Esser's LS3 Powered FD3S RX-7 R1

Took it to the strip finally: On my third pass I ran a ten second 1/4 mile. Super stoked with how everything performed! I'm glad I got the pass in

On my third pass I ran a ten second 1/4 mile. Super stoked with how everything performed! I'm glad I got the pass in before the new years so I can go back to focusing on the road course setup.

New season, new wheels. My CCW wheels arrived this week, along with my new tires. Specs are:

18x10.5 +50
285/30/18 RE71R

Can't wait to get these mounted up, they look great just sitting here!
Going to have to do a lot more front fender rolling to fit these up front.

Have been installing some new parts so far:

99 Spec front bumper
Shine auto 99 spec cf lip
Shine Feed style side skirts cf
and of course the new wheels and tires

I had to do a lot of fender rolling in the front to clear the 18x10.5 with the 285 bridgestones. Pulled them a little too. But they clear!

The real photo shoot is coming soon!!! photos downloading now









Also, drove the car down to the Southern Roots car show at NCM:

Hot damn!

The '99 bumper definitely adds some pop. Just a smooth, clean look for the whole build. Very professional!

The more I look over these LS swaps; the more I’m leaning towards LS’n a 370
Your Car looks nice

Need to update this for my Z bro's

Added a racebred performance front splitter with mounts. Very well made for the FD and fits great, detaches in seconds with quick release

Then drove it around and took some more photos.

I've been doing small local events recently and have been having fun in the mexico streets. It still continues to haul mail. Hopefully going to nashville cars and coffee soon for a little road trip.
