The jspec ready to be plucked. Yes, I know the PS bracket and all is still hooked up...its because I'm working outside and can't put a hood on it with the PS strapped out of the way...so I'll pull the PS off tom before we pull the motor.

The stock turbo(shield your eyes). It was probably the only part on the Jspec that seemed to work perfectly, lol. It boosted up w/ one rotor



BTW...this turbo will most likely be for sale by the end of the month, along w/ manifold

Last pic, it started raining. This is where I'll be putting the new larger..more efficient aluminum radiator, oil cooler, and of course the FMIC I've got plenty of room.

Yea, I'm replacing all oil lines, clutch hoses/lines, radiator hoses and anything else that I can w/ SS braided setup. I want the new setup to be very secure and as reliable as possible(can reliable be put in the same sentence as turbo rotary? JW ).



Any and wires will be loomed up in blue and anything that I can have polished will be...Its gotta look GOOD, judges are picky as ****!

Well, now they have a Show & Go class that allows cars to compete in the show and then the winners from the show have to go on to the track and battle it out for best all around. You can win in both or just one...so either way I'm hoping to win, lol. I know 2nd gens aren't the best body for a an rx7, but I think I should be able to pretty good...especially on the track h34r:

that's pretty cool. my FD is stock looking. only two things you will notice are shiny big *** FMIC and ss braided fuel lines and sump coming from the fuel tank if you look really hard i think a 500hp sleeper FD will be cool :bigok:

In my opinion, no FD is sleeper...if I saw one, I'll always assume its fast
