I hope the 195/45/14 proxies can handle close to 300hp I'm not quite ready to start a thread of my build, but I just mocked up an unfinished wheel today and thought i'd share.

That wheel look good. Where you found that RX7 sticker on the front fender?

The rx7 logo on the fender is actually painted on in two stages. The black background was sprayed 1st to add a shadow and the silver was sprayed, between clear coats.

Thanks! If I remember correctly, it's an old Xenon fiberglass front end. I was able to keep the stock front bumper. The air dam tucks right behind everything and ties into stock mounting points.

I'll get some pics of the setup together soon. I have some stored somewhere from when I first dropped the motor in.

Yeah, the sign didn't sell, yet.... I'm wanting to have a new turbo manifold made. The one that came with the turbo setup is pretty crappy. I'm thinking of modifying one from a 13b using a 12a header plate.

This is an old pic from when I first put the motor in. This was before the carb hat, piping and a few other things.
