    Painting my wheels opinions/ideas

    IMO to pull off black you've got to have some dish to the outer rim.

     

    So my vote would go to something lighter like the Duplicolor Gunmetal with a polished outer lip.

     

    Or else the black "divots" with a polished center section looks great.

     

    agreed! if you gonna go black... the gunmetal aint that bad either, dont know how it will look like with the red tone of your car??? whatever you choose just take your time with it!

    RX7 S4/S5 Front Suspension

    Shika805, what series RX7 have you got?

     

    I was under a lowered S5 RX7 the other day, which didn't have an engine in it and the Lower Control Arm Angles were pretty bad, they were angled upwards at maybe 15-20 degs,

     

    I am just curious as to what other S4/S5 RX7 LCA's angles look like!

     

    not much different from S4 to S5, all the suspension is interchangable between the 2nd gens. i'm not sure about 15 to 20 degrees but they are little more aggresive than other cars i've worked on, the S4 and S5 suspensions are is very ahead of its time. Plus mazda's main goal was to enhance suspension techniques for the RX7. What other car out there, you gonna find 50/50 weight ratio distribution.

    wow if i had my rx7 as a donner car and had all the tool to do this, i would in a heart beat... its a perfect swap to a five lug from a S5 rx7 and plus using the brake set up that the rx7 has would be awesome for the 240z. the rx7 comes with a pretty decent front 4 piston calipers... what model ground controls are you using, i know its not for the 240z (the thread looks longer) and i know thats not for a rx7, i have ground controls on my 7 and look nothing like that?...

    S12+8

    are they vented or rotors or solid rotors, there are two different kinds of s12+8 calipers. If the calipers are for a vented rotor you will need do some modification to your hub to swap them out. If the calipers are on a solid rotor they should be a direct bolt on, with a little trim of the dust plate cover and bend of the brake fluid line.

     

    there's a lot of info on the first page of the stickies in this sub forum. take a galnce at it and read it through before performing your own brake swaps, thats your life depends on them.
