RX-7 Parts Impression

The feeling of touch during braking was awkward, but after replacing it, it felt like a brake when it clicked, giving me a sense of security when plunging!Actually, I also bought a carbon side splitter and I was thinking of installing it, but the matching with the over fender is ...Next, I'm thinking about introducing ram air intake.

I used to drive on the circuit almost every week, but when I stopped going to the circuit, I wanted to make a car specialized for city riding, so I changed it myself.In particular, the ride quality was the most important part, and I was aiming for a ride quality similar to the XNUMX-inch grade of the RX-XNUMX that I owned at the same time.I've been using various suspension kits, but I've been interested in Kijima specs for a long time, so I introduced it this time.

Before I thought about it, I saw it in the catalog and thought, "I like this part of Kijima specs."
-Double cylinder type: In the single cylinder type, the resistance of the seals was large and I was worried about the minute stroke.
Also, I wonder if the double-cylinder type should have less repulsion of the gas chamber when it shrinks significantly.

・ Vehicle height does not decrease much: Vehicle height decreases = I did not want to decrease the vehicle height from the viewpoint of performance with short shock and small oil capacity and stroke.There are almost no commercial products that do not lower the vehicle height.Previously, I asked a harmonic drive manufacturer to make some custom-made products with long strokes, but I thought that the genuine upper mount was the quietest for road noise, and I thought that Kijima specs were also good.

-Large number of spring turns: There was a time when I was experimenting by exchanging springs every week, but even with the same spring rate, it was more comfortable to ride with more turns, so if the genuine spring has too few turns I was thinking.Kijima spec springs have more turns than genuine springs, so maybe it's okay.

-Uses genuine shape springs: Since the FD type is a double wishbone, it is difficult for lateral force to be applied to the shock, but in reality, it seems that lateral force is applied because there is a difference when the rod diameter is increased.The genuine shape spring has a tapered shape and can be applied to a certain degree of lateral force, so the shock operation may be smoother.

For this reason, we decided to introduce it.

It is an impression of actually running.By the way, the foot I had before the replacement ran XNUMX km after overhauling the genuine Bilstein. Changed to C-ring height adjustment type, genuine + XNUMXmm vehicle height (using genuine springs).A damping adjustment function has been added so that fine adjustments can be made including changes in oil temperature and individual differences in vehicles such as summer, winter, and high speed.

Autoexe tower bar member brace, urethane reinforcement, opening spot welding, side sill one-off reinforcement bar, subframe reinforcement, tire Yokohama Digibell XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX, external wheel (XNUMX inches) The brakes are barely in place).

・ Good points on national roads: Very comfortable to ride.Since it is a fixed damping type, I was worried about matching with a little body reinforcement, but there was no problem at all.I think the ride quality in the minute stroke range is very good.It's not soft and fluffy, but it feels like it's being stroked cleanly and damped.

・ Rough low-speed road: Ride quality is better than genuine even on uneven roads.The big dented part of the manhole is less shocking than any other foot, but it is more shocking than the RX-XNUMX. The RX-XNUMX's short legs may be the limit.

・ Highway: Bilstein feels that the damping is more effective when the speed increases and the stroke is large, but the spring rate is increased on the contraction side, so it feels like the spring is supporting it well, and the shock is damped. May be modest.The repulsion from there is also gentle like a double cylinder type.The body is reinforced and the weight is heavier, so if it is a normal body, it will shrink less and may not bother you.Also, because the stroke speed has increased due to reinforcement, I felt that the setting of Kijima specs and the matching of this vehicle were out of alignment.

・ Mountain road: You can corner very comfortably.Since the roll rigidity is increased, the amount of roll is also reduced, yet the roll feeling is easy to understand.You can run comfortably if you take a ride that slowly turns the steering wheel.Personally, I like larger rolls, so I removed the rear stabilizer and became more fond of it.Since the spring rate has risen a little, it seems that there is no problem personally even without rear stabilizer.It is standard to remove the stabilizer due to rain on the circuit (less grip), but even if the grip is moderate with comfort tires like this vehicle, I wonder if there is no stabilizer as a balance between the roll rigidity of the tire and the spring.

Overall, I really like it as a city riding suspension kit.I made many sets of custom-made suspension kits, recombined dozens of springs, and even if I changed the specifications and manufacturers many times, I could not reach the foot of "city riding only", but I could not reach the foot of "only for city riding", but at a considerably low price I thought that the "Kijima Spec" that can be put in the product is a finish that can be recommended as a genuine repair product, and there are almost no disadvantages compared to the genuine product.Personally, I would like to ride the "Kijima Spec", which is a genuine vehicle height that is more specialized for city riding.

Ram air intake system
From the day you put it on, your FD will say, "Shoo, Shukon. Shu, Shukon."All you have to do is answer this with accelerator work.

Sports clutch set
The clutch operation will be a little heavier.As a result, you can feel that the pressure is applied by that amount.

Sports clutch line
You can be self-satisfied when changing the clutch.

