfortunately the last about week and half I haven't been able to work. I ended up falling on my shoulder. Bruised 3 ribs cracked my collar bone and cracked my shoulder. Most likely tore a muscle in my back. But, none the less. I'm getting ready to go back to work, regardless of pain. I've got no choice, I have bills to pay ya know? anyways, hopefully I'll have some new pics before too long.

RE: 1987 Mazda Rx-7
As if things never get any better. A couple days ago i got into a wreck. Someone ended up T-boning my mother and I on the way to work. They hit on her side and jarred my torn up shoulder in to the door. Thats always fun lol.
Anyways, I'm not sure if anyone would know. But, i sent a message to a company (not sure which one) and they never helped me with my question. I need someone who knows a bit about compatibility amongst after market parts and my car. I've tried talking to people about it but noone will tell me nothing.
So I'm curious if people can help me and let me know which of the following parts are and are not compatible with my stock 13B rotary.

RE: 1987 Mazda Rx-7
Also, one minor note. To any sponsor that DOES sponsor me. I want to let you know that with the line of work I do, I travel quite a bit. I also travel to a lot of different cities. Major cities as well. I'm more then happy to allow a company logo to be set where ever on the car. As long as it's NOT my windows. I would like to keep them clean.
