[ismaelae86]

can u remove sound deadening tar?

[racingralph]

yes , you can. bags of dry ice laid on area , then bump lighty with a hammer(not the dry ice). has worked for me. look at set-up for rx-7 in the mazda forum for the other stuff you wiil/could use for your car.

[ismaelae86]

ok thank u very much

Since it hasn't been mentioned, if your car is configured the way the pictures show it the hood it considered illegal. Only Non turbo parts can be used, the TII hood would be out.

So would the bigger wheels and tires.....but that's easy stuff.

DONT use an air chisel.....(ask me how I know:eek



I left my car outside for a few hours with air temp about 20. I was able to tap it with a hammer and it chipped right off.

lol yeah i figured about the hood i have to look for a n/a aluminum hood to replace mine and yeah i gotta find me some 15x7 rims but i have decided which ones to get yet, i notice alot of people use kosei or something like that?? why is that?? are they really light or something?? i was thinking of getting some of those or some enkei RPF1 cuz they weigh like 9 pounds a pop which is pretty light i think well atleast compared to my 16's meshies and my 17 ponies lol, and i can run 225/45 sized tires correct? size is unrestricted

The air chisel/hammer works great. you do need it to be 10 outside though. Use the wide body side moulding bit and dont push hard when the thing stops. goes right thru the floor and then jams up. Built 4 first gen cars that way,just gets harder to find solid shells and cores.

The Kosei K1's are very light for the price, but I don't think they are available anymore. Especially in the correct offset. As far as tires go the 225/45/15 size is the most ideal, but going to a 225/50/15 is also usable.

Enkie's (sp?) They're 9 1/2 lbs and only $190 each if I remember right.

9.5lbs? lol ok i was just going but some add i think i saw in grassroots.. 190 is a tall order but worth it i think right??? how much do kosei k1 go for now adays?

[ismaelae86]

oh mevermind on the enkeis according to phils site they dont come in my lug pattern.,.. well atleast not the 15's

[racingralph]

the kosi k-1 (15x7) are not available anymore .(damn it) i'm always looking for wheels that will work for us. 5x114.7 or 5x4.5 with 25mm (4.75") or 30mm (5") offset with 1/4 spacer works well. this wheels are getting hard to find. good luck ! ralph
