Well hello hello everyone!
I figured I would dig Don's thread up to provide an update: I am the new owner of Roxy and could not be happier about it! Don and I spoke for several weeks leading up to the sale and will remain in touch as I continue his gorgeous build.
I have not decided whether I would like to continue this thread or start a new build thread at this time, but either way I'll be documenting her evolution as we move forward! I actually sold my LS swapped FC to a good friend and fellow RX7 lover so that I could make room for Roxy. After a few weeks of ownership and driving her I believe I made the right decision. This build will continue at a gradual pace, continuing in the direction Don was taking the car: Street animal and track worthy when called upon.
The long term goal with this car is to drive to and from SCCA Solo Nationals, competing in XP. I do not care if the car is not competitive against some of the stripped monsters that live in the class. The satisfaction of driving to and from such a large competition will be enough to hold me over until the bug bites and we strip / cage the car. I am an avid autocrosser and SCCA member in the Finger Lakes Region.
Some of the plans:
I will be working with either Motion Control Suspension or Flatout Suspension systems to develop a double adjustable remote reservoir coilover solution for Roxy. I have made contact with both organizations at this point. We'll make a decision on which one to go with this coming winter.
She will be receiving a Ronin widebody this coming winter. It will be paint matched to the car's gorgeous sapphire blue exterior. The widebody will be necessary to fit 315's at all four corners.
We'll be installing an electric power steering system and converting back to PS from a manual rack. As much as I'd like to keep the manual steering, 315's just aren't going to work for me. Wheels will be 18x11.5 all around.
More to come.
