67mm front wheel, 70mm back wheel, t4 flange(you have to modify the holes on the turbo flange a bit) between a 1.00-1.15 a/r on the rear. turbo cost 500 bux, hks 44mm wastegate with 1 bar spring.
tin foil heat wrap ftw, **** is good for protection against heat. im not rich and i do things on a budget, my set-up is super cheap but it works.

Seriously Guys? Princess Bride?

I'm not sure what to think is worse-

You have a DVD player in your RX7
You watch Princess Bride
You have a DVD player in your RX7 yet tin foil in your engine bay

Or finally, in an attempt to impress the RX7 community, you took a picture of your DVD player in your RX7 playing Princess Bride.

No, you can't. It doesn't block heat, it'll just heat up the foil and retain heat instead. lol

the screen is the head unit i had and it works well, the foil is to keep the wires from coming in contact with hot metal, that rubber oil feed line is a hydraulic line capable of withstanding more pressure than me at the inlaws, my family owns a machine shop. i have ohlins struts on random springs, im happy with the handling, not the height, love the nasty color. princess bride is the ****, if you dont like it. you dont have a good sense of humor. im not here to win a popularity contest, im old and i dont care, as i type my wife is dancing to the chicago soundtrack, my life is complete.
