haha yeha i know..i guess thats one thing our cars are known for..simmons and rotaries go hand in hand...they are a nice looking wheel, but fukn expensive though at about 600 odd for a rim minus rubber..however these were on the car when i bought it, all my rx7s have had simmons on them, but just the style changes...ive changed alot of things since then..will get some more pics up when i get the car back from the shop.

hey guys! i have a few small updates!
the list includes
another microtech to replace the fried one, its still an LTX8 which is what was in the car to begin with
Highflowed series 4 turbo, which conists of a Garrett AiResearch t04 front cover, with a series 4 exhaust housing, so it should bolt straight up to the existing dump pipe/exhaust manifold, braided lines and hoses
42mm garrett external wastegate
and 2 extra 12a turbo fuel injectors
