Started of in 2006, my first turbo car, MY04 WRX, i was over the moon. It was quick, and handled like a dream... for a while. Chucked it on the dyno before the first mod, got a disappointing 147hp, then the first mod was a VF39, and a Profec B II Boost controller, set to 16psi. Chucked it on the dyno at Tennegah Motorsport again, got 178hp. Was satisfied with that for a while, so decided to work on the looks, lowered it, and chucked some 20's on.
Then the MOD BUG bit me, as you all know, so decided to do more work, ma yearly savings were spent in a few short hours. I decided to go for a Front Mount Intercooler, De-Cap my injectors, 550HP Fuel Pump, boost it to 21psi, and tune it. Ran a 274hp, when i bought the car my aim was 300hp, so i told Sean at AllStar to go to 22psi, he did it got 298hp, i was pretty happy with that as i had a stock ECU, and STi factory turbo. Sean assured me if i was to spend some more cash for a Autronics, and a GT28, ide be pleased with figures. But as my internals were standard i decided to stay at 298. Anyway end project looked like this.

Car cost me $33000 at the time with 46000kms on the clock, spent approx $20k to $25K on top and sold it late last year for $23000 with 90000kms.

Then i bought a standard 2008 Ford XR6 Ute, with 27000kms for $23000 2 days after i sold the WRX.

NOW my dream car, 1999 Mazda RX7 Series 8 Type R (Special Edition)
This guy started working in Newman, so obviously he had no use from the RX7 as he had a 2yr contract and moved up there. I Called him and offered him my ute and cash his way. We spoke over the phone so i didnt him bout any mods.

As far as i can see the car has the obvious full kit, 18x9.5 rears and 18x8.5 fronts, front mount intercooler, stock turbos, twin mushroom pods, racing mirrors, cat back exhaust, sound system, front and rear sway bars, H brace, and i think thats all.
But i must say, my wrx and im sure everybody's wrx handles very well, but well i drove this RX7, the handling was insane. Im in love all over again. BUT its not the same feeling as the Subaru, I modded that Subaru, i bought this car all done for me.

My dad is standing next the car just to show you how low it is, my dad is almost 180cms.

Anyway i finally got what i wanted ever since i saw Fast and the Furious, apperantley the car has 300hp on 14psi. These weigh 1300kgs stock, the whole front end is carbon fibre so i guess its a little lighter, but i hope i dont have a head on .

This baby ended costing me $25500 at the end of the day.
I wouldnt normally say prices but i am OVER the moon,

Thanks for reading.

Just needs a rear wing now mate Cant say I agree with the black wheels either - silver would better compliment the dark colour more IMO.

Very clean though - my 2nd fav next to Impreza's.

Farout, car's lower than my math results, both the wrx and the rx7 are beautiful. I've always wondered how those 13b's put out so much power on 'sensible' boost levels.