Sports plug cord
Since it is impossible to experience it, I read back the power of 0.4 times at 2 ohm / m in the explanation, and by the time around the next signal, "That is P = V8 / R, so the genuine product is XNUMX ohms / m?" It gives you the opportunity to calculate the level.

Sports wiper blade
Lacoste ornaments that "insist on fashion that is not overstated" from the small crocodile of the polo shirt that is everywhere will make your wiper sporty.

The muffler is a little louder than the genuine one.However, the sound quality is the difference between the clouds.A pleasant rotary sound sounds!

Ram air is irresistible when you open the accelerator!

The suspension is harder than the genuine one, but it is perfect for users who want a city ride + α, not a soft hardness.Especially when you attack the corner, it feels very good because your head gets into it obediently.

As with all AUTOEXE products, the price seems to be a little higher than that of other tuning makers, but once you attach the parts, all the products make you think that you should have bought them even if they are expensive.It's more satisfying to have parts that can be expensive than to buy cheap ones.

Since the paint had deteriorated due to aging, we introduced a sports wiper blade that doubles as a dress-up.I think that the wiping ability has improved compared to the genuine one.In addition, the appearance and the Autoexe logo are also one-point accents, and the appearance is sporty and good.It is reasonably priced and can be exchanged without difficulty even by amateurs, so it is recommended for the first DIY and dress-up.
<Sports clutch line>
Since the genuine product deteriorates relatively quickly and easily expands, it was introduced at the timing of clutch replacement.The feeling of stepping on the clutch seems to be a little bit sharper than the genuine one, but there is no big change in the feeling.However, since it is an introduction in the sense of prevention, it is a No problem.

Compared to the genuine muffler, first of all, it became easier to start running.It seems that the low speed torque has increased.The exhaust sound is higher than the genuine muffler, but it is a deep bass and it is a comfortable sound.I don't use high revs such as circuit driving, but low and medium speed drives are the best.

I replaced it with a genuine shift knob.Since the height can be changed with the adjusting screw, it is easy to grip, and because it is carbon, it does not get hot even if the room gets hot in the summer.The price is a little high, but I think the quality is convincing.Next, I'm thinking of putting in a sports clutch set and a sports flywheel.

I used to attach a bare type from another company, but because it is a measure against heat,Ram air intake systemI attached.I have already forgotten the genuine feeling, but I do not feel any change compared to the bare type, but I think that it will be different because there is a temperature difference in hot seasons and circuits.I feel that the sound of the intake air is louder than the bare sound.

Ram air intake system
This is the most recommended item among the parts currently installed.When you step on the accelerator, it accelerates with the sound of "shoe ...", and when you kick the clutch, it emits a dynamic sound of "push!", Which is irresistible.In addition, it is made of carbon and has a strong presence in the bonnet.As for the effect, the low-speed torque has increased and the acceleration has improved, so I am very satisfied.

Street brake pads
This has less brake dust and has been changed to a wheel with a complicated shape, which is very helpful in terms of maintenance.The performance is a street specification, so it feels like genuine + α.

I would like to continue to love AutoExe's parts.Next, I'm thinking of installing a carbon front splitter and sports wiper blades.

Gunma Prefecture Hama (Posted: April XNUMX)
When idling, the bass is calm and the chot sound is louder than normal.It's like that.While driving, the sound that "makes me feel like that" makes me just open the window and run.Also, from XNUMX rpm onwards, the sound and torque felt so good that I felt like running forever.
I am very satisfied.

Mounting parts (Stainless muffler）

Mr. Narizawa, Nagano (Posted: March XNUMX)
Member brace set: Although the mileage is a little over XNUMX km, it has been almost XNUMX years since the production, so I installed it because I want to not accelerate the spoilage of the body any more & to make a solid foundation.When I ran on the Metropolitan Expressway first after installing it and crossed the seam on the road surface, I felt a distinctly different feeling from the previous body.The shock that crosses the seam does not feel like the entire body is flexing, but it feels like a single mass is moving, and you can now feel the movement of the suspension.

Titanium plus muffler: I got this in exchange for an acquaintance, but I am very satisfied with the dry sound quality peculiar to your muffler. The muffler for RE turbo tends to have a strong bass, but this muffler perfectly embodies the "straight structure with dry sound quality and no sacrifice of low speed torque".However, this depends on the installed catalyst, but since the joint with the catalyst is narrowed down for the genuine catalyst, there will be a difference in diameter in vehicles equipped with a sports catalyst.We recommend that you check before purchasing.

Mr. Marukawa, Tokyo (Posted: October XNUMX)
Front nose… The sound is pleasant due to the synergistic effect with ram air.However, you need to be careful about the steps.Carbon wing element... I feel that the rear is stable even at high speeds.There is more volume than the genuine one, and the XNUMXD shape has an impact.Tunerable suspension&stabilizer… There is little ruggedness even in the city, and it has to move well on highways and passes.Tower brace & member brace ... Not only the rigidity but also the stability during braking and the degree of traction have improved.Ram air intake&Stainless muffler… Ram air is my number one favorite.It's great when the sound and secondary are up and running.The muffler is a quiet sound and has little effect on conversation in the car.Street brake pads&Brake line… There is a solid feeling from the initial braking, and there is little discomfort even if you replace it with a genuine one.The amount of dust is not much different from the genuine one, and you can wipe it clean.sticker&key ring... The sticker is put under the door mirror, but it doesn't fade even after about XNUMX years.It seems that the key chain is out of print.

