the the wing is old that wing is one of the items on my list to go the engine bay has to be painted but its a conversion so im not worried about the looks for know i just want it to perform well then ill get it painted and spruce it up a little i was more of a old school plain simple rx7 enthusiast but in the last couple years i started thinking of giveing a face lift just somethething to do and give me more enthusiasm into my car because i just love rx7 in all shapes and forms im not critical to what some one likes to do with there 7 as long as they enjoy it

if you have a npr like mine its pretty easy what i did was take out the ac cooler behind the radiator and then took out my radiator , i had to do a little bending of the sides where the radiator sat the droped in the fmic there are 2 holes to mount the fmic i drilled into the top part of the frame and mounted it i looks like it came with the car ,then i got some pipeing had then bent for 10 dollars for the shape of the throttle boy pipe i use some flex foil pipe you find in autozone and used it as a template then i got them powder coated im useing a electric fan from a 94 escort with a thermo and override switch ,just need the alt the best part i ilinated a lot of bends and it makes it easy if you want to work on your car ,you dont have much pipeing all over the place the battery in the front will be changed to a optima small any questions i have no problem in helping

Right on the edge of rice. But clean work never the less. Nice to see custom work rather then buy, box, bolt.
