The car is finished! I'd like to thank:

Today i finished my car. It runs soooo nice now, smooth, fast, everything works perfectly. So here is a BIG thanks to everyone who helped me out, before i did this turbo/engine swap, the biggest thing i'd ever done to a car was take out the air box ;-).

THANK YOU:

Metallic_Rock - i conisder this car at least 1/4 yours... Just so you know, you're probably going to be one of the only people i ever let drive it!!
Robert @ Rotaryshack - Parts guy, and over-the-phone tune shop! This guy= genious
RX7Carl - Thansk for not calling me stupid when i ask all my stupid questions ;-) I dont know anyone more comfortable with technical questions than you!
Directfreak - Again thanks for putting up with me!! I admire you and your car, you have always provided me with inspiration and admiration, i really look up to you/your car!!
GregS - For bein a bud and helpin me out whenEVER i need it! you rock dood, i cant WAIT till we can both crooz the town in our turboFB's!!

I know i've forgotten someone, and I"M SORRY! i really am. i'm so excited its finally done, for all you other forum readers, look up to these guys, THEY KNOW THEIR ****!!!.

I have learned SO much in this endeavor that i now consider myself a rotary mechanic. I no longer have the fear to get down and dirty with the mechanics of the car.

That's great! I'm glad you finally worked out your oil pressure problem, and then the fuel pressure regulator stuff.

I don't mean to hi-jack a thread, but I think longduck has helped me out alot. I cant say enough good things about the help he's given me. I would say he's right up there with gregs and Directfreak. My car for sure would not be running without him.

Absitively-Posilutely Splendiferous! (or something like that!)

Good job Geoff! You and your car both rock! I'm so glad that you managed to get everything running properly. I look forward to seeing more pics and videos of you and your car

And for goodness sake, put it in your Avatar! You have a hell of a car to be proud of, let's see it every time you post!

(on a side note, my 3-year restoration project is coming to a close.. not meaning to thread-jack, I'll post more later)

Again, Good Job and I personally would also like to send out thanks to all the wonderful people who populate this forum and make things like this possible. We couldn't have done these kinds of things without you guys. Special kudos to the above-named.

Jon
