My BIG project, called Martine!

I have gotten the car almost one year ago from a guy how did some drifting/auto X, I've got it at a decent price for a car that has never seen winter (rare in Quebec).

The car once had a 99 engine rx-7 diff, coilovers hard-dog rollcage, but the guy sold it all to another guy before I bought it. So I hade to start over with the 1.6.

Previous owner pics:




When I got her.

The car was almost back to stock, except the nardi Tokyo steering wheel, rx-7 maf and lots off missing bits and pieces..




Started with replica wheels and cheap tires, window tint ,smoked turn signals, parking lights, a hard top and a Home Depot lip



Then i decided to lower it.
I bought Kyb gr-2 shocks and used h&r springs.









Then I was forced by Max (rev9) to buy his track wheels.=P
15x7 +33 BBS RG-F wheels, weights 10.2lbs


But I didn't like the chrome finish, so I sandblasted the wheels and have gotten a set off Toyo Proxes T1R 205-45r15 Tires

Then i made a set off f-1 style mirrors and added hood pins, mirrors are now off cause i could not see anything...




Then i cleaned the engine bay a bit, got a Magnaflow muffler, Brace bars front and rear.Also Tunned the rx-7 maf.
Here is a vid off the car before I change the tranny, you can hear the wine

Then I changed the clutch to stage 2 and also changed the tranny with a NB one.





Then i changed the front lights with these and yellow bulbs:



Made myself a Rollbar with a scca approved roll bar for my other project (1987 Trans-Am GTA) using the mounting points off the harddog (the holes was already there). Also removed the soft top assembly cause it quweaked like crazy.Better pics once I remove the top. I also will raise it buy about 1 inch.

But I didn't like the chrome finish and the crappy tires so I sandblasted the wheels and have gotten a set off Toyo Proxes T1R 205-45r15 Tires to get Mounted once the wheels are painted, will get them painted soon Gloss Black.
