New from Northern Minnesota

Hey everybody, my name is Chris, and I think FD's are some of the coolest cars out there! I wanted to register here because I am working on a new project and wanted to share it with the RX7 enthusiast crowd. We're putting a turbo RB26 RWD into a '93 RX7. It's going to be pretty cool!

Nice site, and thanks for the space!

It's been a while since I've been on here, mostly because not much progress has been made on this project. Here's a picture of how the car sits in the shop right now:

It's been a while, but this car is finally being worked on again! We're really excited because now that there is some time to focus on it the progress is going fast!

We built a custom rear transmission mount, and removed the factory cross member and working on building a new one:







And here's a picture of the car sitting on the ground with the engine/trans bolted in place:

The x-brace and motor mounts are finished. Next up is the custom driveshaft.