Ricchan, Kyoto (Posted: April XNUMX)
I bought the long-awaited RX-XNUMX, but I want to make it last longer because it is a discontinued model!But I wanted to have a tune with a strong presence.Therefore, even with the RX-XNUMX I was riding before, I had a good impression by replacing the muffler and springs, which is an EXE product.Stainless mufflerI decided to put on.There is peace of mind that the power rises from low speeds, the sound quality of bass products is good, and the car is not overwhelmed.It has a strong appearance and I am very satisfied.

Mr. Tazuru, Tokyo (Posted: February XNUMX)
A certain magazine said "Recommended!", So I thought I was fooled.Member brace setI bought it.However, I got the illusion that I was in a different car.The car body does not sway due to braking, and the car body reacts obediently to the movement of the steering, and the nose enters smoothly.Furthermore, when the throttle is opened and traction is applied, acceleration G is applied straight, and it has become possible to increase the vehicle speed in a stable manner. You can see that the four suspensions are stroking firmly, and the effect is clearly visible even in a small corner in the city.As expected, it feels a little more comfortable to ride on rough roads.It feels bad, but I think it can be improved by adding sports tunable suspension. Isn't it perfect for those who want to increase rigidity but roll cages ...

Mr. Okawa, Saitama Prefecture (Posted: January XNUMX)
I decided to reinforce the body because I felt that the body rigidity was clearly reduced due to the vibrations such as "staggering" and "when crossing a step" when the mileage exceeded XNUMX km and straddled the rut.There are various types of reinforcement such as spot welding and urethane injection, but it is easy to install by bolt-on, and the red paint is cool (important) Auto Exe'sMember brace setI decided to install.I was worried if I could see the difference in the test run after installation, but immediately after I started running, I realized the high rigidity of the body.At the corners, the front is squeaky, and the movement is sharper as it is pushed by the rear.I'm really glad I did it! !! !!

Mr. Narizawa, Nagano (Posted: September XNUMX)
I have tried several harmonic drive with reference to many impressions, but none of them was too hard or supple for the spring rate, so I could not find anything that suits my wishes.
What I found in that situationTunerable suspension.
I am very satisfied with this tunable suspension, and I feel that it is not too hard, not too soft, and captures the road surface firmly even on rough roads. It became a ride that I could think of.
Even if I put a friend in the passenger seat and asked what I thought, he said, "It may be more comfortable to ride than my car (not an FD, but a genuine suspension car)."

Mr. Fujita, Niigata (Posted: August XNUMX)
I installed the carbon aero of FD-02S Styling Kit.
This time due to budget,Front splitterとSide splitter,Wing elementThere are only XNUMX points, but even with this alone, the appearance is sharp and quite sophisticated, and I am very satisfied.
Various carbon aero parts like this are sold by other manufacturers, but I think AutoExe's products are definitely No. 1 in impact.Despite the parts that are attached to the spoiler, which is not very noticeable, the self-assertion may be too strong!It has a strong presence.
Eventually, I will install a bonnet hood and a rear splitter and aim for an AutoExe demo car! !!
By the way, the classicRam air intake systemEven the parts that cannot be seen from the outside are solidified with AutoExe parts!

Mr. Sano, Osaka (Posted: May XNUMX)
The wheels are white, but I've been wearing them for a few weeks, but they don't generate dust and they work well.Even with a light touch, I am very satisfied with the braking performance.

Mounting parts (Street brake pads）

Mr. Imagawa, Osaka (Posted: April XNUMX)
I painted the caliper in red, so I searched for a pad with a color that suits it.Also, for street use and considering the price, AutoExeStreet brake padsBuy.
I think that it is the best product for those who are thinking of genuine + α without problems even when it is cold and the brakes work and there is no sound after installation.Brake dust isn't too bad at all.

Mr. Akashi, Okayama (Posted: March XNUMX)
I don't want to make it too radical, so for intake and exhaustRam air&Front pipe&Stainless muffler (with chamber)Was selected.
As expected, it is Autoexe.Sound, performance and feeling have improved.In particular, I am satisfied with the front pipe, which is better than expected, including accuracy. The sound from around XNUMX rpm will make you feel excited.
Although the car has been discontinued, I am looking forward to the exciting products in the future.

Mr. Nemoto, Osaka (Posted: February XNUMX)
Sports brake padsA strong braking force was obtained even with a relatively small pedaling force.I think that it is also suitable for situations where you want the best lap with a small number of laps such as a circuit trial.There is a slight squeal, but most people who ride the Seven will feel it is a quiet sound.I am very satisfied with the almighty feeling from the city ride to the circuit.
