LS1 Rx7- paint job heres my LS1 FC3s. simple build 380 WHP. small cam with bolt ons.
Paint work was done by
almaden collision & kenny auto Inc.
5827 winfield blvd
san jose ca 95123
408 227 9191
a san jose company thats worked pretty well with me.
They did the quarter panel pull and reshaped and fixed up all the mini dings and dents on my car. I believe in a weeks time they will be respraying my blue sapphire FC into the color you see here. harbor blue metallic !!!
I have the shine auto kit.
shine auto front lip.
shine R-spec sides and rear valance
turbo II hood, turbo II spoiler
Modernized S5 tailights
Shine auto forsight front fenders
pulled quarter panels and all the dings dents worked out
i also fit some 17X10.5 FR500 mustang wheels with some 275 40 17 kumho Mx's looks like i can possibly even fit a 315 or a 305 with a close close fit but only time will tell.
other wheels i have for this car are fikse FM5's and a set of bridgestone VTR wheels. but with the bridgestone I will be runnin 25MM spacers to make up for the flush 17x 9.0+48 17x10.0 +38 5x114.3
now ON with the pictures !!!
stock quarters boo !!
roll roll roll your savannah!!

it does great. I bought it to a road course and got dogged on by two die hard rotary guys with the same car. Of course, they just so happen to be Instructors too ! They both sat in my car and told me " amazingly .. you didnt fCk up this car like most people tend to do. it handles very well and feels really good"
probably has to do with the car having tons of mid-range power with the smaller cam, exhaust and standard 1.75 long tubes. also the non " japanese" coilovers. just basic 400F/325R ground control coilovers with illuminas. so its not a rock hard suspension. allows me for 1.8 60' on street tires with a mild launch.
