The car I drive is a Mazda RX-7 FD sports car, featuring a turbo-charged 1.3 liter rotary engine. Building a custom car for drifting requires a lot of attention to the tuning, configuration and parts. I’m currently on my second RX-7, read about the first one at the bottom of this page.
2010 – 2011
Here follows my plans for the next season, I hope this can be realized with the help of friends and sponsors.
Engine Performance approximately 450 rwhp using an A-spec GT35R T4 Turbo Kit.
Wide Body styling featuring B-Sport Widebody Kit or BN-Sports Blister WIDEBODY.
Sard GT Wing Fuji Spec M, High Long with PRO DRI end plate.
18” wheels, up from 17” in 2009.
+ other upgrades to the drive train, engine, wheel spacers, scooped hood, headlights and more.
This will make my car look more like Mad Mike Whiddett’s RX-7, which runs in the New Zealand and Japan.

Purchased this stock RX-7 in 2006 and the engine needed an overhaul the same winter. I used the winter of 2007 to do the overhauling and upgrades of the engine on my own. Overhauling of the engine short block was done by Stein Svardal. The rest was done by myself. Engine produced 270 rwhp on stock turbos and stock boost after all the upgrades.
