cool project, if you need help with the megasquirt let me know. Plan on spending about $300 for everything, after the harness and the little mods to make it work with the rx7 you'll have that in it.

The MS is coming soo due to the fact that before i bought the car it sat for 4 years with the batter connected and all my aluminum and wiring is corroded, as you can see from the pics. Imma gunna gut the wiring for a painless one, so i can get rid of the potentialy bad wires and i just want to do it to clean things up. why the hell didnt mazda rout the harness more cleanly and why all the extra connectors? My MS is gunna be a little more expensive because im going to run all new sensors.

But thanks for the complement

Im going to get my MS from http://www.diyautotune.com check em out they got everything for them.

I had to put the interior back in minus the steering columb cover(missing), front carpet(trashed), and power window bezel(broke). The front bumper was off because it was hit(black fender), so i had to put that on. The lower cowl thingy below the bumper was stored in the back so its twisted and bent so i have to take a heat gun to that to straighten it. And finaly my power steering pump is shot but im going to a Mustang 2 rack and pinion so its not needed. Pretty much the future suspention is going to have little RX-7 left in it.

The dash mod was done because it was broke so i replaced it with a no parking sign from a local lake, permenently borrowed i guess, its hand brushed and the shift **** i made on the lathe. Im gunna do the gauge cluster the same with the black bezel going red, around the gauges aluminum, and going to change the colors on the gauges from black and orange to black and red. the interior is going black too so i can get rid of the ugly brown.
