just to clarify:
dizzy is the comp unit, similar to the point one, but its got no advances, and i think its electronic, note the right side of the dash is built out of CDI boxes
radiator is the comp unit, similar i think to the rx4, notice the filler neck...
alt relocation is easy with that one, notice its got the non thermostat aluminum competition water pump?
i'm also digging the lexan sliding side windows

that is so cool on so many levels. Historically, Rotary Purists, Racing Heritage I mean that is great. I love the old school graphics the best. And that body kit! WOW!
Get that thing...get it running...no smog baby!

Looks like a current SCCA E Production RX7!
Interesting that the stock radiator is enough to keep in cool. I have to use a 19x21 dual pass radiator in my IT car. The EP cars built in KC use 19 x31 dual pass radiators.
Would love to see the rest of the rear suspension.
MORE PIC's please!

GREAT FIND!! The Car looks to be in terrific shape! Looks like all it needs is a good dusting and cleaning.
I went ahead and added some pics to your thread (below) to help you get it the idea of the finished look.
Good Luck in getting it. It's really nice!
