rx7 build thread
so im putting together an rx7 and the plan is to throw a 6L in it. Any help along the way would be good because I am new to the whole thing. Building it on a budget all go no show. Here is where i am at right now:
engine bay rust proof
Top shell and floors rust proofed from the top only
Fabricating flares for the back

thanks guys already worth my time here! im going to check out those mounts for sure.. almost time to paint the engine bay and interior and then tthe fun can start!
i understand the engine itself.. what id like to know is my options for driveshaft and rearend?
From what ive read and interpreted my best bet would be a c5 shaft?

ill post some crappy phone pics tomorrow!
and finally!, anybody know of fc coilovers that are a decent price as oppose to the ones i can find for about 1600ish?

C4 rears are very easy to adapt to anything. I used a dana 44 as the building block to my custom hotrod frame. Then used a f body t56 and aluminum driveshaft. Had to use a conversion u join for the rear tho.
