When people that say "+22 offset fit great" ...then the next guy says "I have +38s and they are perfect" ...then someone "+37 is stock" it can get really confusing to others.
Maybe I'm totally wrong but it depends on the width of the wheel as to whether X offset is a "better" offset than Y...
wow that car is in amazing condition! even if it has been resprayed. as previously stated and as a true MK3 owner... offer $1200!! however I paid $2200 for my turbo silver 87 in nearly as good as condition over 6 years ago. HOPE YOU CAN SAVE IT!
If you're using the wrong resistor values.
I'm going to do the 89+ tail lights so if it's repeatable I might offer plug and play kits. I dunno.... working in a machine shop now so making "production" lights might be attainable.
Nice work 88YotaTurbo
Yeah man just get a PCB. If you can't find the right size at Radioshack check out Mouser.com. It's a good place for buying bulk LEDs, resistors, other diodes, etc. Now that the weather is getting shitty here I'll probably doing more inside projects like this one. If you're doing the tail...
The front isn't exactly sitting right, it's going to be set toward the back another 2" or so. The front is still really rough at the moment but it's coming together. I can't start on the fairings until I get the motor put back together which probably won't be for a week or two, need some $ :|
Yeah it's a Yamaha FZR600. I checked the HP, it's 71 which I was surprised and a bit happy about. And yeah... they don't make shit for this bike, which sucks and it doesn't. Good because I would rather do something completely custom than put down $ for an off the shelf part. But it's bad...
Alright alright. Stock swing arm length. BUT I still have to modify it for a wider tire. Any objections to a wider tire?
This is a project bike so everything I do to it is just practice before I do stuff to the Supra (i.e. body work). And just for something to do and be cheap.
And it...
lol didn't realize there was such a hatred out there for them.
Anyway here's the PS update... Might get some shots of the tail up later today or tomorrow.
I agree that those extended swing arms that are REALLY long look kind of gay. But where I'm making my own tail I can keep everything in proportion while getting the added benefits. Also, it's going to be all custom in order to fit a wider tire so I figured I might as well lengthen it. Thanks...
how is the spoiler attached? can I just not see the holes in those pics?
Can't wait for some good pics with it all together, looks friggin SWEET as is even!
wow, that's going to be a nearly impossible photoshop to make look realistic.
I like the challenge and I'm going to see what I can do with it. But more than likely it's going to come out cartoony no matter what I do.
I didn't forget the windscreen, I was LAZY haha :P
Inverted forks huh? now there's an idea that's going to end up costing me time and money lol. Same with the wider rear tire :( Found out no one makes a bolt on swing arm for a wider rear wheel, or a wider wheel for that matter. So I'm going...
haha I'm a member of RX7Club.com too :)
It is a very informative site and lots of cool people. And I think I have the screen name 87Supra :D
I was building a 3d model of an FD and needed specific shots of the motor and hard to find parts, they were very accommodating.
well if I were trying to justify it I would probably claim to be too short... but really I just like the look. Although I think if I were ever to race it at the track it would help keep the front end down.
Even extending the swing arm it will have a shorter wheel base than many of the new...
I got this bike for nothing and it runs good so I think it's worth the time and practice doing body work before I start on my car. Anyway I had it parked on a college campus and it got trashed so I thought I should start over.
I'm going to lower it 2" in the front and an inch in the rear...
Doesn't look like I'll be able to get my car back on the road by then. Really want to go and I have the money but I'm not going to go there without my car :|
