Hi all. Here is a little update on my car. WCC went with some other parts. What I can see from the pictures They installed Megan Racing coilovers, a Takeda intake, and no idea what the exhaust is but it sounds sweet...to me at least. Guess they wanted to black out the tail lights also. Looks pretty nice. I haven't see the front of the car yet.

Here is a video of the exhaust.

Why would WCC buy Megan Racing and XXR's? Dafuq.

lol, wondering the same. I understand that better parts are more expensive but it's whatever. I plan on having this car until it completely dies so it still has a ton of life left plus the body style reminds me of how nice the RX-7 still is. As long as the chasis doesn't split in half it will be fine. Parts can always be changed and swapped out in the future.

Basically going to keep my hopes up and not lower my excitement to see the finished product. Granted I don't even know who XXR or Megan racing is but who knows. They might have decent products. The XXR's in their 18" 9.5J trim weigh 21 pounds each which is the same as everyone of Gram lights products. I would have went Volk because they make an 18" wheel that is only 15 lbs each but that is just my way of wanting less weight. That is for the future. I have no idea about the XXR strength also so I guess we will see later when I get back how they handle on the track with rigidity and flex. As for the Megan Racing coil overs they are 32 way adjustable but that is pretty much all I know. They do have some applications on some other drift cars. I want to see how they do on the circuit. Spring rate seems right if you go to their webpage. The dampening is easily adjustable. Just gotta find my happy setting depending on the track I go to. Takeda is a good intake but the amount of RPMs you have to hit in order to see a gain is 6530+. Takeda does not increase lower RPM hp or torque which is what is sorely needed in the FR-S per reviews. I think there were like one or two intakes on the market today that actually increase low end hp and torque. As for the exhaust I honestly have no idea who makes it. Trying to get the Marine that has been taking the pictures for me over there to look at the exhaust again. I am willing to bet it is also Megan Racing just because WCC works out combo deal with manufacturers for a better price. All I know it that it sounds good and I like the stance. The blacked out tail lights give it a nice touch also. Not that I really care about cosmetics but it is a nice touch. No one sees any hidden TV's in any of the pictures right? lol.

And that is the most important part! :-)
About XXR, maybe have a look into this thread.

Plenty of happy customers, and as you said, they are quiet light for the price. From the pictures it looks like its the 8.25X17 or / 18, so it will be something around 19lbs.

For the other parts, cant say anything about them, however, again, you do not seem to have any TV's on the car yet, so its not that bad at all :-)

Welcome back, and slow your roll, there Takumi san!

Hope you enjoyed the good ole' 'stan. I know I did, LOL.

I bet you're dying of anticipation! I'd be freaking out.

Shinjae · 08-31-2013, 12:26 AM

Here are the updated pictures. Most of yall have already seen it at the 86 Fest, 5Axis and Tuesday night Irvine meets. Reppin my boy Raf.

Shinjae · 08-31-2013, 12:33 AM

I also had an idea. Thinking about making my own wide body kit based off of the RX-7(FD3S) wide body kits just due to the seamless styling. I dislike the rocket bunny one due to the rivets and the way it is cut/design of it. I think we can come up with some decent designs when looking at the FD as a reference. Let me know what yall think?

Here are some of the kits I like minus the front bumper on the white one.
