Rebuilding A Wreck Into A Ripping Mazda RX-7

  • 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.
