Very nice, all of'em.

I've never seen a turbo setup quite like that 7 has.

Draw through is an older way of doing it. Cause the fuel goes through the turbo. Eary GN's had the same style setup. it is not used much any more and I dont know of any present day kits that do it.

Smile Thanks

Hey thanks for the props, the stainless steel lines come from Summit Racing I am about 15 miles from the huge store in Akron (Talmage) all the crap is in stock the store is amazing. The small lines are actually sold as vacuum lines I use them for the oil feed line from the Banjo Bolt to the Turbo, pricy but cool. The badge on the dash came with the Limited Edition it says RX-7 you mailed back in to MAZDA and they ingraved it with your name then you stick it on the dash

Very sweet car.

A suggestion: Blackening the inner wells will really make it look good. Undercoat if needed and/or use rattle can. It makes it so much less visible, especially with your black car.

Gray Undercoating

GRIMES I could not agree more that is my next project I am going to pull the wheels off and install the speed bleeders I have purchased and replace the brake fluid. I don’t know if anyone noticed how dark the brake fluid was it’s never been changed I have to get it done. Going to paint the drums and calipers to.

that is very impressive. I keep studying that carb pic. Is there a baffle between the charged side and the inlet side, inside the manifold? Is that also a nikki carb? Get it tuned and give us some 1/4 times, and no sand baggin that monster either.
