In a sun-soaked Puerto Rico, the throtl crew is on a mission with their FD RX7. Stripping bumpers, upgrading the fuel system, and tackling suspension modifications, they're leaving no bolt unturned. With Super Pro bushings, control arms, and BC Racing coilovers in play, the team is gearing up for a performance overhaul that promises to slam the RX7 to the ground. But it's not all smooth sailing as they face challenges with intercoolers and cooling systems, showcasing their grit and determination in the face of adversity.
Amidst the wrenching and problem-solving, a chance encounter with the previous owner sheds light on the car's history and modifications, adding a touch of nostalgia to the high-octane proceedings. The team's resourcefulness shines through as they tackle a broken power frame brace, welding it back together with a can-do attitude that epitomizes their relentless pursuit of automotive perfection. Collaborating with a graphics expert, they inject a splash of personality with a vibrant livery that promises to turn heads and set hearts racing.
As they eagerly await the engine's arrival from New Zealand, the throtl crew remains undeterred, their passion for performance undiminished. With Mishimoto oil coolers and a Radium drop-in hanger in the pipeline, the stage is set for the final act in the RX7's transformation. Stay tuned for the next thrilling episode where the engine installation will mark the culmination of their hard work and dedication, propelling the FD RX7 to new heights of speed and style.
