master cyl, apex seals

Hey everyone

First question is about upgrading the brake master cylinder to a 929 unit. I know this has been done but with what year 929 unit.
Second question is about apex seals, I'm rebuilding my 1990 n/a engine using a Knight Sport flywheel and counterweight as well as the light weight rotors and street port with the Pinapple Racing 6 port tubes. So the this engine shoiuld rev good and high, but what options are there for the apex seals that can take high revs and possibly a shot of NOS.
Any ideas?

Re the 929 master, you need a 92+

Hows Kenny doing?
Does he still have his GTX.
We are currently building another GTX for a guy that has just about everything cutom about it. Custom header, downpipe, intercooler, intake manifold, plumping, exhaust, full suspension upgrade using all new lateral arms etc...
Should be a nice car.
I still prefer my FC

Kenny's RX-7 is currently being worked on by Paul at K2RD, having the Haltech tuned. I still have alot to do to my GTX. I want to put in a larger intercooler and turbo. Ive been having tons of problems with the suspension, still handles poorly. Oh well, ill eventually get to it.

You guys are talking about a 323 GTX right? They are turbos right? How did they get a header on there?

I build the headers myself for owners of the GTX. They come with or without external wastegage setup.
I will post new pics of the GTX I'm currently building for a customer.
