The rear window came from a company called Optic Armor. It came pre-formed but a bit oversized so some cutting was required. It supposedly has some kind of anti-scratch coating as well, but time will tell.

The interior door panels I made myself out of 1/16 in. ABS plastic from McMaster Carr, fake Recaro fabric I got off eBay, and I reused the stock upper, padded vinyl pieces. I separated the top, ripped the carpet off the stock panels and used the underlying cardboard as a template for the ABS. It was super easy to transfer all the needed holes and fasteners over. Once the shape was complete I used spray adhesive to cover the ABS with fabric. The door straps are nylon units from Techno Toy Tuning. I'm really happy with how they turned out. I ended up covering the headliner in the same fabric as well.

As for weight, I'm not sure. The chassis started out life as a '86 Base so it was pretty much the lightest possible. Anything not required to run the car has been removed. I've even cut out some metal pieces no longer needed (e.g. rear speaker towers). I added back some weight with the roll bar but I'm hoping the final weight is under 2500 lbs with me in it.

Thanks for the info, both parts look great.
2500 lbs and 200whp? should move quite nicely.

So cool, this reminds me of when I first got mine and had it sitting in our backyard. I didn't even have license yet so all I could do was stare at it in amazement, occasionally pinching myself that my first car would be that red RX7

Nice! It looks nice and minty on the outside, and it's kind of sleeper-ish (as sleeper-ish as a bright red RX-7 can be, anyway ) with the swap and the n/a hood and stock wheels and stuff.

Wow, I'm really interested in more info on that drive-by-wire throttle. Is it a GM throttle body? What ecu are you running?
And what kind of adapter plate is that??

Engine bay's looking fun!

yeah LS3 90mm single plate throttle body.

Idles great just as well as my old 3 plate. + the haltech 1500 auto opens and closed it to suit to act like the air bypass valve (which I dont need now either).

Not up and driving yet, waiting for custom tailshaft
