Well guys it has been a while since I've come back on this forum as I usually spend most of my time on the rx7club.com Alot has happened since last time I was here when I had my 84 GSL, with its RB holley and SDJ headers. I'm now back with a newer freshly painted body, 85 GSL now, the color as mentioned is an actual McLaren SLR Green, the engine bay powder coated parts are Dormant Green, the IRTB's are from Fuji racing, my SDJ headers, now I also have a carputer in there with a touchscreen, megasquirt, redid all the wiring and cut out what ever was not needed down to the last inch, painted the interior from brown to tan, EGT kit, ReSpeed Rack and Pinion kit with quick ratio, and tons more. Enjoy the stuff guys and let me know what you think , it almost done I just got the engine somewhat in running condition yesterday but the interior is not fully in yet.

Is there anyway of linking the images from that forum to this one? It doesn't seem to want to allow me to do that.

That's pretty sweet but not diggin the tan. Brown would've been a better choice IMO

Thanks guys! There is an electric fan installed, it just wansn't installed when I took the pictures, but its in one of the videos. The tan isn't that bad to clean up actually. I've got some sort of die transfer on the passenger side seat thouhg. I knew that I should of treated it before I let anyone in, damn passengers lol. I had a brown interior but I wanted a better contrast and something that isn't so hot in the summer and I've always liked tan.



As for the driving experience it has been pretty good. Still need to work out a few flat spots in the lower range, but at WOT its seems pretty perfect. And also as far as gas milleage goes, it doesn't seems pretty darn good (If I don't get too throttle happy ). But for example on the highway i can easily average about 30mpg ... ah the joy's of having a computer to lean things out on the go lol. But then if I get happy at every corner, I'll be around 8mpg lol. I still need to get some incar videos or something. Or maybe I can get some video from on the track next weekend. Its been a great experience restoring this beast, and upgrading it. This is my first car, and having no previoude experience with cars before to going to something like this, I can only thank all the forums online for all their great support for that. So thank you guys
