That is super sweet. Looks like there is alot of attention to the fit and finish. I really like how you routed the pipes, and that tab on the passenger side of the IC pipe is a nice touch. Well done man

Thats the Greddy V-Spl

Did you have to modify that intake pipe or did it just bolt in perfectly? Someone said they had to change something on the intake in order to make it fit.

The cold side pipe goes right through the brake master. So I had to trim it a bit and move the proportioning valve. Luckily i dont have power steering, so i had plenty of room.

CYMF3CS- That is very very nice work. Did you do it? If so you must have a TIG for aluminum.

That is a very trick job and I have intercooler envy. Which front bumper cover do you plan to use?

When is the next local Bay Area RX-7 meet?

Thanks,

GNX7

I've always wondered why you painted everything except the engine?

95% of the motor is new. All the steels, front cover, water pump housing, rotor housings, etc. I didnt want to paint to them when they look soo nice already.

GNX:

The piping is a part of the kit. This was the only kit that had the piping exactly the way i wanted it, and the right size. Good thing too, welding AL is a pain. The next Bay Area meet is on the 2nd at Houlihan's restaurant in San Carlos, right around noon. You should go, i want to check out your car.

Do you have to remove that intercooler elbow on the driver's side to change the oil filter? If so then i don't want it.
