A right-hand drive Mazda RX-7 in poor condition led to a remarkable rebuild project by the Speed Academy team.
Starting with prepping the car for paint, the team stripped it down and opted for a bold fresh color.
The engine was rebuilt with a responsive single turbo setup using quality components like a TurboSource manifold and BorgWarner EFR 7670.
The build included upgrading fuel, ignition, and cooling systems, solving leaks, and positioning the exhaust, intake, and battery meticulously.
Despite challenges like coolant leaks, the team persisted, addressing issues and ensuring a leak-free engine ready for dyno tests.
The suspension was upgraded with ST components and Konig Heliogram wheels, paired with Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires.
The interior, although brittle and worn, was restored with authentic pieces, maintaining the car's original feel.
Final touches included 99-spec parts, fender liners, and undertrays, leading to a successful dyno test outputting 370 wheel horsepower.
The project showcased careful planning, problem-solving, and dedication, resulting in a clean and powerful Mazda RX-7 build.
The build process was detailed in a creator series by Speed Academy, emphasizing the importance of patience and smart part choices in car rebuilding projects.
