The car will see mostly the street but will hit the track here and there.

All painted up wet sand and buffed.

I also added on top of the Fat Mat for more sound and heat protection, sound deadening mat with heat reflective foil over lay.

The hole car sides, roof ,trunk and i even added it to all the plastic interior trim. Yup i went nuts with it. I want the sound and comfort of a Lexus or a Mercedes

Thank you for the compliments.

Here is where my t56 shifter location is. My main concern when mounting the 20b with the t56 behind it was the shifter location. I did not want to cut or butcher the shifter hole like most V8 swaps out there. In addition to the location I also custom fabricated a stock Mazda rx7 FD shifter lever to mate to the t56 short throw. Reason... I wanted the Mazda OEM shifter boot insulator and OEM **** to bolt right up. Outcome.. Good noise, heat and exhaust fumes barrier just like OEM with the appearance of OEM rx7.

I fabricated my intercooler 24x12x4. Next on the list are
The biggest custom fabricated oil cooler i can fit on the passenger side and custom dry-sump tank on the driver side were the oil cooler sits.
Once that is all done, they will be hard anodized black intercooler,oil cooler and dry sump tank for a stealthy black and gold look

What throttle body are you using? Did you make the flange it is bolted to? What is the diameter?

Thanks

John

Great work.

On a side note, I thought Ksport brakes where suppose to be crap... ? Knowing the level of work in this build care to explain your choice ?

Awesome build. Love the attention to detail. You must be single, 'cause most wives would have claimed abandonment by this point in time, however I love all the detail and effort that goes into things that most will NEVER notice. Are any parts on the car sponsored, or have you done thi$ all with your own dollar$$$$

The ksport brakes are the best bang for the buck staright out the box( i'm not saing that just becasue they on my car

....) I have allot of friends that race back in Europe/drift. Most of them run Ksport. That being said, i have yet to hear a complaint about them.

The mods i did to my Ksport calipers, i custom machined out of titanium pistons and coiling hats.

I made my hats and pistons to the same spec as Alcon calipers.

...

Sponsored....??? No even if a company did offer i will gladly refuse. I don't like sticking company stickers on my rides with terms and conditions

.. All out of my pocket, The only stickers will go on it will be ChipsMotorsports

...

I'm a bit behind with updates pics on the build... Reason. Moving to a new garage space and i'm in the middle of construction at the moment. But as i don't like to neglect my toy... it wont be long till some new and automotive **** pics will be up...

Thanks
